What Is the Deep Impact Missionary Position?

Ever been told to go deeper when you’re already giving it everything you’ve got? Before you throw your back out trying the impossible, here’s the secret: it’s not about trying harder—it’s about positioning smarter.

Enter Deep Impact: missionary’s badass cousin that unlocks depths you didn’t know existed. It’s one of our most intense missionary position variations that takes everything great about the classic and dials it up to maximum penetration.

This isn’t your grandparents’ missionary. By elevating her legs and adjusting your angle, you’ll reach places that will have her gasping your name and digging her nails into your back. It’s like upgrading from a kiddie pool to the Mariana Trench—suddenly you’re exploring depths you never knew were possible. If you’re looking to level up from standard missionary position, this variation will revolutionize your bedroom game.

How to Master the Deep Impact Position

Ready to experience deeper penetration than you thought possible? Here’s your step-by-step guide to mastering the Deep Impact missionary position:

1. Start in Classic Missionary

Begin in traditional missionary position with the penetrating partner on top between the receiving partner’s legs, facing each other.

The Deep Missionary Position: Step-by-Step Mastery

Ready to make her eyes roll back and her toes curl? Here’s exactly how to nail the Deep Impact position:

1. Start in Classic Missionary

Begin in regular missionary with you on top between her legs. Nothing fancy yet—just get comfortable and build some heat. Make sure she’s properly turned on before you level up—this position works best when she’s already wet and begging for more.

2. Raise Those Legs

Now for the magic: get those legs up. You’ve got options depending on how flexible she is and how deep you both want to go:

  • Around your waist (entry-level version that still feels amazing)
  • Knees toward her chest (hello, deeper sensations)
  • Legs on your shoulders (now we’re talking serious depth)
  • Straight up in the air (maximum access if she’s flexible enough)

I once had a partner who could barely touch her toes but still loved this position—we just used the waist-wrap version and it was mind-blowing. Don’t get hung up on doing it “perfectly.”

3. Find Her Sweet Spot

This is where you become a pleasure detective. Experiment with different angles by:

  • Changing how far forward you lean
  • Adjusting the tilt of your pelvis
  • Shifting your knees closer or farther from her body
  • Varying your depth until you hit that spot that makes her gasp

You’ll know you’ve found it when her expression suddenly changes from “this is nice” to “holy shit what was that?!” That’s your cue to focus right there.

I once dated a woman who claimed she couldn’t feel much from penetration alone—until we found the perfect angle in this position. The moment I hit that spot, she practically levitated off the bed. Finding the right missionary position angles for depth isn’t just about going deeper—it’s about precision targeting.

4. Prop Her Hips Up

Want to take it to another level? Slide a pillow under her hips to:

  • Tilt her pelvis up at the perfect angle
  • Give you even deeper access
  • Hit her G-spot with every thrust
  • Make it more comfortable for extended sessions

Trust me, this little adjustment makes a world of difference. I keep a dedicated “fun pillow” just for this purpose.

5. Control Your Thrust

With great depth comes great responsibility:

  • Start slow and shallow (this isn’t a jackhammer competition)
  • Watch her reactions and listen to her breathing
  • Gradually increase intensity as she gets more into it
  • Communicate—ask if she wants it deeper or if you need to dial it back

Pro move: Place your hand firmly on her lower belly during thrusting. The pressure against her G-spot from both inside and outside can trigger orgasms so intense she’ll be seeing stars. Sex educators note that applying pressure to the lower abdomen during penetration may enhance G-spot stimulation and increase the chances of orgasm for many women.

Why Deep Impact Missionary Feels So Good

The Deep Impact position isn’t just about physical mechanics—it’s about creating sensations that standard positions simply can’t match. Here’s why it’s worth mastering:

Why Deep Impact Feels So Damn Good

This isn’t just another position—it’s a whole different level of sensation that regular positions can’t touch. Here’s why it’s worth mastering:

G-spot Destruction (The Good Kind)

The angle hits her G-spot like a guided missile. Instead of the hit-or-miss stimulation of regular missionary, you’re delivering direct pressure that hits her sweet spot with every thrust. She’ll feel a building tension that radiates from deep inside—like a pleasure wave that keeps growing instead of crashing.

When you hit it just right, watch her eyes—they’ll roll back or fly wide open. Her breathing will shift from controlled to ragged gasps. That’s your cue you’ve found treasure. It’s like finding the combination to a safe—once you crack it, you’ll unlock sensations that make standard positions feel like child’s play.

Power Play Paradise

There’s something primal about Deep Impact that triggers our deepest instincts:

  • She’s completely surrendered, exposed in a way that makes her feel deliciously vulnerable
  • You’re in total control, watching every microexpression as you decide exactly how deep to go
  • The eye contact is so intense it borders on overwhelming—nowhere to hide when you’re this connected
  • Her entire body is accessible to your touch, letting you heighten every sensation

Many women who manage everything in their daily lives absolutely melt when a partner takes control this way in bed. You’ll feel her body respond differently—tensing and relaxing in waves, gripping you tighter, pulling you in.

