Note: This guide focuses on gay male sex positions, so we use he/him for clarity. We’ll also be using terms like “giver” which pertains to the top and “receiver” for the bottom.
From the missionary to the helicopter, you might think you’ve done it all. But there are always, always things out there left for you to try to spice up your sex life. And yes, we know it’s called this article “gay sex positions,” but any sex position could be for everyone if you just learn how to maneuver right. In this article, not only will we tackle different gay positions but we will also answer common questions about anal play.
What are the Different Gay Sexual Practices?
Before proceeding with the best gay kamasutra positions, let’s discuss what constitutes anal sex. There are five activities under the umbrella of gay or men-loving-men sex.
1Oral Sex

This activity involves stimulating your partner’s genitals with your mouth. You can either lick or suck their penis (blowjob), lick or suck their balls (teabagging) or lick their anus (analingus or rimming).
2Frotting

This sexual practice involves both men rubbing their erect dicks against each other. It’s ptetty much similar to dry humping or lesbian tribbing.
3Mutual Masturbation

As the name implies, both men would be masturbating in front or next to each other. They may use their hands only or use sex toys. It’s like watching pornography while masturbating, but instead of a stranger on a screen, you’re watching your partner in real-time.
4Anal Fingering

This sexual practice involves a person inserting their finger into their male partner. This is a great activity if both parties haven’t tried anal sex yet. It’s also one of the best ways to stimulate the prostate gland, a male erogenous zone known as the “male g-spot.”
5Penis-to-Anus Penetration

This is the commonly known gay sexual activity. It involves a person penetrating their male partner’s anus with their penis and then moving it back and forth until both parties climax.

Tips
You may think you already know all there is to gay sex, but there is always more to be learned! Knowing the different gay kamastura positions is just not enough.Here are some more basic sex tips for those who want to upgrade their backdoor plays.
1Double your foreplay time.

We cannot stress the importance of foreplay enough. You would want to get down to business as soon as possible, but you should establish good foreplay to make sex even better! Focus on kissing and teasing before getting down to business. Build up a smooth transition to the main event and enjoy the process!
2Keep your hands busy.

While kissing or giving oral or something else, your hands need to be doing something! They can be touching your partner’s chest, jerking them off, or caressing their hand. Or your hands can be holding on to the bedpost for dear life. Your hands should never be just lying by your side doing nothing.
3Safe sex is great sex.

Aside from learning the different gay kamasutra positions, learning and follow safe sex practices is a must. Several years after the AIDS epidemic, there’s still a misconception that gay sex is dirty and undoubtedly leads to STDs, which isn’t true. Having sex with condoms is the most responsible thing to do for yourself and your partner. And even before doing the deed, make sure you know each other’s status and history to prevent further complications.
4Remember to breathe.

It’s a very simple thing to do, but when you’re in the middle of thrilling sex, you can get so excited that you forget to breathe. Proper breath control will help you manage your orgasms. It’s good to pay attention to your breathing if you tend to get too excited and ejaculate prematurely.
5Always use lube.

When doing these gay sex positions, never ever forget this trip! Personal or sexual lubricants minimize friction between your penis and your partner’s anus or sex toy. Remember that the anus, unlike the vagina, doesn’t self-lubricate. And if you insert you engage in anal sex without using lube, you’re putting yourself or your partner at risk, as non-lube sex can cause anal tears or injury.
When it comes to the type of lubricant to use, it’s best to go with silicone-based lubes, as they’re thicker than water-based lube; there is no need to reapply as often as you would when using a water-based lube. We also suggest keeping your anal sex lube simple— it should be unflavored and unscented. Save the flavored ones for oral play!
6Aim for the P-spot.

Ah yes, the man’s g-spot. When you’re on top, make sure to aim for your partner’s p-spot. The p-spot is essentially the prostate. Maximum pleasure comes from prostate stimulation, which can be very satisfying and lead to a fulfilling orgasm.
7Make use of vibrating cock rings.

While trying the different gay kamasutra positions, we recommend using love toys such as cock rings. Using a vibrating cock ring can make the man on top feel good, helping him reach a full-body climax. Plus, it also makes the giver’s erection firmer and longer-lasting feels good for the man bottoming too. The two of you can enjoy shared orgasms by using a vibrating cock ring.
8Spread your butt cheeks wide before he penetrates you.

