What is it?

The wheelbarrow position permits rear entry or “backdoor” penetration. This position allows the giving partner to stand while the receiving partner holds his legs.

The partner receiving is often on the ground, and uses their hands to balance in a plank-like manner. This move is named after the wheelbarrow-shaped shape that the two partners create. The person who is laying on their back looks like the wheelbarrow. While the person standing seems to be pushing the contraption, the person with their hands on it looks like they are.

Is it difficult?

We won’t lie, it takes some finessing and effort to find the right angle. It takes strength and willpower to receive a partner.

Although it may seem tempting to fall to the floor when your partner starts moving, this is the fastest way for you to end your enjoyment. Rear-entry positioning is a popular choice if you are already comfortable with other forms.

It is possible, but who can do it?

This position, like other types of rear-entry penetration is very popular for penile-vaginal sex. You can give it a try even if your partner doesn’t have a penis.

It is possible to switch the entry point so that either partner can experiment with deep anal penetration. This variation allows the recipient partner to experience intense G spot stimulation or prostate stimulation, potentially triggering an all-body orgasm unlike any they have ever experienced.

What are the benefits?

This versatile move is about those difficult-to-reach areas of the erogenous. The wheelbarrow can be a great way to get a boost if you have difficulty orgasming from just vaginal penetration. This move is able to access the G spot more easily due to its deep penetration.

The G spot is about 3 inches away from the vaginal opening. However, missionary or other front-facing positions may not have the right elevation and angle to allow you to dive in.

The A spot is also visible. The A spot, also known as the anterior cortex or the frontal cortex, is located closer to the cervix. It can be massaged in a way that produces a strong vaginal ejaculation.

The flip side is that the position can also provide access to anal, specifically prostate, orgasms.

How do you do it?

The giving partner must remain in a standing position with their legs slightly apart and their knees bent. The partner receiving should then bend down and place their hands on the ground or bed as if they were in a plank.

It may be helpful to stand on your fours and do a pushup to position yourself. The receiving partner can then lift their legs and guide them gently to their waist.

There are several options. Standing partners can either hold on to their bottom partners legs, usually at the mid-thigh, or move their grip towards the bottom partners waist.

The bottom partner can wrap their legs around their partner’s waist to increase grip, or they can leave their legs long to create a new angle. This is the most advanced option, so you might have to get up to it. This variation is most effective when the bottom partner can wrap their legs around the standing partner and not leave them too long.

Once you are in alignment, the giving partner may slowly enter the receiving partner to begin thrusting.

Are there any ways to make it more smooth?

It can feel awkward initially, so make sure to get as comfortable and familiar as you can before penetration begins. It’s better to be proactive than to react when it comes to possible lightheadedness.

Shift your position so that the partner at the bottom can raise their head above their hearts and allow circulation to return to normal. For extra support, if the bottom partner’s arms get tired quickly, they can lean on his or her forearms. For additional cushioning, keep a blanket or pillow nearby.

Depending on your position, the standing partner may rest their lower back against a countertop. Or lean against a wall to provide additional support.

Do you need to do it standing up or down?

No! You can have one or both of your partners seated, depending on the mood. Although it is less strenuous, sometimes called the “lazy wheelbarrow”, this variation requires more teamwork to keep things moving. Instead of standing, the top person can sit on the edge or chair of the bed.

Here, the receiving partner has more options. The receiving partner has more options. They can either use the lower height to rest more comfortably on their forearms while planningking or they can choose a seated position.

Higher hips are a sign of less coordination. This penetration may not be as deep in the standard variant, so you might want to alternate sitting and standing.

In both approaches, the receiving partner should keep their legs crossed on the side of the giver partner.

Do you have any other modifications?

This Kama Sutra position, plough, is for you and your partner who are not used to lying down. The wheelbarrow version uses the same concept as the bed. The partner who is receiving will lay on their stomachs and stretch out behind them, hanging off the bed.

The giving partner will place their legs between the legs of the partner at the bottom and then lift them up. This variation is different from the traditional wheelbarrow position. It allows you to get a similar angle and deep penetration without feeling the pain or exhaustion of pushing in a plank.

Do you have any other suggestions to make it even better?

Yes! You can always explore other erogenous areas and get more exercise. You can add clitoral stimulation to the mix by sliding a hand below the surface or guiding a vibrating toy towards the desired spot.

If relying on just one arm to support your entire position sounds overwhelming, it is time to reflect on your strengths. You can wrap your legs around your partner, or grip tighter with your inner knees to free one of your standing partners’ hands. They may also try hair tugging, spanking and other erotic touches.

Once you have mastered the wheelbarrow, what can you do?

You might be interested in other positions that are focused on G-spot stimulation. Here are some of our favorite positions:

• Missionary position

Although this variant of the traditional missionary position may not provide the greatest penetration, it does offer more friction for the G spot. Contrary to a standard missionary, the lower partner will close their legs. The person on the top can then cross their legs and enter by straddling their bottom partner.

• Spooning

It’s amazing that cuddling can be so hot! Big spoon, meet little spoon. Literally. The tighter squeeze and rear entry allow for deeper penetration and more G-spot stimulation.

The bottom line

It’s not the easiest position in sex, so it’s best to leave this one to someone you are already comfortable with. No matter with whom you are, there is always room for laughter at the inevitable encounter with the floor. You’ve been there. So dust off your knees and get back in position to try again.

Sometimes it may take several tries before you find the right angle for you and your partner. Or, to decide that today is not the day to try something new.
