Position of the Week: The Muscle Hustle

It’s the ultimate lift-and-love move... If you’re looking to climb that cutie like a gosh darn tree – or you want to show off your kinky core strength, this challenging position is for you.

How?

One partner stands, scooping the other into their arms for some seriously intimate face-to-face action. The lifted partner can hook their legs around their partner’s waist or keep their toes brushing a bed or chair for balance, while the standing partner supports their lover’s weight and does the thrusting.

You can also slightly adapt to bring a wall into play; having something to lean on makes the position feel steadier. It’s part workout, part acrobatics, all pleasure, and it puts you eye-to-eye for kissing, nibbling, and dirty talking mid-thrust.

Why?

This position is about intensity. Because you’re so close, it’s basically impossible not to be fully wrapped up in each other. The angle also creates a snug, deep penetration that can feel incredible for both partners. Plus, it’s a fantastic choice if one partner is taller, bigger, or simply loves showing off their strength!

There’s a power-play element here: one gets to hold and control the pace, while the other surrenders into being lifted and rocked. It’s a mix of athleticism, romance, and raw, sweaty fun; perfect if you’re craving passion with a dash of playful exercise...

Make it even easier

Lifting an entire human body isn’t always realistic, so let’s cheat a little. Instead of going full body lift, seat the receiving partner on a table, sturdy countertop, or even the arm of a couch. This way, the standing partner can still get that same sexy, upright thrusting angle without worrying about their strength giving out. Think of it as upgrading from CrossFit sex to clever, furniture-assisted sex. You still get the eye contact, the kissing, the closeness, just with way less strain.

Make it even better

Want to turn the heat up? Add a vibrating cock ring to the mix. Suddenly, those body-to-body presses get an extra buzz that takes things from “fun” to “fireworks.” Because the position already has you tight together, the vibrations travel beautifully, making both partners feel every pulse.

We like We-Vibe's Pivot, a stretchy little number that slides on easily and delivers two magic perks: may help the penetrating partner stay harder, longer, and it offers delicious clitoral or perineal stimulation with every thrust.

Speaking of thrusting; if you’re the standing partner, consider wearing a butt plug. Each thrust will clench your butt muscles around the toy, which can feel pretty powerful, especially if you choose a smooth metal or glass plug to add a satisfying weight.

Make it even kinkier

If you’re ready to add some spice, bring in a doorway sex swing. Instead of being held up the whole time, the receiving partner gets strapped in, suspended by sturdy straps, legs spread and supported, like a very grown-up playground...

The standing partner can then thrust, tease, and adjust angles without breaking a sweat. The swing introduces an element of restraint and vulnerability that ups the kinky thrill factor, while also giving the lifting partner free rein for spanking, nipple play, or even light bondage. It’s part circus, part dungeon, all hot hot HOT!

Not the position for you?

We're working to make sure that everyone is represented on our website, regardless of who you love, so we'll be using a variety of gender depictions in our Position of the Week posts. This will include straight, gay, lesbian, and gender neutral couples, but all positions will have details in the description of how to make them work for your own relationship dynamic.
