How to fuck well : the 90 degrees positions - The Ultimate Guide to Fucking #6
This Ultimate Guide to Fucking is ultimalely fucking long, but here we are : the sixth post in this series. We’ve seen the general tips applying to literally any PIV action, the huge importance of the angle, and then several posts focused on mastering positions : guy on top (missionary and similar), from behind (doggy and similar) and girl on top (cowgirl and similar).
If I was lazy I’d stop there, but when I do something, I do it fully, and so I still have shit to say (am I ever gonna shut up ? Probably not).
This week, I’d like to talk about the “90 degrees positions”.
What the fuck is this ?
“90 degrees ? It’s pretty hot.” No, not this type of degree.
Not because Fahrenheit is a very bad way to measure temperature, although it completely is (yes I’m being very european, whatcha gonna do). But because I’m talking about angle here.
But not the same angle I was talking about before. Bear with me for a second.
Ok, so if you’re facing the girl, either in missionary or girl on top, you’re gonna have your frenulum (or the place it used to be if you’re circumcised) facing the direction of her back, or the “back” of her vagina (remember, “vagina” refers to the internal parts, the exterior is vulva).
And if you’re fuckin from behind, your frenulum is gonna face the direction of her belly, or the “top” of her vagina.
What I’m gonna be talking about today are positions where you rotate about 90 degrees, so your frenulum is gonna face either side of her vagina. You’ll understand better after with the illustrations.
Pros and cons
First, let’s be very clear about something : this is pretty niche. 90% of your sex life if not more is gonna be variants of you on top, her on top, or from behind. And as long as you know how to do it, it’s perfectly fine.
You can have great sex doing only that. But chances are, you wanna try other things.
90 degrees positions are generally a bit harder to do. Like it’s less natural, you have to think about it a bit more. That’d be the main disadvantage, but some are actually pretty easy once you’ve tried them a couple times, so don’t let that stop you. Just know that the first few times you’re gonna have to take some time to find the right angle and all that.
But the main benefit is the sensations are slightly different. As a guy you can feel it a little bit, especially without a condom, but I suspect the difference is more sensible for women.
After all, it’d make sense : the sides of the vagina don’t differ much from the top and the back of it, whereas our dicks do. The tip is definitely not symmetrical, it’s not a cheap dildo. So they can probably feel it’s oriented differently, although they might not be so precisely aware of it.

The kneeling scissors
If you’ve ever seen lesbian porn (or Blue Is the Warmest Colour, where you can witness how much we french are not afraid to show a nipple (this movie was actually in movie theaters)), you know about the scissors.
Well basically, it’s the same idea, except you’ve got a dick to put in, so you’re a bit more limited as far as angle goes.
This version is simple : start with the girl lying on her back, legs slightly spread (but not too much). Then you straddle one of her thighs (here her right thigh), and put her other thigh over you. And then find a way to penetrate her.
This will usually involve some fine tuning of both of your pelvis positions. A pillow under her hips will usually help.
You can also take the leg that’s above your thigh, and put it straight up, if she’s flexible enough for that. Good thing is you can hold to it to fuck, but she really needs to be flexible to hold that for long without being uncomfortable.
It’s a pretty good way to start, as it’s pretty easy to do, but in my opinion it’s not a great position overall : you’ll be severely limited in how deep you can go (which can be great if you have a really big dick, but is too limiting even for just above average size), it’s not the most comfortable, and you have no other advantage.
That’s why I much prefer the next one :
