Banana Split Sex Position: When Regular Doggy Just Isn’t Enough

When Doggy Style Gets an Upgrade

Picture this: you’re lying face down, legs spread as wide as they’ll go, completely open and exposed while your partner kneels behind you with access that makes them whisper your name like a prayer. That’s the banana split position – and once you experience this level of deep, targeted pleasure, regular doggy style positions start to feel pretty basic.

This isn’t just doggy style with wider legs. The banana split creates a completely different experience. When you spread yourself open like this, every thrust hits deeper, every sensation gets turned up, and that vulnerable feeling becomes incredibly arousing.

The first time my partner saw me in this position, they actually paused and whispered “holy shit” before diving in. I understood why. There’s something raw about being completely open to someone’s desire that transforms ordinary sex into something that leaves you both gasping and already planning your next encounter.

Getting Into the Banana Split (Without Pulling a Muscle)

Ready to spread yourself open for some next-level pleasure? Here’s how to nail this position:

If You’re Receiving:

Lie face down on your bed or a comfortable surface – this is your moment to surrender completely.

Spread those legs wide – as far apart as feels good. The wider you go, the deeper they can reach, but comfort is key.

Find your sweet spot – rest on your forearms, grab a pillow for your hips, or just melt into the mattress. Whatever keeps you comfortable enough to focus on the sensations.

Let those thighs relax – the more you release tension, the wider you can spread and the better everything feels.

If You’re Penetrating:

Position yourself between those beautiful open legs – take a moment to appreciate the view because it’s spectacular.

Start slow and build intensity – you can go deeper than usual in this position, so ease in and let the pleasure build gradually.

Take complete control – vary your rhythm, depth, and angle to drive them wild. This is your show to direct.

Use your hands – reach around for some clitoral play or grip those hips to pull them exactly where you want them.

Pro tip: Try the edge-of-bed version where they lie with legs spread wide while you stand behind them. The leverage will give you angles that make both of you forget the outside world exists.

Why This Position Will Become Your New Obsession

The Depth Hits Different

When your legs are spread this wide, your partner can reach places that regular positions simply can’t touch. We’re talking about G-spot or P-spot contact that’s so precise it feels like they’ve found your body’s secret button.

That first moment when they slide all the way in? It’s like discovering a completely new dimension of fullness. My partner and I stumbled onto this angle during a particularly adventurous evening, and let’s just say our neighbors definitely got an education that night.

Your Whole Body Lights Up

Something incredible happens when you stretch your inner thighs wide – suddenly every touch, every thrust, every brush of skin gets turned up to eleven. That gentle tension running through your legs creates this full-body awareness that makes even the softest caress feel electric.

Your spread position actually increases blood flow and nerve sensitivity, which is why the banana split feels so much more intense than standard doggy style. Medical research on sexual arousal shows that increased genital blood flow during sexual stimulation enhances sensitivity and amplifies physical sensations – it’s your body’s natural way of turning up the pleasure dial when you’re in this beautifully vulnerable position.

The Power Exchange is Intoxicating

Let’s be honest – this position is incredibly arousing because it’s all about vulnerability and control. One of you is completely exposed and open while the other has total command of the rhythm and depth. The visual alone can push some people right to the edge.

I’ve had partners tell me that seeing me spread out like this nearly made them lose control before we even really got started. There’s something beautifully raw about being completely open to someone else’s desire – and equally powerful about having that level of access to your partner’s pleasure.

You’ll Hit Sweet Spots Every Single Time

The banana split angle targets your most sensitive internal spots with laser precision. Many BSP readers write to tell us they had their first intense G-spot orgasm in this position – it’s that effective at creating the perfect combination of angle and pressure.

Making It Work for Every Body

If Flexibility Isn’t Your Strong Suit

Don’t stress about achieving gymnast-level splits. Even spreading your legs moderately wider than usual creates incredible sensations. Use pillows under your hips and thighs for support – comfort leads to better orgasms, always.

For Curvier Bodies

If lying completely flat isn’t comfortable, prop your chest up on pillows or stay on your forearms with legs spread wide. This creates breathing room while maintaining that gorgeous spread-leg position that drives your partner wild.

Height Differences

Try this at the edge of the bed with the receiving partner lying down while the penetrating partner stands and adjusts their stance. A pillow or wedge under the hips can make everything align perfectly.

If Limited Mobility

Joint issues don’t have to stop you – try a modified version on your knees with legs spread wide. You’ll still get those delicious banana split sensations without putting strain on your body. For more accessible rear-entry options, the accessible doggy offers similar deep angles with better comfort

When Things Get Tricky (And How to Fix Them)

“My legs are shaking after 30 seconds!” Switch between regular doggy and the banana split throughout your session. The contrast will drive you both wild, and it gives your muscles a break to enjoy longer sessions.

“It’s almost too intense in this position” Have your partner ease up on depth, or adjust the angle with a pillow under your hips. Great sex is about finding that perfect spot between “not enough” and “too much.”

“I feel incredibly exposed” That vulnerability is part of what makes this position so intensely arousing, but if you need to ease into it, try dim lighting or starting under covers. Most people find that exposed feeling becomes addictive once they embrace it.

Between us? I was nervous about this position at first – something about being spread open felt almost too intimate. But once I experienced how that vulnerability amplified every sensation, I understood why it’s such a turn-on. That mental surrender intensifies the physical pleasure in ways that caught me completely off guard.

Sex therapy experts explain that sexual vulnerability, when experienced within a trusting relationship, can actually deepen and enhance the sexual experience by creating authentic connection and removing barriers between partners. That exposed feeling isn’t just physical – it’s psychological fuel that makes every sensation more intense.

“We keep losing our rhythm” In the banana split, let the penetrating partner control the movement. Your spread legs give you less mobility, so relax into enjoying every sensation while they find that perfect rhythm that makes you dissolve into pleasure. Communication is key here – tell them exactly what angle and speed drives you wild.

Essential Comfort Tips

Lube is your friend – The wide positioning can create different friction patterns, so quality lubrication ensures everything glides smoothly and feels incredible rather than uncomfortable.

Support your body – Don’t hesitate to use pillows under your chest, hips, or knees. Comfort equals better orgasms, and this position should feel amazing, not like a yoga challenge.

Listen to your body – If your inner thighs start cramping, adjust your leg position or take a break. The goal is pleasure, not proving your flexibility.

Perfect for anal play – This position is phenomenal for backdoor fun since the wide spread gives incredible access and the angle feels amazing. Just use extra lube and communicate about depth and pace.

Variations That’ll Keep You Coming Back

The Elevated Banana Split

Place a pillow or wedge under your hips to change the angle slightly. This small adjustment can transform great sensations into something that makes you grip the sheets as it targets your sweet spots even more precisely. If you love this elevated angle, you might also enjoy the speed bump position which uses similar hip elevation techniques.

The Side Split

If face-down isn’t comfortable, try lying on your side with your top leg extended up and out. Your partner kneels beside you for a modified version that’s easier on your back while still giving you that beautiful stretched-open feeling.

Taking Your Banana Split to the Next Level

Add Some Extra Stimulation

Your clitoris is perfectly accessible in this position – add a vibrator and prepare for blended orgasms that roll through your entire body. The combination of deep internal stimulation and focused clitoral attention creates waves of pleasure that build on each other beautifully.
