Anal masturbation is for anyone who has an anus, and that is most of us. Anal play and anal orgasms can be very pleasurable, and they are not limited to any particular gender or orientation.

All of the anal masturbation positions in this guide, with the obvious exception of double penetration, can be used by all bodies. People with prostates can often experience intense pleasure and orgasms from anal masturbation, and people with G-spots and A-spots can stimulate them indirectly from the rear.

We will write these up front, but they apply to all the entries:

  • Lube is your friend when it comes to anal play. Water-based lube is the gold standard and is safe to use with all sex toys, but it can dry out quickly so you should be prepared to reapply as needed. Oil-based lubes (or body-safe food-grade oils) are longer-lasting but cannot be used with certain sex toys, so check the user manual. Silicone lubes are delightfully slippery but are not compatible with silicone sex toys.
  • It is fine (often much better than fine!) to use sex toys for anal masturbation, but they need to be fit for purpose. This means a flared or wide base for safety: you do not want to get your toy stuck back there, and this can happen unexpectedly when orgasm contractions hit. The toy should be made of body-friendly, non-porous, waterproof material (we recommend silicone, stainless steel, or borosilicate glass) so that it can be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each use.

1. Missionary

Missionary is a tried-and-true, comfortable, and familiar position for many folks, so it’s a good place to start. You will be able to explore the rest of your body too, which is another advantage!

What We’re Doing

  1. Lie on your back with your legs spread and knees slightly bent. You can put a firm pillow under your hips to adjust the angle and open up your rectum.
  2. Apply lube to your body, your toy, and your fingers.
  3. Reach your hand under your bottom so that you can touch your anus, and start by stimulating it gently. Then insert your finger or your anal sex toy.

2. Doggy-Style

Doggy-style is great for anal masturbation because this position really opens up your hips and your anus. You can achieve very deep penetration and intense sensations, and you can also easily adjust the depth and angle of penetration by moving your body.

People with penises are in a great position to stroke the penis as well.

What We’re Doing

  1. Start out on your hands and knees. You can rest on your forearms like a half-plank position and/or put a firm pillow under your hips for support. This can also help folks with G-spots to reach them.
  2. Apply lube to your body, your toy, and your fingers. Reach back and stimulate your anus with your finger before inserting your finger more deeply or inserting an anal sex toy.

3. Spooning Position

This popular sex position isn’t exactly spooning when there’s only one spoon in the drawer, but it’s the same idea of being cozy and comfortable. It opens up your anus for easy entry, and it’s great for lazy bedtime sex with yourself. You also have easy access to stimulate your genitals.

Spooning Anal Masturbation Position

What We’re Doing

  1. Lie on your side with your legs together and slightly curved; you will be in kind of a half-moon position.
  2. To open up even further if you want, lift your top leg and bend it over your other knee.
  3. Apply lube to your body, your toy, and your fingers. Reach back and stimulate your anus with your finger before inserting your finger more deeply or inserting an anal sex toy.

4. Double Penetration

This obviously requires two sex toys, and please be sure that the back-door toy stays in the back door. You should never use a toy (or anything else) in your vagina that has been in your anus; that risks infection.

Double Penetration With Two Dildos

If you stimulate your clitoris as well as your anus and vagina, you may be able to achieve the elusive tri-gasm.

What We’re Doing

  1. Wishbone: lie on your side with your legs at a 90-degree angle. Raise your hips (you can also use a firm pillow) and arch your back. Start stimulating your anus with a lubed finger, and then insert your finger more deeply or insert an anal toy. Insert another toy in your vagina.
  2. Cowgirl: start on your knees with your legs spread. Start stimulating your anus with a lubed finger, and then insert your finger more deeply or insert an anal toy. Insert another toy in your vagina.
  3. Missionary: lie on your back with your legs spread and your knees bent. If you can and you want to, lift your legs towards your shoulders. You can also use a firm pillow under your hips for support and a better angle. Start stimulating your anus with a lubed finger, and then insert your finger more deeply or insert an anal toy. Insert another toy in your vagina.

5. Prone (Face-Down)

This is a very comfortable anal masturbation position and it is pleasantly low-effort. Not all play sessions need to be athletic or acrobatic. Some days you just want to relax and feel good, and this is one way to do that!

Prone Anal Masturbation Position

What We’re Doing

  1. Lie face-down on the bed (make sure that you have breathing room). Spread your legs into a wide V. You can put a firm pillow under your hips to open up your anus.
  2. Apply lube to your body, your toy, and your fingers. Reach back and stimulate your anus with your finger before inserting your finger more deeply or inserting an anal sex toy.

6. Suction Cup Squatting

This position feels the most like partnered anal sex, except here you as the receiver have complete control over the depth and pace of penetration (nice!). You will need either a dildo with a suction cup base and a suitable surface to mount it, or a sex toy mount to hold your dildo.

Suction Cup Dildo Squatting Position

What We’re Doing

  1. Make sure that your dildo is anchored securely.
  2. Squat over your dildo. You can spread your legs, keep your back straight, and bend your knees. Alternatively, you can spread your legs, bend your knees, and place your hands on the floor.
  3. Apply lube to your body, your toy, and your fingers. Reach back and stimulate your anus with your finger.
  4. Align your body with the dildo and carefully lower yourself onto it.

You can also suction-cup your dildo to the shower wall and back yourself up to it.

7. Standing Doggy

We wrote earlier that doggy-style is ideal for anal masturbation (or anal sex) and that goes for standing doggy as well! You get some support for your upper body and the same deep penetration as you do with hands-and-knees doggy.

Standing Doggy Anal Masturbation Position

What We’re Doing

  1. Stand with your legs slightly spread. Bend forward slightly and lean your upper body against a wall. You can also bend all the way over a sturdy table or counter instead of leaning against it.
  2. Apply lube to your body, your toy, and your fingers. Reach back and stimulate your anus with your finger before inserting your finger more deeply or inserting an anal sex toy.
