How to Do the Starting Blocks Position

She kneels on the bed with her upper body lowered onto her forearms, hips raised — like a sprinter in starting position — while he kneels behind her, holding her hips for leverage. The raised hip angle allows for deep penetration from behind, and the "ready" posture builds anticipation before movement even begins. He controls the pace, starting slow and building intensity gradually.

Tips & Variations

Who Is This Position Best For?

Couples who enjoy a slow build toward intensity, with a playful nod to anticipation. Works well for couples who like a bit of from-behind intimacy combined with a sense of "getting ready."
