The Deckchair Position: Missionary That’ll Make You Scream (In a Good Way)

What Makes the Deckchair Position Worth Trying?

The Deckchair Position takes regular missionary and gives it a simple twist that changes everything. You lie back with your legs bent and pulled toward your chest while your partner enters from the front, creating this perfect angled penetration.

It gets its name from how you’re positioned – like you’re reclining in a deck chair – but the sensations are anything but laid-back. The angle naturally guides your partner right against your G-spot while you still get all the eye contact and intimacy that makes missionary positions so popular.

What’s different? Instead of the hit-or-miss G-spot contact of regular missionary, this angle delivers consistent pressure exactly where you want it. Plus, your partner gets deeper penetration without having to work as hard for it.

Why The Deckchair Position Will Ruin You For Basic Missionary

Let’s cut the crap – here’s why this position will have you both addicted after the first time:

Deep Penetration That Hits The Sweet Spot

When your legs are pulled up like this, they can go deeper than you thought possible. The angle perfectly targets your G-spot (or prostate if you’re doing anal), creating the kind of pressure that makes your eyes roll back and your breathing get heavy. The first time my partner hit that spot in this position, I literally saw stars.

According to a systematic review in Sexual Medicine, stimulation of the anterior vaginal wall can enhance sexual pleasure and increase the likelihood of orgasm for some individuals with vaginas – which explains why the Deckchair gets such rave reviews.

Works For All Body Types (Yes, Really)

Got curves? Carrying extra weight? The Deckchair Position doesn’t give a damn. The angled positioning creates plenty of belly clearance while still letting you get as deep as you want. As a curvy person myself, I can confirm this position feels like it was designed specifically for bodies that don’t fit the porn-star mold.

Eye Contact That Gets Intense

Unlike doggy where you’re staring at a pillow, this lounging missionary style lets you lock eyes while they’re pounding away. There’s something primal about watching their face while they’re deep inside you. The kissing access is just a bonus that turns good sex into the kind you can’t stop thinking about all week.

Everyone Gets To Play Director

You control exactly how far back your legs go, while they control the angle and depth of each thrust. This means you can wordlessly communicate exactly what you need – “harder,” “right there,” or “holy shit don’t stop” – just by adjusting your position. Power to the people, folks.

How To Master The Deckchair Position (And Blow Their Mind)

Getting into this position isn’t rocket science, but doing it right will make the difference between “that was nice” and “holy fuck, we need to do that again immediately”:

1. Start in regular missionary with them on top of you
2. Pull your knees up toward your chest (as far as feels good – this isn’t yoga class)
3. Find the sweet spot where your legs feel comfortable but the penetration feels deliciously deep
4. Have them lean forward supporting their weight on their arms
5. Adjust until you gasp – that’s when you know you’ve found the angle that works

Ready to level up? Try these tricks that’ll have you both shaking:

• Shove a pillow under your ass: This tiny adjustment creates an angle that’ll hit your G-spot with every thrust. I nearly broke my headboard the first time we tried this modification.
• Play with your leg positions: Hold them with your hands, wrap them around their waist, or (if you’re feeling adventurous) put your feet on their chest. Each variation hits different spots with different intensity.
• Mix up the rhythm: The beauty of this angled missionary is that it works for both slow, grinding sex that builds gradually AND the kind of hard pounding that makes the neighbors complain. Take turns with both.

Physical therapists note that positions that don’t strain your joints can lead to longer, more satisfying sexual experiences — which makes the Deckchair perfect for extended pleasure sessions without sacrificing intensity. Trust me, I’ve field-tested this position with partners of various body types, and the results are consistently mind-blowing.

Keeping It Real: When Shit Goes Wrong (And How To Fix It)

Let’s keep it real – sometimes positions don’t work perfectly right away. Here’s how to overcome the most common Deckchair disasters:

Your Hamstrings Are Screaming Fix it: You’re not trying to do the splits here. Pull your legs back only as far as feels good, or shove a pillow under your lower back for support. Pro tip from someone who’s not particularly flexible: bend your knees more and spread them wider instead of trying to bring them all the way to your chest.

Your Thighs Are Burning Like Hell Fix it: Take a break and switch to regular missionary for a few minutes, or have your partner hold your legs for you. The burning means it’s working (both the position and the accidental workout).

You Can’t Find The Magic Angle Fix it: Start grinding your hips in small circles while they’re inside you, and you’ll hit the jackpot eventually. Don’t be shy – tell them “higher,” “lower,” or just grab their ass and guide them exactly where you need them to be.

Who Needs To Try This Position Yesterday

If you fall into any of these categories, cancel your plans and try this position tonight:

• Anyone who’s ever faked an orgasm (this angle makes it way harder to need to fake it)
• Size queens who love feeling every inch (or those with partners on the smaller side who need the angle to maximize sensation)
• Curvy folks who are tired of positions that don’t account for bellies, thighs, or ass
• Lazy lovers who want maximum pleasure with minimum acrobatics
• Couples who get off on watching each other’s “O” face (the eye contact in this position is next-level intense)

If You’re Obsessed With The Deckchair, Try These Next

If this reclining missionary position has you seeing stars, here are more positions that’ll rock your world:

Butterfly Position

Like the Deckchair but on steroids – you’re at the edge of the bed while they stand and thrust. Even deeper, even harder.

Anvil Position

For the flexible folks – your legs go all the way back by your head. Not for beginners, but incredible for size queens who can’t get enough depth.

Elevated Missionary

Pillow under your ass = magic angle that hits spots you didn’t know existed.

Trust me – once you start exploring these missionary variations, you’ll wonder why you ever settled for basic sex. The difference is like comparing fast food to a five-star meal – sure, both fill you up, but only one leaves you breathless and planning your next visit before you’ve even left.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Deckchair Position the same as the Anvil Position? Nope. They’re cousins, not twins. In Deckchair, your legs are bent toward your chest but not all the way back. In Anvil, your legs are pushed way back with your ankles near your head (hello, yoga class). The Anvil is basically the Deckchair after it’s had four espressos.

Does this work if one of us is much taller? Hell yes! Height differences actually work great with this position. If you’re the taller one receiving, you can adjust how far back your legs go. If you’re shorter, throw a pillow under your ass to bridge the gap. One of my partners was nearly a foot taller than me, and this position was our absolute favorite.

Will this actually hit my G-spot? Unless your anatomy is wildly different from most humans, YES. The angled, tilted missionary position is basically a GPS system for your G-spot. The key is to wiggle around until you feel that “oh fuck” sensation – then tell your partner not to change a damn thing about what they’re doing.

How do I know if we’re doing it right? If one of you is making involuntary noises that sound like you’re speaking in tongues, you’re doing it right. More specifically, if it feels deeper and more intense than regular missionary, you’ve nailed it. There’s no gold standard here – just what makes you both lose your minds.
