Floor Sex: 12 Must-Try Positions When Getting Down & Dirty 

Floor sex is something you’ve probably read in romance novels and smut— the main characters are fueled with their passionate love for one another to the point that they couldn’t help but remove their clothes and consummate their love on the creaking wood floor.

It might sound wild and thrilling on paper, but putting it into action in real life can feel completely different. That said, we’ll recommend twelve positions that’ll leave you floored— pun intended!

But before we show you those positions, let’s discuss the perks and downsides.

Pros

What’s the appeal of floor sex, you might ask? Here are some of the benefits that you could get from this sextivity.

1You won’t mess up your mattress when you squirt.

Squirting feels incredibly good, but let’s be real— it can be a pain in the bum during cleanup, especially if the towel you’ve laid on wasn’t able to catch all the fluids. This is why some peeps even feel hesitant to fully let themselves go during sex because they’re worried about ruining their mattress or bed sheets.

Having sex on the floor prevents the potential messes on the bed, helping you fully let go during the deed. Feel like squirting? Go ahead and let it all out! You’re gonna feel hella wet after that sweet release, but cleanup will certainly be a breeze. Simply mop or wipe the floor after.

2It’s ideal for certain kinks and sexual fantasies.

Some people like  floor sex because of the primal energy that it can give. That’s why some couples who are into rough sex or pet play like doing it on the floor, as it brings up a more immersive experience for them. If you’re into that, you might enjoy trying this one out.

3Some sex positions work best on the floor.

We all love the bounce that mattresses give, but some sex positions require a solid surface. There are also sex toys, like sex machines and mountable dildos, that work better when being used on the floor. So, to avoid any mishaps, opt to do it on the floor if a sex position or activity requires extra stability.

4You’ll get to try something new!

Floor sex isn’t just made for people who have certain kinks or fantasies and people who are trying unconventional sex positions— you can have sex on the floor just because you want to. If you feel like the sexual routine is getting stale, you can always spruce it up by trying out new things, like doing it on the floor.

Cons

Though having sex on the floor can be fun, it also comes with a few potential drawbacks, such as the following:

1It can feel icky even if you’ve washed the floor.

Even if you’ve scrubbed every corner of your bedroom floor, it can still feel grimy. Floors naturally carry that “dirty” vibe since they’re where we casually walk and track in dust and dirt. This could cause you and your partner to not fully enjoy the deed since you’re preoccupied with the dirt.

2It’s uncomfortable.

One of the main things to expect with floor sex is the added friction between your skin and the floor. For example, if you’re lying on your back, you might feel a rough sensation as your body moves throughout the deed. That could certainly pull you out of the pleasurable immersion.

You can apply massage oil to your body to lessen the friction, but the cold, hard floor will still cause some discomfort compared to the gentle caresses of your bed.

3You’ll need to be extra cautious.

If you have experienced some minor tumble in the bed, you don’t have to worry as much since the mattress is soft, but if you do the same tumble onto the floor, you might end up with a different outcome since the floor is harder and rougher.

That’s why you and your boo need to be extremely careful when having floor sex, even if the position you’re doing is easy. One minor slip can lead to injuries!

Floor Sex Positions

As mentioned earlier, some positions work much better on the floor. Here are a few of those options.

1Squatting Doggy

If you love doggy style, then this position gives a nice twist to that. Instead of getting on all fours, the receiver will squat while the giver will kneel down. The receiver will press their hands on the floor as extra support while the giver holds the receiver’s hips, ready to take aim. Once positioned, the giver can start thrusting into the receiver’s body.

2Knot

The knot is similar to the reverse cowgirl, but the receiver is squatting instead of kneeling or straddling. For starters, the giver must lie on their back, bend their legs, and lift them parallel to their body. The receiver would then sit right onto their hips, holding the giver’s thighs for added support.

Once everything’s set, the receiver can then start bouncing up and down, sliding their vagina or anus into their partner’s hard-on. If you’re the receiver, you’ll definitely need some extra stamina to do it!

3Pumpin Bumpin

It’s like the cowgirl, but you’re both sitting upright— great for couples who love to see each other’s bodies during the deed. The giver must sit on the floor first, with their legs wide apart and bent at the knees. Their hands are also stretched out at the back for support. After that, the receiver will sit on the giver’s crotch, also putting their hands on their back for support. You can then thrust away!

