"Sex against the wall? That seems to be our sneaky go-to position when we're staying with family and have to figure out how to have a quickie in the shower ... it's great."

Against the Wall
Sex Position

Against the Wall is a hot and dirty standing sex position that just screams that you can't even wait to get into the bedroom. To do it, make sure you are both all hot and bothered. Then, she leans back against a wall with him standing in front of her. She jumps up and wraps her legs around his waist, while he holds her up against the wall by her hips and bottom. The wall serves to support her weight.

What's good about the Against the Wall: This position is urgent and passionate; both partners get to enjoy the rush of being so turned on, and so desirable. Because he's holding her, he feels a real sense of power and strength. He can also maintain an erection for longer when he's standing up because the blood is needed elsewhere in his body, so his erection isn't as intense. Because of that, she gets to enjoy the sexual buildup ... and both partners can have explosive orgasms.

What's bad about the Against the Wall: Staying in the position is hard work. She has to use her legs to support her weight, while he holds her up by her bottom. That makes for tired arms and legs during against the wall sex.

Best for: when you're too hot and bothered to lie down.