By wide, we mean WIDE.
After generously applying lube, you want him to penetrate you slow and deep. Remember to let your top know if you feel any discomfort in this process. That way he can apply more lube and you can adjust more to feel relaxed. And as for the toppers, pull his butt cheeks apart as far as they go before penetration.
9Bigger isn’t always better

Sure a huge penis may be nice to stroke at look at longingly. But if the penis is too huge, it may be hard to fit it in the back door. So make sure you have trained those bum muscles for a huge penis. Remember that size isn’t everything. What matters is the satisfaction, safety and enjoyment you have with each other.
10Change up locations.

The environment is a huge factor when making love! You want to be in a place where you feel thrill and good safety. Sex doesn’t always have to be in the bedroom. If you’re feeling adventurous, you would want to have your lovemaking sessions in the living room, kitchen, laundry or even outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Now that you know the different position styles in gay sex, you may still have questions looming in your mind. Don’t worry because we got you covered in this FAQ below.
1 Is foreplay in gay sex important?
Yes! Foreplay is essential in setting the mood for the sensual play ahead. It can even set who will be top or bottom depending on your mood. Giving your partner passionate kisses and touching them in their sweet spots are great expressions of desire. Sufficient time spent on foreplay is a vital element to great sex.
2What are the best gay kamasutra positions for beginners?
This comes down to preference and what angles turn you on. Whichever gay sex position it may be, getting penetrated from behind can be what gets you going or being the one on top. Missionary can be a thrill, too, because you look into your partner’s eyes while you’re having sex. That kind of intimacy shouldn’t be underestimated either. Whether it be missionary, doggie, or suspended congress, we recommend you try out different gay kamasutra positions and communicate well with your partner about doing them.
3How much lube should I use during gay sex?
You can never have too much lube. Unlike the vagina, the anus lacks lubrication, so you have to apply tons of lube before any penetration. Penetration without lubrication can tear the delicate tissue in the anus, which can lead to pain and bleeding. For comfort, you will need to have your lubricant and plenty of it. Silicone-based lube is recommended for anal as it’s thicker and lasts longer, while water-based lube is best for silicone sex toys.
4Is bottoming during gay sex painful?
Bottoming for the first time can cause some mild pain, especially knowing it’s your first time being penetrated in the bum. The key to lessening the pain is to apply a generous amount of lube around the anus to ease the penetration. It’s also a plus if you’re relaxed when you’re being penetrated because being tense during sex will not help you feel aroused and enjoy the moment.
5How do I reduce the pain from gay sex?
For reducing pain during penetration, we always need to highlight the importance of lube application before anything goes in the bum. Another way to reduce the pain during anal sex is to establish good communication and foreplay with your partner. This means spending enough time giving consent, kissing, cuddling, and perhaps a sensual massage. These steps will help make sure both of you are relaxed and are in the mood to have sex.
6What’s the best way to clean after gay sex?
Cleaning up is the small price you have to pay after an enjoyable time with your behind. This is especially if you have tried all sorts of gay sex positions. Start with washing the anal and genital region. Rinse the area well and pat dry. Those with foreskin should gently pull it back and clean underneath to remove semen buildup. Consider anal douching as well as cleaning up. Anal douching is the hygienic practice of rinsing the rectum with a douching device such as a douche bulb.
7Is oral during gay sex safe without a condom?
Some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can spread through oral sex. We recommend using condoms or dental dams for those who want to decrease their chances of getting an STI. People who are giving unprotected oral sex should ask for a throat swab to test for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
8What’s the best way to do oral during gay sex?
Regardless if this is gay sex or not, this comes down to preference as well. Oral could be just as pleasurable for the receiving as the giving partner. Oral can either be a precursor to anal or be its standalone sex. Giving your partner head and then having them give the same to you can be a mind-blowing experience that will result in wild orgasms for both parties.
9What are the common STI symptoms?
Common STI symptoms include itching, blisters or sores, painful bowel movements, soreness while sitting, bleeding, and rectal spasms. You should always get tested if you’ve engaged in unprotected anal sex, even in the absence of symptoms. That includes rimming (oral-anal sex). If your partner had a throat or oral STI, it could have spread to your rectum.
10What can I do to avoid STIs?
Unprotected anal sex could lead to the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). To minimize the risk of STI transmission, you should wear a condom during anal sex. You should also pay attention to the type of lubricant to use, as oil-based lubricants can damage latex condoms. We recommend using water-based lubricants as they are safe to use with condoms.
Takeaway
Yes, there are plenty of gay sex positions to try and enjoy out there, but you should always have to practice safe sex whenever you do it.
Remember to establish good communication with your partner and always get tested to ensure you have a safe and fun, sensual time together. We hope this article has helped you learn new ways to have fun with your boo, and again, always practice safe sex!
