Shoulder Holster

He holds her close against his body, her weight supported completely. There is something beautifully protective about this position — strength meeting surrender.

How to Do the Shoulder Holster Position

She lies on her back near the edge of the bed with her legs raised and resting over his shoulders as he kneels or stands facing her. He holds her hips or thighs for support and to control depth, while her shoulders and upper back remain supported by the bed. This position naturally creates a deep angle, so start slow and check in about comfort. Small adjustments — raising or lowering her hips with a pillow — can fine-tune the angle.

Tips & Variations

Place a pillow under her lower back or hips to raise her hips slightly and reduce strain on her neck and shoulders. Because this position allows deep penetration, go slowly at first and increase intensity gradually based on feedback. Her hands are free to touch herself or guide his movements.

Who Is This Position Best For?
