Backup

She backs into him with confident intention. The approach itself becomes part of the pleasure — anticipation building with every inch closer.

How to Do the Backup Position

She stands with her back to him, leaning forward slightly and bracing her hands against a wall, counter, or headboard, while he approaches from behind, holding her hips to guide the rhythm. The "backing in" approach — she moves toward him rather than him moving toward her — is part of the appeal, building anticipation with each step closer. Once connected, he controls pace and depth with his hands on her hips.

Tips & Variations

A wall or sturdy surface for her hands provides stability and lets her push back into the movement for added control. The slow approach beforehand is worth lingering on — it sets a confident, anticipatory tone for what follows. Communication about the angle of her lean helps find the most comfortable depth.

Who Is This Position Best For?

Couples who enjoy a confident, take-charge dynamic with a from-behind connection. The approach phase makes this a great option for couples who enjoy flirtatious, playful energy.
