What Is the Eagle Sex Position?
It’s one of our faves and a great way to add excitement to your sex life. The Eagle is a variation on the good ol’ missionary with some added oomph to make it even better.
You start by having your partner lie on her back, then come between her legs while she keeps them wide open —hence the name “Eagle.”
You might have heard of its many variations, such as the Spread Eagle, Sofa Spread Eagle, Soaring Eagle, or even the Exposed Eagle.
Why We Recommend the Eagle Sex Position
It’s no secret that the Eagle is one of the best beginner-friendly positions and an all-time favourite sex position for many. It’s great to get your heart racing and blood pumping in the right areas!
So why should you give the Eagle sex position a try? Here are multiple great reasons:
- Deep Penetration: The Eagle position offers an incredibly deep angle of penetration, which means the penetrating partner can get even deeper into her and give maximum G-spot stimulation.
- Manual Stimulation: With the Eagle position, it's easy to reach down and stimulate your partner's clitoris while thrusting away. This added stimulation makes the experience even more enjoyable for both parties involved. Also, one of the key benefits of this position is the ability to grind against your partner's pelvis and genitals. It will feel great for her because studies show that clitoral stimulation is more pleasurable than vaginal stimulation. Plus, she's sure to love the skin-to-skin contact.
- Better Foreplay: In this position, it's easy to reach erogenous zones like the lips, shoulders, neck, and nipples before getting a bit hotter and heavier.
- Variety: The Eagle position is a great way to switch up traditional missionary sex positions and add some variety to your sex life.
- Intimacy: It's an incredibly intimate, romantic way to make love with your partner.
- Good Eye Contact: If you're a fan of the cowgirl or missionary sex positions for this reason, then you might find that the eagle position is a great way to challenge yourself and your partner, while being able to hold eye contact throughout sex.
If you’re feeling extra adventurous, try the Spread Eagle or Broken Eagle version of this position. We teach you how to do them below!
Of course, there’s no single position that works for all couples.
The Eagle sex position may be difficult for some women who can’t maintain their legs in an extended position. It could prove challenging when one or both partners are heavier, particularly around the abdomen.
It might also not be the best fit for couples who prefer it from behind, the side, or standing.
How to Do the Eagle Sex Position?
The Eagle sex position is super easy to pull off. The female partner should lay on her back, as in the missionary position. The male partner gets on top; while doing so, she should angle her pelvis slightly upward and keep both legs wide open. Once both partners are locked in the position, start thrusting.
Here’s how to make the position better.
- To adjust the angle, add a sex wedge or cushion under the female's backside. It changes the angle of penetration, allowing for much deeper thrusts and stimulation of different areas inside the vagina.
- For more intimacy, she can wrap her arms around her man or place them on his hips to guide the movements.
- For better sex, the male partner should not only move in and out but move up and down and in circles while pressed against his partner's pelvis.
- To increase pleasure and intensity, one or both partners can use their hands to stimulate the clitoris or other erogenous zones.
- For an added thrill, couples can introduce sex toys into this position to further increase pleasure and intensity for both partners.
How to Introduce Sex Toys to This Position
Tired of just the basics? Introducing sex toys into this hot and heavy situation can add a new level of pleasure for you and your partner. You can try using vibrators, wands, anal plugs, and more.
For your pleasure, a vibrating cock ring is a good choice. It traps blood in the penis, assisting with longer and harder erections. Plus, a lot of guys enjoy the sensation as well.
If you want to take it up a notch, try adding nipple clamps or even bondage gear like handcuffs, bed restraints, and blindfolds for some kinky fun.
No matter what type of sex toy you choose, make sure everything feels good, and you haven’t gone overboard with too many fancy tricks and devices.
Five Similarly Hot Positions
If you’re a fan of the Eagle sex position, then you might find these five new positions worth trying.
The Spread Eagle
The Spread Eagle is the most well known eagle position, where the female partner’s legs are as wide open as possible while lying on her back and then reaching down to stimulate herself.
This position gives easy access to all the pleasure zones and allows for deeper penetration than usual. Don’t be shocked if this one makes you scream with delight!
For something a bit kinkier, use a spreader bar to lock her legs in place while doing the Spread Eagle.
If you like the exposure of the Spread Eagle, try the Exposed Eagle. It’s essentially the Captain position, where the female partner lies completely flat on her back while her partner kneels between her legs, grabbing each ankle and thrusting into her. It’s pretty simple to get into, and most couples will enjoy trying this one.
The Broken Eagle
The Broken Eagle is like the Eagle, but with a twist! In this version, your partner lies down on their back with their legs spread wide open.
You get up on your knees and lift one of their legs over your shoulder while they keep the other leg extended on the bed. This angle of penetration is perfect for hitting those special spots inside.
The C.A.T.
The C.A.T. position, known as Cat or the Coital Alignment Technique, is much more than a sex position; it’s a technique designed to increase bonding and clitoral stimulation during intercourse.
The man is on top, but instead of thrusting in and out, he rocks his hips back and forth for maximum pleasure. Click here to learn more about the C.A.T.
The Seashell
Seashell is like Missionary and the Eagle, but rather than spreading her legs wide, she places them between herself and her partner while he thrusts. It’s another way to change the angle and depth of penetration without doing anything too adventurous.
The Oyster
Oyster can start like the Eagle. When engaging in intercourse, the male partner should take hold of both ankles of the female partner and place them up by her head, keeping control throughout the activity. The body’s positioning changes the angle of penetration, which may be more pleasurable for some women.
The Soaring Eagle is similar to the Oyster, but rather than the male partner holding her legs in place, she will.
Conclusion
The Eagle is perfect for those who want something different from traditional Missionary, but still want to stick to classic positions. This position provides all the same benefits as the classics but with a few extra perks. Plus, it’s fairly easy to do, hot, and you won’t regret it.
