The eagle sex position, also known as the spread eagle position, is a versatile two-person position suitable for sexual penetration, manual stimulation, or oral sex.
What is the eagle sex position?
The eagle sex position is a significant variation of the missionary position, with the receiver’s legs spread wide in the air rather than flat on the bed.
In this position, the person on top generally does most of the work, while the person on the bottom remains in a position that allows for easy access and deep penetration.
What makes the eagle sex position so great?
Access to the vaginal inner wall
This position benefits both partners. The top partner has easy access to their partner’s vulva, while the bottom partner can use their hands to stimulate the top partner.
Additionally, this position allows for deeper penetration, enabling the top partner to ‘dip deeper’ into the vagina.

Deeper penetration
The eagle position facilitates deep penetration, making it ideal for a penetrating partner with a penis and a receiving partner with a vagina.
The angle of penetration in this position increases pleasure by allowing the receiving partner to experience more intense stimulation.
To enhance sensation, ensure that your partner’s penis presses against the upper wall of your vagina. Deep penetration with firm, rhythmic stimulation is possible in this position.
If you’re on the bottom, you don’t have to remain still like a mannequin; you can regain control by slightly bending your knees and moving your hips. This alters internal stimulation and offers an excellent opportunity to achieve optimal clitoral contact.

How to get maximum pleasure in the eagle sex position
- Don’t just thrust: The partner on top can use a grinding or rocking motion to increase friction, which is especially important when using the CAT approach.
- Use the Coital Alignment Technique (CAT): Placing a pillow or sex wedge under your partner’s buttocks can increase the likelihood of orgasm.
This technique is particularly beneficial for the 36.6% of women who require clitoral stimulation during penetrative intercourse.
3. Use lubricant: Lubricant enhances sex, no matter the position, including the eagle, by reducing friction and preventing vaginal tears or condom breakage. It can also be applied to the external genitals to alleviate discomfort.
Ultimately, many sex therapists agree that this sex position will improve your sex life greatly.