If you’re looking for a position that creates a similar psychological intensity with different physical sensations, try the Butterfly Position where she’s completely at your mercy from a different angle. We’ll show you exactly how to perform this mind-blowing position later in this article, including all the delicious details.

Full-Body Bliss

Unlike doggy style or other positions where you’re only connected at the genitals, Deep Impact gives you:

  • Chest-to-chest contact where you can feel her heart racing against yours
  • Face-to-face intimacy with her hot breath on your neck or mouth
  • The ability to feel every slight tremor as pleasure builds through her body
  • Hands free for touching, gripping, or hair-pulling

The skin-to-skin contact amplifies everything—her nipples hardening against your chest, the heat building between your bodies, the light sheen of sweat that makes everything slide just right.

The “Fullness” Factor

This position creates an intense sensation of being completely filled up. Women describe it as feeling “stuffed to the brim” or like “there’s no empty space left inside.” The depth and angle combine to create pressure that reaches parts of her that rarely get attention.

The pressure against her cervix (which some women love and others don’t) creates a whole-body response that’s different from regular orgasms—deeper, more intense, and sometimes making her entire body shake rather than just pulse. That’s not just deep—that’s BSP Deep Impact deep.

Potential Challenges (And How to Conquer Them)

Let’s be honest—Deep Impact isn’t always smooth sailing from the start. Here are the most common issues and how to solve them like a pro:

“Ouch, That’s Too Deep!”

Problem: You’re hitting her cervix in a way that causes pain, not pleasure.

Solutions:

  • Dial back the depth until you find her comfort zone
  • Use plenty of lube (seriously, don’t skip this)
  • Let her control the depth initially by holding your hips
  • Try a slightly different angle that slides past rather than into the cervix
  • Remember: deeper isn’t always better—finding the right spot matters more than maximum depth

Leg Cramps From Hell

Problem: Her legs start cramping or shaking after a few minutes.

Solutions:

  • Switch up the leg position before fatigue sets in
  • Take short breaks to stretch without ending the fun
  • Try the pillow-supported version for less strain
  • Massage her legs briefly when switching positions
  • Build up stamina over time (the more you practice, the longer she’ll last)

I dated a yoga instructor who could hold this position for what seemed like forever, but most of us mere mortals need some adjustments. No shame in that game.

The Awkward Angle Dilemma

Problem: You can’t quite find the right angle that works for both of you.

Solutions:

  • Add or remove pillows under her hips to adjust the height
  • Have her tilt her pelvis slightly up or down
  • Move your knees closer or farther from her body
  • Try the edge-of-bed variation with you standing (gives you more control)
  • Remember that bodies are unique—what works in porn might not work for your unique anatomy

Deep Impact Variations That Will Blow Your Mind

The basic Deep Impact position is just the beginning. Here are some BSP-certified variations that will keep things hot and heavy:

One Leg on Shoulder Deep Impact 

A red-haired woman in a maid outfit lies on her back on the bed while her partner is on top, lifting one of her legs over his shoulder as they stay closely connected in an intimate position.

For impressive depth that makes all the difference:

  • Lift and hold one of her legs up against your chest or shoulder
  • Keep her other leg extended or slightly bent on the bed
  • Grip her thigh for better stability and control This variation significantly enhances the traditional position by creating a new angle of entry. The asymmetrical position allows for deeper penetration while still maintaining intimate eye contact. 

The Anvil 

A cute woman with dark blue hair, wearing a red tank top and red heels, experimenting with the anvil position with her lover on the floor in the bedroom.

This take-no-prisoners variation maxes out the intensity:

  • Push her legs back further toward her shoulders
  • Your bodies form an almost right angle
  • Creates the deepest possible penetration

The Anvil is perfect for when you’re both warmed up and ready for peak intensity. For the full experience, check out our dedicated guide to the Anvil Position.

The Butterfly 

A muscular brunette man making love to his girlfriend in the kneeling butterfly pose on a pillow. She wears stockings, adding to the intimate atmosphere.

For when you want maximum control:

  • She lies on the bed with her ass at the very edge
  • You stand on the floor between her legs
  • Her legs rest against your chest or over your shoulders

This standing variation gives you tremendous leverage for precise movements, plus an incredible view of her reactions.

The Criss-Cross

A stunning blonde lies on the bed with her hips at the edge, while a muscular, tanned man stands in front of her, holding her securely as they practice the standing criss cross position

Want to take things up a notch? Try this twist:

  • Start in the basic position
  • Have her cross her ankles behind your neck
  • Creates an even tighter sensation for both of you

This subtle change creates an entirely new sensation that can push you both over the edge.

