Prone Bone Sex Position: An Illustrated Guide to Doing It Right
Here’s everything to know about the prone bone sex position, a variation on doggy style that you might just like even better.
If you like doggy style, you’re going to LOVE the prone bone sex position.

The bottom (the person being penetrated) lies flat on their stomach. The top should saddle up behind their partner with their knees bent and enter from behind. It looks like this:
@alliefolinoProne Bone Sex Position Note that entering someone in the prone bone position might be a little tougher than entering in doggy style. When the body is lying flat, our holes aren’t as accessible as they are in more elevated positions. “Of course, there’s a simple solution for this: raise your hips during insertion,” says Bobby Box, a sex educator at b-Vibe. If that doesn’t work, you can start in traditional doggy style: once the top’s penis or strap-on is entirely inside the bottom, the top can lay their weight on their partner, pushing them flat down while still inside of them. Voilà: you’re now in the prone bone position!
What are the benefits of the prone bone sex position?
For such a simple pose (or perhaps because it’s a simple pose), there are quite a few benefits to the prone bone sex position.
It’s ideal for G-spot stimulation.
If you’re having vaginal sex, the angle of the receiver’s body will help their partner hit that feel-good spot on the front wall of their vagina, explains Dr. Lee Phillips, a psychotherapist and certified sex and couple’s therapist. “Vulva owners have reported the position is excellent for internal orgasms because the penis can penetrate greater depth in the vagina,” Phillips says.
It offers deep penetration for people with a small penis.
If you’re working with a smaller-than-average penis, you want to make the most of what you’ve got—which is why positions that allow for deep penetration are your friend. If your partner’s booty is on the bigger side, you may have to hold your partner’s butt cheeks apart to penetrate deeply.
You don’t have to go very deep to stimulate the G-spot (or P-spot, if you’re having anal sex), so a small penis may actually work to your advantage in this position, says Gigi Engle, a certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and resident intimacy expert at dating app, 3Fun. Conversely, if you have a big penis, you gotta be careful wielding that bad boy in this position. If it feels too deep, the bottom can adjust their body to limit the top’s depth.
“To create more space, spread your legs wider or arch your back and lift your bum," Box says. “For a tighter squeeze, bring the legs together.”
It makes using a strap-on easier.
If you’re using a strap-on dildo, the prone bone positions makes it easy to tell when the dildo slips out—because you can see it. (That’s one challenge with strap-ons, as great as they are: since the top isn’t physically connected to the penis, they can’t feel when it slips out, and they might end up missing their target—or worse, hurting the bottom.)
It allows for psychological Dom/sub play.
Box, Phillips, and Engle all noted that the prone bone position lends itself to consensual dominance/submission exploration. The top can control the depth, speed, and strength of penetration. They can hold the bottom’s hands behind their back, pin them to the bed, pull their hair, or safely try breath play. Another kinky move to try in this position is the “fish hook,” where the top sticks their fingers in the bottom’s mouth.
It allows for intimacy
The prone bone position can be quite intimate, even though you’re not facing each other. The top can kiss up and down the bottom’s neck. Depending on everyone’s size, the top may also be able to turn their partner’s head to the side, look into their eyes, and kiss them. They can also whisper sweet nothings directly into their ear, like “You’re so sexy, baby,” or “I love you so much,” or “You feel fucking incredible.”
You can incorporate sex toys.
If you’re having vaginal sex, the bottom can live out their double penetration fantasies by also using an anal toy, like a butt plug. If the top is into toys, they can try wearing a cock ring in this position for additional penis stimulation.
What are the cons of the prone bone position?
You might encounter a few challenges with the prone bone position, but they’re all fixable with a little adaptation.
The top may slip out.
Depending on the receiver’s booty size and the curve/shape of the top’s penis, the top may struggle to stay inside their partner. If you keep slipping out, try reworking the angles of your bodies. The bottom can tilt their hips to angle their vagina or anus upward toward their partner. For extra help with angles, Phillips recommends using a sex pillow or wedge.

It’s not great for clitoral stimulation
Since the bottom is lying flat on the bed, it might be tough for them to stimulate their clitoris—at least, with their hand. But there is a quick fix for this: using a magic wand. “Its bulky head is pinned between your vulva and the mattress, which can give you intense clitoral stimulation while you’re being penetrated,” Engle says.
The weight may feel crushing.
Many people like feeling of their partner’s weight on their back. Others don’t. If the sensation isn’t for you, the top can try penetrating from a more perpendicular position—or, go back to good ol’ fashioned doggy style!

FAQ
What pillow is good for sex positions?

What Is a Lovers Pillow?
A lovers pillow is a pillow used for romance, comfort, or intimate support, depending on the context. In everyday use, it can mean a decorative gift pillow with love-themed designs, a long body pillow for cuddling, or a firmer support pillow made for more comfortable positioning during intimacy. People often buy a lovers pillow as a thoughtful gift for a partner, especially for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or special occasions. For example, a heart-shaped pillow can be used as bedroom decor, while a long body pillow can help couples sleep more comfortably and feel closer at night.
Infinite Pillow Uses: Travel Sleep & Pregnancy Comfort
The infinite pillow is a soft, figure‑eight cushion that can be looped and folded into many shapes; for travel it reduces neck pain by supporting the head in flights and car rides—one frequent flyer I know uses it on 6‑hour trips to avoid waking with a stiff neck, and many models measure about 20–28 inches around the loop so they’re compact enough for carry‑on bags. For sleep, the pillow works as a lightweight body or knee bolster that improves spinal alignment; a common use is tucking it between the knees (about 6–8 inches thick when folded) to reduce hip and lower‑back pressure for side sleepers, which physical therapists often recommend to ease chronic low‑back discomfort.
Sex Pillow Types: Wedges Ramps & More
Sex pillows come in different shapes, and each one changes comfort by changing body angles. The most common types are wedge pillows, ramp pillows, modular sets, positioning blocks, donut or cutout pillows, inflatable pillows, and specialty support pillows. For example, a wedge pillow lifts the hips to help reduce lower-back strain, while a ramp pillow supports the upper body during reclined positions. A wedge pillow is usually triangle-shaped and made to raise the hips or pelvis.
Best Platforms to Stand On During Sex (Comfortable & Safe Ideas)
A “platform to stand on during sex” is basically anything stable and sturdy that helps one or both partners stay upright more comfortably, like a small bench, a sex wedge, or the edge of a solid bed. It’s mainly about fixing height differences, getting better angles, and taking pressure off your back or knees so you can focus more on pleasure instead of balance or strain. Some people use sex wedges and ramps, which are firm foam blocks with angles that lift the hips or torso so a standing partner can line up more easily without tiptoeing or hunching over.
