How to Do the Captain Sex Position and Tips to Make It Great

There is no sex position that's perfect for everyone—bodies, people, and preferences are all different, all the time. But the captain sex position comes pretty damn close. It's a rare kind of penetrative sex position where the receiver's hands are completely free for whatever stimulation they desire, and there's actually space between your bodies for it. Not just a little room to wedge a hand or toy between you. Ample! Space! The captain is an ancient Kama Sutra classic where the receiver lies on their back with their legs up in a V shape. The giver kneels between their partner's legs to enter while holding onto the receiver's ankles. The angle of penetration allows for deep sensations and stimulation of the g-area or deeper a-spot, says certified somatic intimacy coach Orla Maguire, founder of Lubify. You could use it for hard and fast pounding (the captain is here to serve your needs), but it also works really well for slow, connected sex. 'With open eye contact and upright posture, it can create a heightened sense of attunement and intimacy,' says Maguire. 'The giving partner controls rhythm and depth, offering the chance to move slowly, intentionally, and in sync with their partner's breath. It's a position that invites surrender from one partner and presence from the other—a meeting of dominance and trust,' she says. If the captain doesn't work for you, that's totally fine—try another variation! Whether you end up doing the OG captain or an improvised version doesn't matter. 'Great sex isn't about performance, it's about presence,' says Maguire. 'When you soften into sensation and listen to your body, pleasure becomes a pathway to deeper connection with your partner, and yourself.' Below, five different ways to try the captain sex position. Ahoy!
