Screw Sex Position: How to Do It and Get Insane Depth

Think missionary is boring? Cross your ankles next time he’s on top and watch his whole body react. The screw sex position turns a standard lay‑back‑and‑take‑it into deep, angled penetration that targets your G‑spot and A‑spot without you needing to do a single leg‑behind‑the‑head pose. I’ll walk you through the setup, how you steer the depth and angle from the bottom, what he does on top, and the variations that keep your hips happy even when you’re tired or carrying extra weight. By the time you’re done reading, you’ll be ready to cross your ankles and get exactly the kind of fuck you’ve been craving.

The Screw at a Glance: Why It’s Worth Climbing on Top

The screw is a face‑to‑face position where you lie on your back, lift both legs, and cross your ankles. Your man kneels or stands between your thighs and enters you from the front. That crossed‑leg shape narrows your vaginal canal and tilts your pelvis, so every thrust drives deeper and angles the head of his cock right where you want it. No pretzel flexibility, no CrossFit thighs.

This is the position you reach for when you and your man want deep pressure and eye contact without a complicated setup.

How to Get Into It Without a Single Acrobatic Move

You’re in control from the moment your back hits the mattress. The setup takes seconds.

If you need more support, stack a second pillow under your head. You’re doing zero straining here.

• He holds your crossed thighs gently for stability and guides himself in. Once he’s inside you, you both find a rhythm that lets you adjust on the fly.

1. 01

   Plant your hips right at the edge of the bed

   Slide a firm pillow under your tailbone, which tilts your pelvis up and clears the way for his cock to aim where you want it.

2. 02

   Lift both legs, bend your knees a touch, and cross your ankles

   You can keep your feet in the air or hook them loosely.

3. 03

   Your man positions himself between your thighs

   He can kneel on the mattress or stand with his knees against the bed frame, whatever lets him line up easily.

You’re Steering This: Here’s How to Change Depth and Angle Anytime

Your body is the remote control. Start by crossing your ankles as tight as you can. That scissor action narrows your vaginal canal, giving you extra grip and friction. Both of you will feel it from the first stroke.

If you want his cock grinding your G‑spot, tilt your pelvis up like you’re pressing your lower back into the pillow. If you’d rather feel pressure deeper, near your A‑spot, tilt your pelvis the opposite way, since just a tiny forward shift changes the angle completely.

Need more clit action? Grab a wand vibrator and hold it right where you need it while he thrusts. The mix of deep internal pressure and buzzing on your clitoris makes you come so hard your legs shake. When you crave skin‑to‑skin contact and want to pull him deeper, hook your legs around his waist instead of crossing them. That opens your hips and lets him sink in further.

And while you’re at it, use your voice. “Slower,” “right there,” “shallower now” are not suggestions. They’re instructions. He’ll follow if you say them like you mean it. Steady yourself by gripping his arms, his waist, or even the edge of the bed, and use those hand signals to guide his speed or tell him when to pause. You can switch between these moves mid‑thrust without breaking your rhythm, so don’t be shy about adjusting the second you want something different.

The Thrust Moves That Make His Cock Hit Right Where You Want It

He’s not just a piston. Once he’s inside you, he needs to angle his hips to match where you want the pressure. Here’s how you tell him what to do.

When he kneels upright, his pelvis tilts down slightly, and his penis slides in at an angle that grinds your G‑spot. He can hold your crossed thighs or the backs of your knees for leverage. If that’s not quite hitting your spot, tell him “angle your hips more toward the ceiling,” and he’ll tilt his own hips upward so the head of his dick presses your front vaginal wall with every stroke.

If you’re craving teasing, shallower thrusts, ask him to uncross your ankles and spread your knees wide. That opens your vulva and shortens the depth of his strokes, leaving your clitoris fully accessible for a vibe or fingers.

When you want full‑body contact and face‑to‑face kissing, he can lean forward, bracing his hands on either side of your shoulders so his weight doesn’t crush you. His pubic bone grinds against your clit naturally. And the instant you whisper “slower and deeper” or “grind right there,” he needs to listen like you just handed him the cheat codes.

Variations That Work With Your Body Right Now (No Matter Your Size or Energy)

Your body isn’t a one‑size‑fits‑all thing, so why should the screw be? Here are the tweaks that keep it comfortable when you have a belly, tight hips, or just zero energy.

Check in with yourself before you pick a variation. If your hips feel tight or you’re exhausted, go for One‑Leg‑Down or Side‑Lying. Your comfort always comes first.

1. 01

   Pillow‑Stacked Screw

   Stack two or three pillows under your hips and shoulders so your pelvis lifts high. This tilts you even more and gives him a completely clear entry angle. One reader with an F‑cup chest and a soft belly once told me she used three pillows stacked like a throne, and it was the first time she didn’t worry about crushing her stomach and could relax completely. I used to think pillows were optional, until a guy I was seeing with a soft belly couldn’t get the right angle without them. Three pillows later, I was a convert. If you’re plus‑size or carry weight in your midsection, this is your move.

2. 02

   One‑Leg‑Down Screw

   When crossing both ankles makes your hips scream, keep one foot planted on the bed and cross only the other ankle over that thigh. You’ll still get the tightening effect on one side without stressing your hip flexors.

