The Best Sex Positions for Hip Pain

You don't have to give up enjoying amazing sex because of hip pain.

Generally speaking, the hips are crucial for sexual activity. The portions we want to unite, after all, just so happen to be situated between those annoying arms that are fastened to your hips.

Hip discomfort can, therefore, be a major sex-related disturbance. It may seem impossible to engage in any sex position when the back or legs are painful when moved at an unusual angle.

However, it is not required to be that way! Many sex positions allow you to try new positions and provide you with a gradual reintroduction to see if your doctor has given the all-clear. These positions maintain the hips in a neutral position.

Before you start reading this list, remember that every person's pain is different. When you rotate your knees either internally or externally, yours may become more intense. When you twist them internally or externally, you may be fine, but the agony starts as soon as you put any weight on top.

That being said, if the first job on this list doesn't suit you, you might want to try another one. Although eliminating hip pressure and rotation is the main goal of this list of sex positions, each individual is different; therefore, what stresses your "hips" will also be different from yours.

Let's discuss some of the hip-pain-relieving sex positions.

Sex Positions for Penetrating Partners with Hip Pain

Bench Player Position

For those who have been intending to "use" the chaise lounger on their couch or patio deck, this is the ideal addition. By using your lounger's supportive surface, the Bench Player position provides a comfortable and stress-relieving position for your penetrating partner. Add that to a receiver's forward-leaning posture, which shifts a significant portion of their body weight away from the hips, and you have a sex position that can be highly beneficial to the hips of the penetrating partner!

Be Careful With whichever surface or chair you like. Although it doesn't get too harsh, many chaises weren't made to support the weight of two people. Selecting a stable surface can help you prevent damaging your furniture and falling to the floor.

Try it With The Liberator Ramp. If you don't already have a lounger, you may make your own at home using a Liberator Ramp and a level surface. Anywhere you put it, the ramp gives the penetrating partner's back a nice, even slope!

Reclined Crouching Tiger Position

If pressure doesn't exacerbate your hip problems, this position may be a great fit. The Reclined Crouching Tiger Position allows your receiving partner to undertake the effort by evenly distributing your hip weight with theirs while maintaining a neutral posture throughout your body.

Be Careful with: As demonstrated, your hips may be put in a compromising position if you bend over to use a sex item on your spouse. If you discover that it's uncomfortable, think about getting a longer sex toy (which takes less reach!) or move that part of your stance.

Try It With: A bed! Although a couch or chair can be used for this position, a bed is the best option for most support. You both have more excellent space to stretch out on the level surface, which helps you maintain the weight's even distribution.

Eiffel Tower Position

Because standing postures put the penetrating partner's body in a neutral, flat position, they can be significant. The position of the Eiffel Tower is no exception. Hip involvement is not necessary because the penetrating partner can keep their body in a straight line by leaning forward onto the receiving partner's hips.

Be Careful with The way your hips move. In this position, it may be tempting to try a lot of hip thrusting, but be sure to take it slowly and pay attention to the cues your body is giving you.

Try It With: A piece of furniture or a bolster beneath the hands of the recipient. The penetrating partner may have to put a significant amount of weight on the receiver's hips to maintain the neutral hip position. Use a piece of furniture under the receiver's hands to provide additional support and keep them from toppling over.

The Challenge Position

The Challenge Position, which offers an adventure for both of you without causing discomfort to your hip joints, demonstrates that pain need not prevent you from adopting ninja-like stances. The hips avoid deep strains and twists because the penetrating partner maintains a somewhat neutral standing stance. However, the penetrating partner continues to perform well! Careful posture and mild thrusting are necessary in this position to prevent the receiver from becoming unbalanced.

Be Careful With Your Perspective. The penetrating partner may feel tempted to bend their upper body backward, as demonstrated, to make up for the receiver's (lovely!) bum pressing against you. Keep an eye out for any back pain you may be experiencing, and if it does occur, adjust the position by having the receiving partner lean forward onto something (such as the Tuck Position).

