So, what is it?
In a nutshell, the sex position is named after the positioning of a pillow that creates a kind of speed bump shape to the receiver’s body. The speed bump is a rear-entry sex position, much like doggy style, but the person on the receiving end places a pillow under their hips to prop their booty up a little.
While lying on your stomach, you can choose to either keep your legs together or spread them apart. Then, the person who is on the giving end of the position can either straddle their partner’s closed legs while entering them from behind, or come up behind them from between their legs.
Annabelle Knight, a Sex and Relationship expert at Lovehoney spoke with Cosmopolitan about the speed bump sex position, sharing that it’s popular because “of the deep penetration made possible by the position and the elevation of the hips made possible by the pillow.”
“The partner doing the penetrating can experiment with positioning of their legs and can kiss the nape of their partner’s neck and could even wear a vibrating cock ring to add an extra level of stimulation,” she said.