4Air Rider

Feeling extra playful? You’ve got to try this position. The giver or male partner must have some core strength since they will lift their partner slightly in this position.

The giver must first sit on the floor, legs bent and feet flat. They will then place their hands behind them, pointing their fingers towards their feet. Afterward, the giver presses their hands and feet to lift their body from the floor. You can also search crab walk for reference.

Once the giver is in position, the receiver can sit on the giver’s crotch. They must use their feet for support to prevent putting all of their weight on the giver. The receiver can then start grinding or bouncing on top of the giver.

5Legs on Shoulders

Here’s another cowgirl-like position that works best on the floor. For starters, the giver must sit on their legs, driving them apart, then place their hands at the back for added support.

The receiver would then sit (Indian-style sit) right in front of them, with their hands stretched out on the back for support. They would then gradually move closer to the giver until they could fully sit on the giver’s crotch, with their ankles placed onto the giver’s shoulders.

6Butter Churner

If you love unconventional sex positions, this might be a winner for you and your boo. Take note, though, that receivers or female partners with back problems aren’t suitable for this position— the receiver should be in good physical shape since this is such a challenging position to achieve.

The giver must stand up with their legs slightly bent while the receiver lies in the middle of the giver’s legs— they’re facing one another. The giver would then lean over and hold the receiver’s thighs, slowly lifting most of the receiver’s body from the ground. The receiver would then wrap their legs onto the giver’s neck, while the receiver penetrates them from above.

It’s really a tricky position, so make sure to be super cautious with this one!

7T-Pose

Another fun sex position that only works on the floor is the T-Pose. For this one, the giver and receiver should stand up and face the same direction. The receiver would stand upside down using their hands and spread their legs as wide as possible— their position is similar to the letter T.

On the other hand, the giver would remain standing, holding onto the receiver’s thighs for added support. After adjusting their legs so that their penis/strap-on can match up with the receiver’s anus/vagina, the giver then inserts themselves in.

8Downward Dog

If you love those prison-master roleplays or are into rough sex, this might be a clear winner.

The receiver must get on all fours, with their hands pressed onto their back. The giver will then hold the receiver’s hands and push their back until the receiver’s face touches the floor; the hips must remain lifted. The giver can then proceed on thrusting their partner.

9Wheelbarrow

Another unique position that could only work on the floor is this one: the giver holds the receiver like a wheelbarrow.

It should start with the giver and receiver standing up, facing the same direction. The receiver would bend over, putting their hands flat on the floor. The giver would then gently hold the receiver’s ankles while the receiver bends it a bit. Please do this position for only a few seconds, as standing upside down for long periods can cause dizziness and other further issues.

10Eiffel Tower

This position is similar to the previous one, but this one’s easier and beginner-friendly. The giver and receiver must stand up, facing the same direction and with their legs slightly driven apart. The receiver would then bend over until their head touches the floor. After that, the giver will hold the receiver’s hips and thrust onto them.

11Fallen Warrior

 

This one is similar to reverse cowgirl, but the roles are reversed— the giver is the one on top while the receiver sits on the floor. To do this, the receiver must sit down with their legs driven apart. The giver would then sit right on top of the receiver’s crotch.

This is pretty tricky in terms of penetration, but once you’ve got the right angle, things will be pretty seamless.

12London Bridge

Let’s end this section with a variation of the well-loved missionary position. Instead of the giver leaning down, the receiver lifts their lower body. The upper body and arms remain on the floor, while the receiver’s feet are planted on the ground. The giver would also hold the receiver’s waist for added support.

Takeaway

Floor sex might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but some people might find the allure of doing the deed on the ground. If you’re one of those peeps who prefer the silky sheets, there’s nothing wrong with not wanting to get all raunchy on the floor. Just go with the activities that you and your partner are comfortable with.

As for the couples who are daring enough to get wildin’ on the ground, make sure the floor is spotless, work with sex positions that are suitable for the floor, and enjoy it! Yes, there might be some uncomfortable and awkward moments, but that’s the price for learning something new in the bedroom.
