What are the best plus size sex positions?

Positions that prioritize structural support—such as side-lying, seated setups, and grounded reclined options—tend to be the most sustainable and comfortable for plus-size bodies.

comfort, confidence, and working with your body

01 / The Concept

alignment over angles.

plus size sex positions aren’t about limitation—they’re about alignment. discover how real bodies find setups that feel good, sustainable, and confident.

when you prioritize support over strain and access over angles, intimacy stops feeling like work and starts feeling like connection.

02 / Mechanics

the architectural tool.

pillows are not a crutch—they are the architectural tools of superior intimacy. in engineering terms, they act as wedges that adjust the "angle of attack."

placing a firm pillow or wedge under the hips can completely change the alignment of the spine, reducing lower back tension and providing better physical access.

03 / Core Factors

what actually matters

before choosing a setup, handle the logistics that make connection possible. when these factors lead, the rest follows naturally:

Support: Use furniture to carry the weight.
Stability: Avoid positions requiring "holding a plank."
Access: Prioritize easy proximity and reach.
Relaxation: If you're bracing, you aren't feeling.

04 / Setups

prioritizing ease

think in categories of support: seated and upright setups are often the most empowering, reducing strain on joints while allowing for incredible eye contact.

side-lying arrangements are criminally underrated, allowing bodies to stay fully supported from head to toe—ideal for slower moments where you want the session to last.

They aren't required, but they are highly recommended. They act as structural wedges to reduce joint pressure and improve access without requiring extra muscle effort.

06 / Takeaway

the real takeaway

there is no correct way for a body to be intimate; there are only ways that feel good for the people involved. when you focus on stability, bodies relax and connection deepens.
