The Flatiron sex position is often confused with Prone Bone, and people sometimes use these names interchangeably, thinking they’re the same thing. But that’s not entirely accurate.
While these positions do look similar, there’s one key difference that makes Flatiron especially intense and pleasurable. So, let’s break it down and see why couples love this position so much.
What Is the Flatiron Position and What Does It Look Like?
Flatiron—kind of a weird name for a sex position, right? But trust me, once you get into it, the name makes total sense.
In this position, the woman lies flat on her stomach while the man gets on top of her, pressing his body closely against hers. He’s practically laying on her, moving back and forth along her body like a hot, heavy iron, heating her up with every thrust. That’s what the Flatiron sex position is all about, and here’s what it looks like:
Like I said earlier, the Flatiron position is a lot like Prone Bone. But there’s actually a third one in this little trio—Speed Bump. Together, these three positions form a little family of stomach-down, rear-entry positions. Let’s break down what makes them different.
In all of them, the woman is lying on her stomach, and the man is on top, entering from behind. But what really sets them apart is how the man positions his body—and that changes the angle of penetration and stimulation.
- Speed Bump position. The man stays more upright, focusing more pressure on the back wall of the vagina.
Sex position #21 – Speed Bump - Prone Bone position. The man leans forward, supporting himself on his hands, which shifts the angle of penetration more toward the front wall of the vagina.
Sex position #143 – Prone Bone - Flatiron Position. The man lays completely down on her, pressing his body fully against hers. This creates maximum stimulation of the front vaginal wall, where the G-spot is located.
So, what makes Flatiron sex position stand out?
- Full-body contact. The close, intimate pressure of his body on hers makes this position incredibly sensual and intimate.
- G-spot stimulation. The deep, horizontal penetration angles the tip of his cock directly against the G-spot.
How to Do the Flatiron Position
You can pull off this position anywhere with a flat surface—your bed, couch, or even the floor.
- She lies on her stomach with her legs stretched straight and pressed together.
- He kneels behind her, sitting down on the backs of her thighs and leaning forward.
- She lifts her hips slightly, allowing him to enter her.
- Once inside, he lowers his body down onto hers, resting on his forearms so their bodies are in full contact.
- He stretches his legs back, wrapping them around hers to lock in the closeness.
Tips for Man
- Don’t crush her. You might be heavier than her, so avoid pressing down with your full weight. Instead, support yourself on your elbows to keep the pressure just right.
- Hit that G-spot. To really maximize stimulation, shift your body slightly forward, closer to her head. This will reduce depth but increase precision, letting you grind right into her G-spot (Heads up—the smaller your dick is, the harder this trick might be to pull off.)
- What if you keep slipping out? This can happen if she’s got a big butt or if you have a shorter dick (or both). If it’s an issue, try:
– Increase penetration depth. To do this, you need to lift her ass higher with a pillow, raise yourself more, leaning on your straightened arms, and get between her legs. Here’s what it could look like.Sex position #316 – Low doggy – Change the rhythm of the thrusts. Don’t try to make long, sweeping thrusts in and out. Passionately slapping your hips against her ass definitely won’t work. Instead, get closer to her butt and make shorter, rocking movements.
- Add some extra stimulation. Kissing is tough in Flatiron position, but you’ve got easy access to her neck and ears. Kiss her cheek, lick her earlobe, or whisper something dirty to get her even more turned on.
Tips for Women
- Take charge of your pleasure. Since your clit won’t get any direct stimulation in this position, don’t be shy about helping yourself out. Slide a hand between your legs and use your fingers or a toy to keep the pleasure going.
- Make some noise. If you’re in a private space, let yourself breathe deeply and moan freely. Not only will this make your orgasm come faster, but it’ll also turn him on like crazy.
- Tighten up. Engage your kegel muscles to make the penetration feel tighter and more intense for both of you.
