The Lean Back

Also called: The Slip

The receiving partner lies back with their legs over the kneeling partner's thighs, and the kneeling partner leans way back on their hands.

How to do it

The kneeling partner kneels on the bed and sits back toward their heels, knees apart. The receiving partner lies on their back facing them and slides in close, resting their bent legs over the kneeling partner's thighs with their feet flat on the bed beside the kneeling partner's knees. Once connected, the kneeling partner leans back and plants their hands on the bed behind them, so their hips tip forward and up. Their weight goes into their arms and shins; the receiving partner's weight stays on their own back and shoulders. The receiving partner can push gently with their feet to meet each movement, and lifting their hips an inch on their feet changes the angle noticeably.

What it's good for

A slow, upward angle that's easy to hold, with both partners mostly resting. The receiving partner's hands are free for touching themselves or a toy.

Make it easier

If leaning back is tiring, the kneeling partner can come up onto their hands closer to their body or rest back on their forearms on a pillow.

A small tip

Try small hip rolls from the kneeling partner rather than thrusts. In this lean, a little movement goes a long way.

Comfort and care

Hard floors are rough on knees. A folded towel, pillow or thick rug underneath makes a real difference.

Agree on it before you try it, use plenty of lube, and either of you can stop at any point. This guide is general information, not medical advice.