Try It With: The receiver in front of a bed. It's terrific to challenge someone, but it's not pleasant to hurt them. By ensuring that the recipient will lose their balance and tumble forward onto the bed, you may both laugh a lot without having to go to the emergency room.

Mesmerthighs Sex Position

Remove the penetration from the hips if bearing any weight on them is making them uncomfortable! By wearing a thigh harness, both of you can experience the closeness of the Mesmerthighs position without experiencing additional hip joint pain. (As a bonus, everyone can still have fun because the person wearing the harness will still have complete access between their thighs.)

Be Careful With: This one can still involve the hips if you put the thigh strap-on harness too high on your hips, especially since the body weight will be uneven. If the thigh harness is causing you some difficulty, consider wearing it closer to your knee.

Try It With: A head pillow for the person wearing the harness. Observing the receiver in this position can be pretty fascinating. The receiving partner is a little too close to comfortably observe in certain sex positions due to the hip-on-hip angles. You both have even more fantastic views of each other's enjoyment if you move the receiver a little bit down the body. It's hot!

Swinging Cowgirl

If you're missing the Cowgirl vibe but can't handle any weight on your hips, I suggest getting a little assistance from a sex swing. In addition to being sexually daring, it's also convenient! The majority of the receiver's weight is supported by the sex swing, allowing Swinging Cowgirl to occur with little weight on the penetrating partner. Both parties benefit!

Be Careful With: where the sex swing is hung. Although sex swings are fantastic, they must be built safely. If you don't want to alter your house, have your swing professionally installed or think about getting a sex swing stand.

Try It With: A vibrator for a pair. Use a We-Vibe Chorus or the Vibrating Girth Enhancer Extension to add a little more excitement to your already daring sex position. Without needing to be held in place by one person, a couple's vibes can increase enjoyment for both.

Sex Positions for Receiving Partners with Hip Pain

Double Hooked In Position

The Doggy Style is used in many hip-friendly sex positions for the receiver. However, the Double Hooked In Position is different. The hips are kept at a neutral angle by both partners standing erect. You may need to ask the penetrating partner to "push forward" more in order to maintain those hips neutral on the receiver; just be sure to keep the lines of communication open!

Be Careful With your body's angle. Pushing the receiving partner's hips back in an attempt to compensate for the penetrating partner's "pulling back" can also be simple. However, this may result in compromised hip posture. Request that the penetrating partner push forward instead so that the receiver can press their hips backless.

Try It With: A plug for the anus! The Double Hooked In position, as shown, is a fantastic way to increase anal enjoyment. Select a body-friendly anal toy, such as the vibrating or b-Vibe Snug Plugs. Toys for sex are the last thing you want to be playing with!

The Hinge Position

The hinge position, which is a variation of the dog-style posture, is practical for hip pain in the receiving partner since it lets them stretch their legs as widely (or as little) as their hips allow. The receiver can position their leg with complete freedom while one of the penetrating partner's legs is out of the way.

(Instead of using their elbows as demonstrated, I advise the receiver to perform this position on their hands to maintain a neutral spine.)

Be Careful With: The force with which you thrust. You are particularly tempted to have hard, deep intercourse in this position, which might make the receiving partner's agony worse. If rough sex is on the menu, make sure to increase it gradually so that nobody experiences any (unwanted!) discomfort.

Try It With: Cock rings might be a perfect fit for the Hinge Position. With all of the close, skin-on-skin pressure, a cock ring can hit the spot. Instead of moving on to the next thrust, the receiving partner can further personalize the experience by pressing rearward into the toy for grinding and prolonged pleasure.

The Champagne Room Position

The Champagne Room Position makes having sex as comfortable as sitting down—that is, assuming you were going to "sit down" on your partner's appendage. The Champagne Room posture may work well for you if sitting is normally pleasant for your hips. Just be sure to manage your upper body's angle to maintain the neutral, 90-degree position your hips are likely seeking.

Be Careful With The larger stomach of a penetrating partner. This could force the receiving partner to hinge over further in order to make penetration work with a larger tum-tum, which could put stress on the hips. We all have different bodies, so try different angles to find what suits you!

