You and your partner are both consumed by desire. You’re in a perfect time and place to try the bear hug sex position. If you’re the giver, let your partner face the wall for weight support. Though your hug would usually be enough during the first few minutes. 

Make them slightly lean forward to make an opening for grinding or penetration. Wrap your arms tightly around your partner. Around their tummy or waist. Press your bodies against each other. If your partner wants to reciprocate the hug you’re giving, they can also wrap an arm around your neck. 

Try to do some grinding before or after penetration. Whether it’s anal or vaginal, don’t let your partner get out of your gripping hug for too long. Your partner can turn their head to give you some kisses while doing the act. Or if you need some short breaks in between.

How can you make the action more exciting? Bring some toys in the bed, table or whatnot. The bear hug can bring out your playful side. So why not add sexy toys into the mix. Where to get them?

Bear Hug Position Pro Tips

  • Be mindful of your center of gravity. Stay close to a wall or any surface that can support your bodies’ weight if you're doing the standing version. Breathe. Let you and your partner’s breaths and moans sync up. Find a rhythm you’re both comfortable with.
  • Since proximity is not a concern for you at all. Whisper sweet nothings, talk dirty. The intimate nature of the bear hug allows you to communicate closely. Let your hands travel to your partner’s sensitive spots before going back to hugging them.
  • Start with slow thrusts or do firm grinding. Whatever motion is happening, keep going. If you need to take breaks, use the breaks wisely with kisses and touching. Don’t be a bear that just hugs passively.
  • Bring some toys into your adult version of a playpen. Your passionate, very intimate hug can enhance the sensations even more when toys are present. Be creative and feel free to experiment! And if you’re looking for toys…
