You don’t land on “crazy sex positions to try” because you woke up wanting a gymnastics routine. It usually starts quieter than that: the same familiar pattern, the same angles, the same end-point you can predict from the first kiss, and a little flicker of curiosity that feels half playful and half practical. You want something different, but you don’t want to turn your bedroom into a performance. You want new, not stupid or painful. New, not the kind of “wild” that ends with someone limping to the kitchen for an ice pack and pretending it was fine.
That’s what this guide is for. It’s a list built around adventurous energy and real bodies. The goal isn’t to prove anything. It’s to make trying something “crazy” feel doable: clear setups, smarter variations, and a sense of how to keep the moment hot without turning it into a safety briefing.

Some Disclaimers
Safety and consent first. Always: Anything “crazy” is only fun if both people are into it. Ask, listen, and treat “not sure” as a no. You can keep things sexy and still check in. A simple “good?” or “too much?” works. If your partner tenses, stops responding, or goes quiet in a way that feels off, pause and reset.
This is not medical advice: Bodies vary. If you’re dealing with pregnancy, pelvic pain, recent surgery, chronic back/neck issues, joint instability, or anything that makes movement feel unpredictable, skip the more demanding options and stick to variations. If you’re unsure, a health practitioner or even a pelvic floor therapist can give guidance that a blog never will.
Pain is not the price of novelty: A stretch can feel intense; sharp pain, numbness, pinching, tingling, or a “wrong” feeling is a stop sign. If a position relies on locked joints, forced flexibility, or breath-holding to make it work, it’s not a win. The best “crazy” positions feel exciting because they’re new, not because they hurt.
How to Keep It Fun – Not Painful
Use the environment like it’s part of the plan.
A bed edge, a wall, a couch back, a firm pillow under hips, a folded blanket under knees—these aren’t “cheats.” They’re how you turn an internet idea into something stable and comfortable. If you’re on a slippery surface or a chair that wobbles, you’re not being adventurous; you’re rolling dice.
Warm up like you mean it.
If you’re coming in cold—tight hips, stiff shoulders, distracted brain—start with something easy that builds heat and trust. The “crazy” part lands better when your body is already relaxed and your partner already feels in sync with you.
You don’t have to do the hardest version for it to count.
A lot of positions get a reputation because the most extreme version is what gets posted. In real life, small changes are often the whole point: a different angle, a new way to brace, a slower rhythm, a setup that shifts power and control in a way that feels fresh. If you try a modified version and it hits, you did it right.
How to use this list without killing the mood
Pick one position before you start. Just one. Agree on a simple “pause” word—something neutral like “hold” or “yellow.” Put a pillow where you might need it now, not after you’re already tangled up. Then treat the first attempt like a trial run: slow, curious, laughing if you wobble, switching if it doesn’t click. The win is the shared experiment, not forcing the pose.
Crazy Sex Position You Might Want to Try
The Full Nelson
Start with both of you on a bed or padded surface so there’s somewhere soft to “fail” onto if balance shifts. The front partner kneels or sits upright, and the back partner kneels behind them, close enough that thighs and hips can stay connected without anyone needing to pull.
Before any arm hold, get the base right: The front partner’s knees slightly wider than hips, toes relaxed, spine tall but not rigid. The partner behind places both hands on the front partner’s upper arms first, not wrists, and checks in: if shoulders already feel tight, you skip the hold and keep it as “close from behind.” If it’s comfortable, the back partner guides the front partner’s forearms upward along the sides of their head, elbows bent and soft, keeping everything loose.
- The cue is “arms float, nothing locks.”
- A safer “variation” that keeps the vibe without the strain is to have the front partner hold their own wrists above their head while the partner behind simply wraps an arm around the torso or rests hands at the hips.
- If you feel neck pressure, tingling, or any sharp shoulder pinch, you let the arms drop immediately and reset; it should feel contained, not cranked.
V Formation
Think of it as face-to-face, supported, and angled rather than acrobatic.
- One partner reclines with their shoulders and head supported (pillows or a couch back), while the other partner stays more upright between their legs.
- The reclined partner bends their knees rather than trying to hold legs straight; that’s what makes this workable for normal flexibility.
- The upright partner anchors with shins or knees on the bed for stability, keeping their weight low so they’re not hovering.
- Now build the “V”: the reclined partner’s legs open into a comfortable angle and rest against the upright partner’s ribs or shoulders, not behind the head.
Hands go to useful places: the upright partner can hold the reclined partner’s thighs near the hips to control how wide the angle stays, while the reclined partner uses hands on the other’s shoulders or arms to guide distance.
