In this article, we explore a sex position that is not commonly explored. We tell stories from people who have experienced what this position feels like and show you how to do it right.
About the legs on shoulder positions
The legs-on-shoulder positions are called the hook position. There are three very common variants I love, and these are the three I like to explore.
1. The Missionary Hook
This is the legs on shoulder position on a bed.
It is one of those positions that can make a man feel longer and bigger than he is.
Women describe it as a “filling” position.
Nancy says: “It is one of those positions that really do fill you up. Suddenly, your man feels bigger than he is, and you feel fuller than you usually are.”
Mance says something similar: “I feel like I am suddenly able to fill her up. It is amazing.”
How to do it?
Thankfully, this position is quite easy to get into. You just have to do a little reaching back.
The woman lays down flat on her back, but with her thighs a little more behind than in the regular missionary. She places her heel on her man’s shoulders.
The man has to keep his hands flat on the bed to spread the pressure around his arms and shoulders and keep him from feeling much pain.
He must be careful, also, to stroke with a rhythm and try as much as he can to pay attention to any pain or discomfort. The thing with deep-reaching positions like this one is that there is a small chance that you may feel pain.

Spice it up by:
Spice it up by placing a pillow under your woman’s waist. This is going to make her feel less tension on her thighs and can make her vagina angled perfectly to accept your penis.
You can also spice it up by planting a kiss on your woman’s lips every now and then. Trust me, women love it when they are kissed randomly.
2. The Table Hooker
This one is a standing position and a little easier to perform because there is little to no strain on your shoulders at the end of the day.
It is just your legs that would have to bear your weight.
It is also easier to do because the woman doesn’t have to reach so far back with her thighs.
How to do it
Lay down flat on a table with your legs spread out. Your man has to be in front of you. Place your legs on his shoulders and watch him moan in deep pleasure.

Spice it up by:
Spice it up by touching your man’s nipples. Be sure that you are stroking right. The best way to stroke a man’s nipple is with your thumb and index finger only. Gentle squeezes. Some flicking.
The man also has to spice it up by touching the woman’s clitoris. There is always enough space to allow touching of the clitoris with this position. One of the reasons I really love it.
3. The Standing Leg On Shoulder
We explored this position in the article “Standing sex positions to try” and are doing so again here because it is one of those positions that bring the spice back and bring in the fun.
To do this position, you will need to have some acrobatic ability, and your man should not be so towering over you—that is to say, the height difference ought not to be so much.
Jamila says: “This position makes me laugh so hard every time I try it out. It is amazing, and to be fair, the first time isn’t always the best time, but you will get it. You will.”
She is just about right. The first time is often not the best time, but you will get it right around the second or third time.
How to do it?
Easy. The man stands against a wall. The woman stands in front of him and places her left heel on his left shoulder. You can do right sides. It doesn’t really matter.
The man holds at her waist to keep her stable on one leg. And the stroking happens. Be sure that you don’t stroke, moving your body hard enough to make the other leg lose balance.
Spice it Up by:
Spice it up by touching your woman’s nipples. If you don’t feel safe standing that way, make sure that there is a bedbehind you. This makes things a lot safer.
If you can, you can reach for a kiss.
Why you should try the leg on shoulder
In case you are wondering, here are some reasons why it is a good idea for you to try the legs on shoulder positions:
1. Trying something new never hurts
People get better at sex by trying. If you’re unwilling to try, you may not get better. You will also not come to experience the versatility of human intimacy.
The more you are willing to try, the more you’re likely to feel.

2. Consider it a workout
The stretching that happens with positions like this one makes it easy for one to classify them as a workout.
The legs over shoulder position can be thought to be some kind of kegel exercise.
And as you know, kegel exercises are great for your pelvic floor muscles, especially for women.
Julia tells us: “Whenever I try this position, I feel some aching in my pelvic floor the next day. This is how I know that some targeting has been done on those muscles and the needed strain provided.”
3. A new memory: A new thing to talk about
New memories in bed are always a good idea. You can think about the position and how hard it was for you to get into it when your partner is away, and there is sweet laughter.
Leg on shoulder positions are amazing! You should try them out.