3. 03

   Side‑Lying Screw

   Both of you lie on your sides, facing each other. You cross your top leg over his hip while he enters from the front. This is a lifesaver during pregnancy and postpartum: zero weight on your belly, and you control depth with your top leg.

4. 04

   Standing Edge Screw

   You lie on the bed’s edge with legs crossed and he stands on the floor. This is a quickie’s best friend: no mattress gymnastics, just deep, fast access. Still room for your wand on your clit.

5. 05

   Mutual‑Touch Screw

   He leans forward enough so you can both reach each other’s junk. Stroke the base of his cock, rub his balls, or hold your vibrator against your clit. He can use his fingers on your clitoris too. Suddenly the screw is a full‑contact playground.

Screw Snags: When Something Feels Off, Fix It Now

Pain is a signal, not a challenge. Here’s what to do the second something stops feeling good.

Hips hate the cross? Uncross one leg and plant that foot on the bed, because the one‑leg‑down variation saves the day without wrecking the depth.

Leg cramp mid‑thrust. Stretch your quads and hamstrings before you start. If a cramp still hits, straighten both legs immediately and switch to an uncrossed position until it passes.

Slipping off the bed. Put a non‑slip yoga mat under your hips, or have him stand with his feet planted wide so the mattress edge doesn’t shift.

Shallow penetration that leaves you wanting more. Add another pillow under your hips. If that’s not enough, he can slide his hands under your ass and lift your pelvis, which gives him a deeper angle. I used to think deeper was always better until a partner with a tilted cervix taught me that shallow grinding can be the only way she orgasms. Now I never assume.

Thighs trembling from holding your legs up. He needs to support the weight of your legs with his hands on your thighs or the backs of your knees. Don’t let him leave you shaking and straining.

He’s going too deep and it hurts. Switch from long strokes to shallow grinding. Have him keep the head of his cock inside you and rock his hips instead of pulling all the way out. You control the depth by pressing your hips back if you need less.

Beyond the Screw: Positions That Take That Tilt Further

Once you’ve nailed the screw, these four positions use that same pelvic tilt and crossed‑leg secret.

• Corkscrew: Turn your torso slightly to one side while keeping your legs crossed; that twist adds targeted G‑spot friction.
• Sideways Straddle: You sit sideways across his lap on a chair, giving you full control over speed and depth.
• The Butterfly: Lie on your back at the bed’s edge with your legs resting over his shoulders, for maximum clitoral access.
• The Viennese Oyster: Pull your knees to your chest with ankles crossed, and he leans over you for intense face‑to‑face grinding.

Screw Questions, No Bullshit Answers

1. 01

   What’s the hardest position to get pregnant in?

   No sex position is birth control. Sperm don’t care if your ankles are crossed. They’ll swim where they need to go. If you’re not trying to conceive, use reliable contraception.

2. 02

   What’s the most comfortable sex position for long sessions?

   With the right pillows and the Standing Edge Screw variation, many women find the screw extremely comfortable for longer sessions. Your body stays fully supported, and you can uncross your legs to rest whenever you need.

3. 03

   Is the Screw position good for plus‑size couples?

   Absolutely. Stacking pillows under your hips and shoulders lifts your pelvis into the perfect angle and takes pressure off your belly and lower back. Your man can stand or kneel, whichever gives him the best leverage. I’ve seen it work beautifully.

4. 04

   Can I orgasm from the Screw alone?

   Most women need clitoral stimulation to come, even with a cock pounding the G‑spot. Anyone who tells you the screw alone will make you squirt is selling something. Stack a wand on your clit or don’t bother racing toward orgasm, because it’s a slow‑build position, not a quickie. Hands‑free orgasms aren’t a prize; use whatever makes you come.

5. 05

   Does crossing my legs actually make sex feel tighter?

   Yes, it absolutely does. Crossing your ankles draws your pelvic floor muscles together and narrows the vaginal canal. Translation: it’s tighter, grippier, and you both feel it immediately.

6. 06

   What if my hips are really tight and crossing hurts?

   Don’t force it. Start with the one‑leg‑down variation, or do a few minutes of hip‑opening stretches before you get into bed. The screw should feel delicious, not like a yoga class you didn’t sign up for.

How to Bring It Up Tonight (And Get a Fuck Yes)

You don’t need a five‑paragraph justification to ask for deep, angled sex. Just say it.

Try this: “I saw a position called the screw. I lie on the edge of the bed with my legs crossed and you fuck me deep from the front. It looks insanely good. Want to try it later?” No “if you’re into it” hedging. He’ll be hard before you set your phone down.

If you worry about discomfort, add: “If my hips start to hurt I’ll tell you right away and we’ll switch. I just want to try it without pressure, okay?” That one line eases any worry and makes you sound confident as hell.

And in the moment, when he’s inside you: “A little slower and angle your hips more up. Yes, right there, don’t stop.” That’s not a suggestion. That’s you directing the show, and he’ll love every second of it.

No apology. No “only if you want to.” You’re asking for the kind of sex that makes your eyes roll back, and trust me, that’s the hottest thing he’ll hear all week. Now go lock those ankles and get yours.