A creative add that makes it feel “wilder” without making it harder is to use a folded pillow under the reclined partner’s hips to tilt the pelvis slightly and keep everything closer with less effort. If legs start shaking or hips start sliding, you tighten the angle, bring knees in, and keep the same rhythm with a smaller range.
The Wheelbarrow
This one fails when people start too high and too fast, so set it up like a slow transition.
- Put the hands on something higher than the floor first: the edge of a bed, a sturdy bench, or even a couch seat.
- The partner being lifted plants palms shoulder-width apart, fingers spread, elbows slightly bent, and steps their feet back until their body forms a strong line from shoulders through hips.
- The lifting partner stands behind and holds at the thighs close to the hips, not down by the knees, because that’s where control is.
Start with a “partial wheelbarrow” by lifting just enough that the lifted partner’s toes still skim the ground for balance, like training wheels. Once stable, lift higher only if wrists and shoulders feel solid. The lifted partner keeps their core engaged and looks at the surface in front of their hands, not craning the neck.
A variation that makes it dramatically easier is “bed-edge wheelbarrow”: hands on the bed, chest closer to the mattress, and the lifting partner kneels instead of stands, which reduces strain and wobble.
Warning signs are obvious: wrists aching, elbows locking, or the lifted partner’s hands sliding. If any of that happens, you lower the legs immediately, reset, and switch to something that keeps the same from-behind energy without the arm load.
Froggy Style
This is compact, grounded, and easier than it sounds once you stop trying to hold a deep squat. The receiving partner gets into a low, folded position: knees bent and open, chest closer to the bed, hips slightly raised. The other partner stays behind, but instead of hovering, they kneel close so thighs and hips stay aligned and movement stays controlled. Hands go on the hips or upper thighs to keep the angle steady and to help communicate pace without words.
The key is comfort at the knees and hips, so put a pillow under the chest or a folded blanket under knees if needed. Feet can be relaxed out to the sides; you’re aiming for “stable base,” not maximum stretch.
A creative add that makes it more “crazy” without making it unsafe is changing the height: place a firm pillow under the receiving partner’s hips so the posture becomes less like a squat and more like a supported tilt. That changes sensation and control while keeping knees comfortable. I
If the receiving partner feels knee pressure or lower back compression, the fix is simple: bring knees closer together, lower the hips a little, or move to the edge of the bed so the posture doesn’t require as much folding.
Apex (chair/seat angle)
Treat “Apex” as “seated angle play” and make stability the whole point. Choose the bed edge first if you can; it’s wider, softer, and less likely to tip than a chair.
- The seated partner plants feet flat and wide for a base, sitting tall with hands ready to steady the other person at the waist.
- The other partner faces them and straddles, keeping at least one foot on the ground at first so balance is never all-or-nothing.
- The transition is slow: you lower in increments, pause, adjust, then continue. If you want it to feel adventurous, you use the angle, not speed—small shifts forward/back change everything.
You can also try a “half-seated” version where the seated partner leans back slightly onto their hands on the bed while the straddling partner keeps knees on the mattress, turning it into a supported, controlled position that’s easier on quads. If you do use a chair, it needs to be heavy, non-rolling, and against a wall.
X Position (The Crossroads)
Think of this as a “locked-in grind” rather than a workout. Face each other and interlace your legs into a gentle X—one partner drapes a leg over, the other threads theirs under—until you feel that snug, “interlaced” stability. This setup naturally keeps your hips close, allowing for smaller, more controlled shifts and intense eye contact.
Anchor yourselves by holding a waist or thigh to keep the “lock” from slipping. If it feels too much like a human knot, just scale back to a “single-leg hook” to keep the intimacy without the strain.
The Butter Churner
This one has a wild reputation, but with the right ergonomic support, it’s more about the deep angle than the acrobatics
It looks intense, but the secret is in the hip lift.
The receiving partner lies back, knees bent, with a firm wedge pillow under the hips to protect the lower back. As the top partner kneels close, they should keep their weight on their own hands and knees to avoid compressing the other person’s chest.
Crucial safety check: If the receiving partner’s chin is forced toward their chest or they feel a head rush, stop and adjust immediately. For a more relaxed version, keep the legs “up but loose” rather than folded tight. It should feel like a deep, supported tilt—not a gym class stretch.
Snow Angel
Think of this as “open access, high touch.” One partner lies back with legs relaxed—pro tip: slide pillows under the knees to save your hips. The other settles in between, leaving space for roaming hands and skin-to-skin contact. The magic is in the layering: eye contact, slow pacing, and wandering kisses.
To turn up the heat, add a sensory “self-restraint” element—try holding your own wrists above your head or using a loose scarf to shift the power dynamic without losing the comfort. If things feel tight, just narrow your stance, adjust the cushions, and keep the connection going.