When Deep Penetration Missionary Hits Different

Not every sexual encounter calls for the same positions. Here’s when Deep Impact should be your go-to move:

When She Wants to Feel Utterly Possessed

This position creates a perfect storm of physical and psychological intensity:

  • The depth hits spots that make her entire body respond
  • The eye contact creates a connection that’s almost overwhelming
  • Your bodies are completely entwined
  • There’s nowhere for her to go except deeper into pleasure

When you want to create a memory that will flash through her mind during boring meetings the next day, this is your position.

When “Harder” Isn’t Cutting It Anymore

Sometimes she’ll ask for “harder” when what she really means is “deeper.” If you’re already giving it everything you’ve got in regular missionary but she still wants more, Deep Impact is your answer. It’s not about using more force—it’s about accessing depths that regular positions simply can’t reach.

When You Want to Trigger Her G-spot Orgasm

If she’s struggled to orgasm from penetration alone, Deep Impact might be the game-changer:

  • Direct, consistent pressure on her G-spot
  • Your pubic bone can provide clitoral stimulation
  • The psychological intensity often pushes women over the edge
  • There’s room for her (or you) to add manual stimulation

The first time I used this position with a partner who thought she couldn’t orgasm from penetration, her expression when she proved herself wrong was absolutely unforgettable.

When You Both Need to Feel Closer

Sometimes sex is casual and fun. Other times, you need to feel like you’re melting into each other:

  • The full-body contact creates a profound connection
  • The vulnerability of the position creates emotional intimacy
  • The eye contact is inescapable and intense
  • The position naturally encourages slower, more deliberate movements

Deep Impact creates the kind of closeness that goes beyond physical pleasure—but don’t worry, the physical pleasure is still off the charts.

The BSP Bottom Line

Let’s cut to the chase: Deep Impact missionary isn’t just another position—it’s a game-changer that belongs in every sexual adventurer’s playbook. It transforms the familiar comfort of missionary into something that will have her gasping your name and leaving nail marks down your back.

Is it more work than basic missionary? Sure. Might your thighs burn a little? Probably. But the sounds she’ll make and the way she’ll look at you afterward make it worth every drop of sweat. This position hits depths—both physical and emotional—that few others can match. That’s not just deep—that’s BSP Deep Impact deep.

Master this position and you’ll never hear “deeper” as a complaint again. Instead, it’ll become her favorite request because she knows exactly what mind-blowing sensations are coming her way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Deep Impact hurt her if I go too deep?

Yes, it absolutely can. There’s a fine line between “oh my god yes” and “ouch, too much!” The cervix isn’t meant to be pounded, and for many women, direct pressure on it ranges from uncomfortable to painful. Start gentle, communicate constantly, and let her guide the depth until you learn her specific preferences. Some women love deep pressure on the cervix, others definitely don’t — there’s no universal rule here. Medical News Today explains that the cervix is made of highly sensitive tissue, and while some women enjoy deep stimulation, others can find it painful or uncomfortable. Understanding individual anatomy and sensitivity is key when it comes to pleasurable deep penetration.

How is Deep Impact different from regular missionary?

Regular missionary is like vanilla ice cream—classic and satisfying but not exactly mind-blowing. Deep Impact is like adding hot fudge, caramel, and whatever else gets you excited. The main difference is the positioning of her legs—up high instead of down or slightly spread—which completely changes the angle and depth of penetration. It’s missionary that finally lives up to all those sounds people make in movies.

What if she’s not flexible enough for this?

Not everyone needs to be a contortionist. Start with the simple version where her legs wrap around your waist. Even this creates deeper penetration than standard missionary. Use pillows for support, and only raise her legs as high as feels good. Remember—this is about pleasure, not passing a flexibility test. That’s not just deep—that’s BSP Deep Impact deep.

Will Deep Impact missionary help hit her G-spot?

Hell yes. This position is basically a guided missile to the G-spot. The angle of penetration directly targets the front wall of the vagina where the G-spot is located. The combination of depth and pressure against this area is why many women who “can’t orgasm from penetration” suddenly discover they actually can in this position.

Can this position help me last longer during sex?

Ironically, while Deep Impact creates more intense sensations, it can actually help some guys last longer. The more controlled thrusting and grinding motions (versus jackhammer-style pounding) can help you manage your arousal levels. Plus, the focus required to maintain the position gives your brain something to concentrate on besides how amazing everything feels. Use that mental distraction to your advantage when you feel yourself getting too close too quickly.

Is Deep Impact good for different body types?

Absolutely. This position adapts well to different bodies. For couples with size differences, the angle lets you control depth perfectly. If weight is a concern, the pillows distribute pressure more comfortably. And for height differences, the edge-of-bed standing variation solves alignment issues. Everyone fits together differently—experiment to find what works for your specific bodies.
