What is the Superman Sex Position?
If you’re not yet familiar with this marvelous sex position, then you must know that it will require the right balance, lifting, and strength–so get ready to unleash your superpowers, because things can get challenging.
The Superman, or also called as the Superhero sex position, is done using a rear entry sex position, where a penetrating partner holds the receiving partner up in the air, resembling a flying hero pose.
Receivers are mainly the ones who like to give up control, while it can be a satisfying feeling for givers to take charge, which makes this a great sex position to apply during sub-dom plays.
It can take a lot of strength to do this, so having a strong core from both partners is necessary. Other than improving the core, cardiovascular and balance exercises also makes sex much better, as stated by Anna Schaefer of Healthline.
Moreover, when doing this position for the first time, it’s best to do it on a soft surface or cushioned flooring to prevent any injuries.
How Can You Master the Superman Sex Position?
Are you ready to become a pro-level master of your own game? Before doing Superman, you need to have a better understanding of the sex position first.
Position Type: Vaginal sex, Anal sex, From behind, Rear entry, Standing
Main Stimulation: G-Spot stimulation
Auxiliary Stimulation: None
Who Takes the Initiative: It can apply to both partners
Position Description: It can feel super rewarding when you’re trying new things, even the most tricky ones. Well, you'll never know how it feels if you don’t give it a shot!
If you’re ready to do the Superman sex position, always remember that you and your partner should be up for a challenge, because this is not for the faint of heart.
To do this position successfully, first, the receiving partner can lie down on a bed or couch, in a prone position with legs apart, to get themselves ready. Next, the giving partner can position themselves in between the receiving partner’s legs, while slightly bending their knees to get comfy.
Then, the giving partner can give the receiving partner a lift, by holding their waist and lifting their body. The receiving partner will also remain in a horizontal position. Afterward, they can bend their legs to secure themselves by holding onto the giving partner’s back.
The receiving partner can put both of their hands on their partner’s knees for extra support, or let their partner hold their wrists, if they prefer something rougher.
Techniques to Master the Superman Sex Position
- Prepare and Use Foreplay - If you want to build anticipation, foreplay is your good, old friend. Tease your partner by touching, kissing, and massaging to make the penetration easier and prevent hurting them.
- The Right Positioning - You can always experiment by finding the right angles before fully sliding in. By using the right angle, it makes sure that both of the couple’s comfort are always being put into consideration.
- Communicate With Them - Remember to continually check in with each other, so you can stop if one feels uncomfortable or experiencing any resistance. It’s best to tell your partner about the things that pleases you the most. Please don’t forget to ask for their consent and talk about boundaries–to keep things chill.
- Experiment - Like with any sex position, you’re not limited to doing one angle. You can always try different kinds of positioning to guarantee that you and your partner will enjoy the moment.
- Use Pillows or Support - Try to build a safe space by using pillows or soft cushions to provide some extra comfort and stability. It doesn’t only reduce the feeling of physical strain, but also offer you both some protection against a bad fall.
What are the Benefits When Doing the Superman Sex Position?
Do you know that incorporating this position during sex can have some benefits? Some of these are the following:
It Gives a Much Deeper Penetration
The deep penetration the Superman sex position provides to partners can highly increase the sexual satisfaction between them.
It Stimulates the G-Spot
Like any rear entry positions, the Superman sex position helps the giving partner stimulate the G-spot better, while using the help of some gravitational pressure. Because of the continued stimulation, it’s possible for couples to have multiple orgasms for a greater sexual pleasure.
Provides a Great View
Looking at your partner's exposed buttocks is likely enough to arouse you sexually. This explicit view can improve the visual appeal and arousal of giving partners during the activity.
A Good Cardio
Since this position requires more strength than usual, it’s perfect to do if you want to burn calories and increase your heartbeat–something you can also get by doing moderate exercises.
Gives You a Better Sleep
Your body releases a list of hormones after sex, especially if it was a rigorous one. One is called Prolactin–a hormone that helps regulate sleep and gives you the drowsy feeling after sex, according to Nicole Schmidt of WebMD.
This hormone not only makes you sleep a bit faster than usual, but it also supports a more restful shut eye to help you sleep like a baby.
Some Protips to Help You Rock the Superman Sex Position
Now that you already have an idea about doing the Superman sex position more safely and effectively, you can apply these protips on your next sessions for a more satisfying experience.
- Start Supported - If you’re still a beginner for this one, it’s best to use a table, bed, or door frame to help the receiving partner maintain their position and reduce the feeling of strain.
- Use Plenty of Lube - Lubrication can help lower the occurrence of any difficulty when penetrating your partner, and also reduce the friction to prevent the involved part of the skin from chafing. You can choose a water-based or non-greasy product that’s also hypoallergenic, so you can use it for longer hours.
- Start Using a Slower Pace - Try to start at a comfortable speed to help you get familiar with the sensation. Doing sex at a gradual pace also helps build anticipation to keep the boredom away.
- Lean Back Slightly - This may sound simple, but doing this can help you change the center of gravity to help make things feel much easier.
- Always Focus on Safety - Never go beyond your limits, and once the giving or lifting partner gets tired, they should better lower the receiving partner to a bed or cushioned floor before continuing.
- Combine It with Other Positions - You can treat Superman as mid-sex move to give you more excitement. For more comfort, try to switch to positions like missionary or doggy style if you want to achieve an orgasm in a more secure way.
- Use Toys to Enhance the Experience - To give you and your partner more stimulation while maintaining this dynamic pose of yours, you can incorporate cock rings or bondage kit during your play. Choose toys that won't obstruct your movement, and avoid the bulky ones that can affect your stability and balance.

FAQs
What if the giving partner doesn’t feel strong enough to do this?
It’s best to avoid the position for now. You can opt for doggy position or standing style if you still want a rear entry position.
Can the Superman sex position work during anal sex?
Yes, but you should give lubrication a priority and enter your partner at a slow pace. Since the angle allows deep penetration, you can damage the delicate anal tissues if you do it forcefully.
Will the Superman sex position work for plus-sized couples?
Yes, it can work, but prioritize your safety first. If you’re the receiver, you can use a sturdy surface like your bed’s headboard for support. For givers, use your leg strength when lifting and not your arms to reduce strain on both partners.
What if the receiving partner got a leg cramp?
Stop the activity immediately and stretch the area. Cramps usually happen because of prolonged tension in the muscles. You can massage the calves and switch to a seated position for now, like the cowgirl position.