Try It With: The receiver's penis stroker or vibrator. The receiving partner has plenty of space in front of you in this sex position. Even while the penetrating partner might be able to reach around and touch their beloved, doing so could unintentionally pull the recipient's body, which could result in hip pain. By holding their sex toy, the recipient can avoid this. Given the amount of room in front of the receiver, bigger gadgets like air suction toys, penis sex machines, or wand massagers can be a "yes" in this case!

Private Rubdown Position

The Private Rubdown can be a fantastic fit if the receiver's hips don't mind weighting on top of them. In addition to being a good choice for a soothing massage that can help ease tension-related pain, it also works well for penetration with from-behind placement, which requires almost little movement on the part of the recipient.

Be Careful With Excess weight above the hips. The penetrating partner is straddling the upper thighs in the Private Rubdown position, as demonstrated; however, when the situation gets closer to penetration, it could cause painful pressure on the hips. Keep an eye out for any indications of pain in your body and communicate them to your companion. To lessen the amount of the penetrating partner's weight that lies on top of the receiver, you two might wish to switch to shallow penetration by default.

Try It With: Extra bondage, a little! That is very easy with the Bondi board (as seen), but you can do it at home with a kit as essential as the Our First Bondage Kit. To enable the receiving partner to reposition their limbs as necessary to provide the optimum hip support, I advise leaving the tethers slack.

The TV Dinner Position

Who said dull sex positions had to be associated with hip pain? The TV Dinner posture keeps the receiving spouse seated by utilizing any ordinary chair. This keeps the knees in a neutral height for the hips, even if it does require the receiver to widen their legs.

Be Careful With: If spreading your legs is the cause of your hip pain, you might not want to do the TV Dinner Position. Spreading your legs during Missionary may not be an option for you if you experience pain.

Try It With: The bed's edge. Think about the bed's edge if you can't find a chair that will work in your house. In this manner, you won't need an extra-wide chair—just the spreading of your legs to make room for your companion!

Sex Positions for Hip Pain for All Partners

Do you both suffer from hip pain? If so, you can still find some fantastic closeness and sex positions that fit your sex life well. I suggest:

Twin Standing Position

An excellent starting point for hip pain is a sex position that keeps you both upright and in neutral positions! You can perform this dual standing position anywhere, but as seen, it holds a vibrator for extra pleasure on a piece of sex furniture!

Be Careful If You're not aligned in height. You might try bending to make up for misaligned hips. Alternatively, to assist in balancing out the height disparities and enable penetration, have one partner stand on an elevated surface (such as an aerobic step or stair).

Try It With: As well as a Magic Wand, the Liberator Axis, For hands-free enjoyment, the Twin Standing Pleasure Position is a great option. It uses a wand massager that slides into the Axis. Another excellent fit for the Liberator Top Dog is if the recipient has a penis.

The Spoon Position

Additionally, you can apply the concept of a dual-standing sex position to lying down! When you both experience hip pain, spooning can be a terrific solution (as long as laying on your side isn't contributing to the pain!) The entire skin-on-skin contact in this position can feel incredibly intimate, but penetration should be delicate to protect your hips.

Be Careful If You attempt to go too far. Pushing your hips forward (or backward!) in an attempt to achieve deeper penetration can be alluring. Doing so may put stress on your hips and back. Keep an eye out for any pain signals from your body and, if needed, reposition yourself to a more neutral position.

Try It With: Some sensational play. The Spoon Position's serene, private atmosphere can be a great place to enjoy novel experiences. For a more experimental flair, think about including feathers, vampire gloves, or massage oils.

Stand Down Boy Position

Keeping both hips in a predominantly neutral position, the Stand Down Boy is a half-standing, half-doggie pose. The receiving partner needs only to get on their hands and knees in front of an elevated surface. Then, the penetrating partner takes a position behind them, and presto! You're ready to go!

