20 Exciting Gay Sex Positions You Should Try Tonight

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 “15 Gay Sex Positions for Exciting Bedroom Fun”, 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 sex positions but we will also answer common questions about gay sex. Perhaps you may have looming queries in your mind but are too afraid to ask. We will dive into those concerns and more down below.

What are the Different Gay Sexual Practices?

Before proceeding with the best gay sex 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.

Best Gay Sex Positions

Whether you’re gay or straight, if you’re new to anal sex or you just want something new to explore.We have listed below 15 different gay sex positions for you and your boo.

1 Pirate’s Bounty

It may sound too fancy, but it’s less complicated than it actually is. To perform pirate’s bounty, the bottom must lie down on his back. Put one leg down, and the other one is up in the air. The top kneels, facing the bottom, puts the bottom’s elevated leg on his shoulder and enters him. This position allows for better thrusting and, thus, a deep penetration. Try stretching your hips before doing this to ease your muscles. And if the bottom is flexible enough, the top can push the elevated leg all the way towards the bottom’s head.

2 Suspended Congress

This gay sex position is great for those who want to get some good cardio during sensual plays. To try Suspended Congress, the top must stand and pick up the bottom. The bottom then wraps his arms around the neck of the top for support.

While suspended on air, this sex position is where the top will enter the bottom. The top will hold the bottom’s thighs for additional support for the thrusting. To make the execution easier and if the top can’t carry the whole weight of the bottom, try to put the bottom’s back against a wall or other solid structure. This is the perfect position for couples who have good endurance and stamina.

3 Arch

This position is not for bottoms who beginners in anal sex so be warned. The arch is a sex position for experienced gay couples who want to take their bedroom play to the next level.

To do the arch position, bottoms must lie on their backs, face up then lift their hips upward. Only the hips must move upward. The feet and the back of his neck must remain planted on the bed. The top will then kneel facing the bottom then enter him by thrusting his pelvis underneath the bottom’s raised hips. The arch requires great back flexibility for the bottom. That’s why it’s not recommended for beginners. If done incorrectly, the back of the bottom might get hurt or injured. That’s why be sure that before you try this, you practice your back muscles first if you’re ready. If you are, the angle of penetration that this position provides is more intense and stimulating for both tops and bottoms.

4 The Bodyguard

If lying down bores you already, you can try a standing position like The Bodyguard. Standing positions allow both tops and bottoms to feel a range of motion compared to the traditional horizontal positions.

You can move together, or one of you can remain still while the other thrusts and establishes the rhythm. The Bodyguard is one of the most classic standing position. In this position, the bottom faces away from the top, and the top enters from behind. The bottom can then hold onto any sturdy wall or table or pillar. This allows the top to remain focused on the thrusting, and the bottom can just feel the penetration more intensely. The Bodyguard can be tried even in small spaces or even in the outdoors. That’s why this is great for couples who wanna be adventurous and take their sex beyond the four walls of the bedroom.

5 Bumper Cars

As fun and kiddie-like as it sounds, this gay sex position is for more advanced couples. This one is for more active and flexible couples because it requires not just physical strength or flexibility, but coordination to be able to execute this properly.

To do Bumper Cars, the top and the bottom are on all fours facing away from each other. Like the doggy style but reverse position. The bottom’s position is the same, but the top is penetrating from the other way around. This is difficult because the top can’t see or control their thrusting as much as the traditional doggy style. This is where coordination would be at work and is needed. Despite the difficulty, it comes with high rewards because this position can really be exciting and erotic. It is a new way for both partners to spice up their sex play.

6 The Diver

If you’re both confident with your upper and lower body strength, Cliff Diver might be something you wanna go for. As what its name suggests, this gay position is a chance for tops to dive inside your partner like never before. Just don’t thrust too hard or the bottom might end up with a broken nose.

To try this position, the cliff diver starts like the typical doggy style. The bottom gets on all fours, the top then enters from behind. The top will then slowly stand and in the process, lift the bottom by the thighs or waist, and the bottom will now wrap his legs around the top. The bottom will look like he’s doing a plank while the top is holding him. Once the position is complete, the thrusting will begin. This position requires lower body strength for the top and upper body strength for the bottom. We recommend elbow pads for the bottoms to prevent bruises or scratches from all the heavy thrusting of the top.

7 Bottom Power Up

This position allows the bottom to be much more dynamic.

Bottoms, this is your time to shine. This position requires the top to sit in the chair and bring his knees up to his chest. His penis will then be exposed outward and forward. The bottom will then back into the position, allowing the penis to enter him. Once inserted, the bottom will do the work by using the top’s penis to thrust inside him until a rhythm is established.

8 Knees and B’s

This is for the those who are well-experienced with intense backdoor play.

If you do yoga, this is one of the gay sex positions that you will like. It’s like a reverse of a child’s pose. The bottom will lay down on the floor or bed. Then, the top will grasp the bottom’s ankles, calves or knees, (whatever is comfortable), and then the top will push his legs towards the bottom’s chest. The top will then insert his penis to the bottom. The more the legs get pushed back, the tighter the backside feels.

9 The Rocking Chair

This position may seem easy but it’s much trickier. It’s even one of the most intense gay positions.

To do this position, the top will lie back and pull his knees to the chest. The bottom will sit backward between the top’s legs and insert the top’s penis himself. Once settled comfortably into position, the bottom will be the one who will establish the motion and pick a rhythm, rocking back and forth according to his preference. Make sure to check in on each other while doing this, or let your partner know if you feel discomfort because this position can get quite intense.

10 Ride the Camel

If you like eye contact while having sex, try this gay sex position. This allows for deep penetration while being face-to-face with your partner.

