I don’t believe it is the official name for this position, but I expect everyone reading this has an immediate image with this name; ass up and face down! But what’s so great about it and how does it help for better sex? Read on!
What is the ‘speed bump’ position?
This position is very easy to perform and yet it guarantees great sex without being particularly tiring. It also does not require any agility or fitness, so it is applicable to everyone. The position is suitable for people of different genders as well as those of the same gender.
In this position, the receiving partner lies on his/her stomach. Below his/her hip is an elevation, such as a pillow or some object, so that the buttocks stick up further. This support makes it less tiring and gives the giving partner better access to some of the nicest erogenous zones. The position is sometimes compared to ‘doggy style‘, as it allows access from behind.
The position takes its name from the elevation you use.
Why is it such a fun position?
Well, first of all, of course, because it is a position that requires little effort. This allows the receiving party in particular to relax completely. There will be no muscle or joint pain (nor scraped knees, as is sometimes the case with doggy style).
Moreover, the giving partner has access to almost all erogenous zones of the receiving partner, such as ears, neck, back, buttocks, inner thighs, perineum and of course the anus and vulva, or anus, balls and penis. The giving partner can touch, kiss, lick, caress and – when the time is right – penetrate.
Another advantage is that, as the receiving party, you are not bothered by having to keep your balance. Especially if you are quite aroused and your partner is thrusting hard, for example.
Because you have better support, it is also a very suitable position for people who suffer from back pain, for example. As with all rear positions, this one is especially suitable if you like G-spot stimulation (vulva owners) or P-spot stimulation (penis owners) because these spots are on the ‘belly side’ of the body. As with a real speed bump, this position is very suitable for taking it slower 😉.
Are there any drawbacks? And how do you overcome them?
For vulva owners, the clitoris may be a little less easy to stimulate, although it is already better with a pillow under your pelvis than lying completely flat. If you still like clitoral stimulation, the giving party can still do it with their hands. Or you can do that yourself. A vibrator can also help.
Tips for the best speed bump experience
This position is very versatile. You can pull hair, run nails across the back, bite the back and buttocks, nibble on toes, massage, stroke … To make it a nice and less tiring experience for the giving partner too, they can lie on top of the receiving party. This also gives an intimate skin-to-skin experience.
Optionally, use some extra massage oil to make it a sensual body-to-body massage.
Vary the size of the pillow. Take a stack of cushions, or a roll cushion (slumber roll). But a yoga ball is also great! Furthermore, there are several ‘love cushions‘ on the market. These are ergonomic cushions specially designed for such positions. You can also bend your partner over the banister of a chair or sofa for a similar effect.
If the receiving party likes some (soft) BDSM, it is also a perfect position for some spanking with the hands or a whip or flogger. The butt is nice and raised, making this position perfect for some spanking. You can also tie the wrists of the receiving party behind the back or to the bed. Or keep the ankles apart by tying them to the bed or to a spreader bar.
If you enjoy anal sex, this is also a perfect position. During vaginal penetration, you can easily stimulate the anus with fingers, a butt plug, a dildo or vibrator.
Two vulva owners can use a strap-on or a dildo or vibrator for penetration on their partner.