Be Careful if You have misaligned hips. In order to get the proper height, you might be tempted to narrow your legs or tilt your hips. Don't. Choose a surface that is more comfortable for both of you, such as a couch or chair rather than a bed.

Try It With: A little bondage. This can be a fantastic fit for some bondage because you are both comparatively motionless in this sex position. The receiving partner may wear wrist restraints or nipple clamps, or the penetrating partner may wear ankle shackles. It can give your play a little more "taboo" erotic appeal.

The Deckchair Position

Suppose both of you have the energy to try something new. In that case, the Deckchair posture, which involves keeping your hips at (mainly) 90-degree angles and both of your legs (mostly) together, might be a terrific experimental posture. It compensates for its lack of pushing depth with daring inventiveness.

Be Careful with your actions. Some people press their bodies too far in one direction in an attempt to achieve deep penetration from this posture. If you're cautious with your hip joints, this posture may not provide deep penetration.

Try It With: Massage oil or gel from Nuru. Just making sure that both of your bodies can glide against each other will relieve a lot of the strain associated with the Deckchair position. Oiling the penetrator's legs and the recipient's back creates a slick surface that makes it easier for the receiver to slide back and forth along their lover's legs.

The Perch Position

Do you find sitting comfortably? In that case, the Perch Position effectively puts you both in a sitting position! Although the receiver must put forth a little more effort in this situation, this double-seated option can help prevent certain common hip strains!

Be Careful With: The body of the receiver. The partner who is penetrating is actually sitting on a chair. The receiver must maintain equilibrium while balancing on top of the body of the penetrating partner. This can be facilitated by the penetrating partner using their arms to support and strengthen the receiver and lessen the strain. However, always communicate to make sure the penetrating partner isn't clutching in uncomfortable places!

Try It With: A sex toy that's comfortable to hold. Both partners will be able to move about a fair amount in the Perch Position. You can avoid dropping your sex toy by using one that "anchors" itself onto your body. The Magic Wand Micro, Hot Octopuss DiGiT, FemmeFunn Dioni, Dame Fin, OhMiBod Rev, and Oxballs Jack't Stroker are some of the alternatives you'll be considering.

The Kneeling Fox Position

If kneeling is comfortable for your hips, the Kneeling Fox can be a fantastic choice for you both. Although the receiver will be leaning into the penetrating partner's hips, which will put a little more pressure on them, you can try something different by switching up your typical standing, doggy, and laying positions.

Be Careful With Your Knees. Although the Kneeling Fox is kinder to the hips, your knees may feel a little scratchy in the folded-leg posture. Folded, your legs will probably get asleep sooner rather than later, even if your knees are excellent. Think of the Kneeling Fox as a brief stopover on your journey through sex positions, and arrange to transition elsewhere for most of your play.

Try It With: A small amount of impact play. Particularly if you've been performing dog style for years, this stance may feel a little "primal" to you! The sensual potential can be increased by spanking your partner's butt or upper back with a paddle (or simply your hand!). (Avoid spanking in the vicinity of the kidney!)

Synchronous Friction Position

Don't feel pressured to engage in sexual activity if you're experiencing severe discomfort today! Instead, you two can experience some much-needed connection without the physical effort of sexual activity by adopting a position similar to the Synchronous Friction Position. In this posture, mutual masturbation allows you to get "up close and personal" with the action and touch each other with your free hand.

Be Careful If It hurts to lift your leg and wrap it around a companion. Although both lovers are seen putting their legs around each other in the Synchronous Friction Position, this is by no means necessary! It is still possible to enjoy this position without tying your limbs together, which may also lessen hip discomfort.

Try It With: Your preferred sex objects! Since synchronous friction is a position for mutual masturbation, it will feel most comfortable if you utilize your preferred techniques. Go ahead and do it if you can! Go for it as well if it's a sex toy! With enough space between your two bodies, you may also be able to try out new toys like the Satisfyer Multifun 3, Wild Flower Enby 2, or Satisfyer Endless Love that are designed to fit both of your bodies. They can be passed from one person to another.