To do this gay sex position, the top must kneel and straddle the left leg of the bottom. The bottom must be lying on his left side. He will then bend his right leg around the right side of the waist of the top. This will give the top access to the bottom’s “port of entry,” aka, the butthole. Rear entry hurts some people (don’t forget the lube!) This position will allow the bottom to just sit comfortably while enjoying deep penetration. Make sure to do intense eye contact in this position as this makes the sex hotter.

11 The Waterfall

This gay sex position requires the top to be physically strong, as this is kind of a workout.

You would also need a  sturdy and comfy bed for this type of gay sex position. The top will lie on the ground and will prop their calves up on the bed.  The bottom will then straddle the top’s legs and insert the penis into the bottom’s anus. This is another tricky position too so be honest with your partner about what you feel while doing this. And once the position is complete, either top or bottom can start the party of passion and pleasure. 

12 Nip and Tongue

This is for the couples who love getting and receiving some tongue action down there or getting your nipples played with. This is a gay sex position that gives an opportunity for equal play. One partner will lie flat on their back, and the other one will squat and hover above their partner’s face, facing nipples and penis. While balancing, your partner reaches for your nipples in each hand while simultaneously lowering himself into his partner’s mouth.

Another variation of this gay sex position to try for those with weak legs is to rest on your knees on either side of your partner’s head then perform cunnilingus, analingus, or both.

13 Superman

This is one of the gay sex positions that are more playful for those with good endurance. To do Superman, the top kneels on a bed and tries to keep his body as straight as possible (even if he isn’t). The bottom will then straddle the top away from him (this requires the top and the bottom to be extremely capable of balance).

When the bottom is already facing away from the top, straddled and mounted, with top’s penis inside, the bottom will lean back, allowing the top to get his wrists and balance himself. The bottom then lifts his legs and starts to fly through the air backward as the top controls the thrusting. In this gay sex position, the bottom has to find good balance with their hands so as to let the top find good rhythm. Teamwork is key in this position but you have to be honest too if you feel any pain while doing this trick.

14 The Man Chair

You can work this position on the edge of the bed or a chair with your feet on the floor. The bottom turns away from the top and sits between the top’s legs.

He can then ride the top’s dick by pressing up with his feet. The bottom will also control the angle of entry by arching his back, so bottoms need to be careful in doing this position. This gay sex position will give the bottom the driver’s seat. Choose a rhythm that works for you. The top can then reach around and stimulate the bottom’s nipples or kiss and nibble at his shoulders.

15 Rusty Trombone

This is one of the gay sex positions that shares an equal power play for both top and bottom. It’s a simple extension of the classic 69. The rusty trombone has no top or bottom. This is one of the gay sex positions wherein you have to remember that showering and cleansing the genital areas are important.

Both are necessary for equal roles and equal pleasure. One partner lies on his back on a bed or wherever he finds himself. The other partner then straddles the chest and positions his butt close to his partner’s face. From there, you can do your rim job or whatever job you like. Do it.

16Analicious

Are you looking for gay sex positions solely for rimming? You’re gonna love this one. Give your partner a sizzling treat with the Analicious position. It may be complex at first, but we promise it’ll be easier once you’ve got used to it. All you need is a sturdy dining table and chair.

The giver (the one who’ll rim) must sit backward in a chair; his legs should be placed and fixed behind the legs of the chair, while his shoulders and head lying on the tabletop. The receiver (the person getting rimmed) will climb on the tabletop, kneeling right on top of the giver’s face and facing his direction. After that, the receiver should spread his legs, and the giver must use his hands to spread out the giver’s buttcheeks. Once done, he can then start performing analingus.

17Peach Parade

For this sex position, the giver would have more access to the receiver’s anus. Still, they’ll also have a stunning and sensual view of their partner’s butt. For this one, the receiver should lie on his back first. He must raise his legs and press his thighs against his chest. The giver should then stand before his partner and gently insert his lubed-up erection into the receiver’s anus.

18Zombie

Here’s another spicy analingus position on the list! We highly recommend trying out the zombie position if the receiver has great flexibility. First, the giver must sit with his legs slightly driven apart. The receiver will then stand up, facing the same direction as their partner, and their butt right up the giver’s face. After that, the receiver must fully lean forward until his anus is more easily accessed by the giver. The giver can then start performing analingus to their partner.

19Joystick

For the experienced ones who are looking for complex gay sex positions, you’ve got to check this one out. For this one, the receiver must lie on his side, with his palm just right under his head, while the other hand is on his hair. His legs should be driven apart and slightly bent. After that, the giver should then place himself between the receiver’s legs, with his penis right in front of his partner’s anus. Once positioned, he can start gently pushing his cock into his bum.

20Victory

Looking for standing gay sex positions? We gotchu. Feel victorious with the Victory position. This is a bit tricky and is usually done in the doorway.

First, the receiver must stand with his back to the doorway. His legs must be spread apart and slightly bent. The giver should stand between the receiver’s legs, with his back on the other doorway, leaning his back on the wall. Once positioned, the receiver must place his leg over the giver’s shoulder. He will then hold his hand on the receiver’s hip, and they’ll either start a frotting session, or he’ll anally penetrate his partner.

Gay Sex Tips to Make Playtime Fun and Safe

You may think you already know all there is to gay sex, but there is always more to be learned! Knowing new gay sex positions is just not enough.Here are some more basic sex tips for those who want to upgrade their game and make it safe in bed!

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.

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.

If you haven’t tried using a cock ring, you’re missing out. Using a vibrating cock ring can make the man on top feel good, helping him reach a full-body climax. Plus, it also 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’s the best position for anal?

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 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?

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can spread through oral sex. Although it is not common, HIV is sometimes spread through oral sex as well. 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!
