You up for going down? Let’s talk! Whether it’s your first time eating pussy or you’re a DATY fanatic (DATY = Dining At The Y!), we’re here to help make sure you find the most pleasurable positions for you and your partner.

There are a few things that you can try out with your partner in order to see the type of positioning they may like. Not every anatomy is the same and people like different things, so take your time to experiment. After all, the nerves in the clit aren’t all equally spread out! 

Perhaps your sweetie likes being pleasured only on the top right corner of their vulva, or especially enjoys being positioned in a way where they can also be penetrated. No matter what they’re into, we’ve got something for everyone. 

These positions don’t work for you? No problem! Each suggestion we give has a few tips for how to modify for different sensations, or to incorporate other kinds of play. 

1. The Classic Pussy Eating Position

The Classic Pussy Eating Position

The Receiver lays on their back while the Giver lays or kneels between their legs.

If you and your partner aren’t entirely sure yet what works for you both, a good place to start is to have your loved one lay on their back, and to position yourself between their legs. 

This tried-and-true position allows you to access other parts of their body while you eat them out.

This tried-and-true position allows you to access other parts of their body while you eat them out: you can reach up and play with their nipples, you can hold their hips or wrists down (if they’re into that kind of thing!). You can even play with penetration, inserting a finger vaginally or anally while teasing their clit with your tongue.

Modifications: 

  1. Place a pillow or pillows under their lower back to have more access to the underside of their clit.
  2. Scoot their hips to the edge of the bed and eat them from on your knees on the floor in front of them.
  3. Lay them on their back but have them wrap their legs around your neck.

2. The “Ride” Pussy Eating Position

The “Ride” Pussy Eating Position

The Giver lays on their back while the Receiver kneels and straddles their face.

Are you both into face sitting? Laying on your back, encourage your partner to straddle your face with their thighs at your ears, giving you unfettered access to all sides of the clit, the opening of the pussy, and the tender inner thighs. 

You can let your partner take control and do what they want with your face, or you can tease them by varying the speed and types of tongue strokes you use. If you have a headboard, they can hold onto it for support just in case the pleasure becomes debilitating. 

Modifications for this one are a little limited, since if requires you to be lying down in order to really work, but you can take advantage of this position to try the following things: 

  1. Floor play. Sometimes sex happens when you aren’t expecting it, and there’s no time to rush for the bedroom! Let your partner push you to the floor and straddle your face right there in the living room.
  2. Penetration/toy play -- keep reading for more on this!

3. The “Toy Ride” Pussy Eating Position

The “Toy Ride” Pussy Eating Position

“The Ride” position above is a particularly convenient position for toy play! 

With your face occupied, you can use your hands for all kinds of things! The unique positioning of face-sitting means you can penetrate your partner from behind, either with your fingers or with a toy. So why not add a sex toy to your oral sex adventures?

With your face occupied, you can use your hands for all kinds of things! 

Depending on where your partner’s cervix is located (if they have one), they may prefer the feeling of penetration from behind, so this could be a particularly great position for you both! 

4. What’s For Dinner?

What’s For Dinner?

Okay, yes, it is called pussy eating, but can you actually do it on a table? The answer is a resounding “of course!” In fact, the dinner table may become one of your very favorite places to eat, once you realize how perfect it really is. Here’s what this might look like:

This position is really just a table-version of the first position (The Classic), but on top of a table instead of the bed or floor. 

Modifications: 

  1. Depending on your height, you can sit in a dining room chair and have them scoot their hips to the edge of the table so you’re in line with their vulva. If you’re a little too tall for this maneuver to be comfortable, consider option B.
  2. Join your partner on the table! Like The Classic, you can place a pillow under their hips and lie between their thighs to dine, or you can position yourself above them in a very sexy, all-you-can-eat 69!

Whatever positions you decide to try out, have fun, make modifications to your own needs/wants/desires, and spice it up! The most important thing isn’t following directions someone else gave you, but finding your own rhythm with your partner.
