Captain Obvious says: blow jobs can be a fun and super-sexy part of foreplay, or it can be the main event. Here’s the thing, though, there's almost always a way or (several ways) to make a good thing even better - for all participants. If you’ve been looking for a new way to give or receive oral sex, read on for some fun blow job position suggestions. Whether you’re a going-down beginner or a seasoned fellatio expert, there’s something hot for everyone on this list!
Regular
Apologies for the stunning lack of creativity with the name here but let’s face it, this one happens a lot; seriously, it legit comes up enough to be called Regular. What does the “Regular” position entail? Well, it tends to be what folks default to when giving a blowjob in bed. The receiver lies on their back with their legs open while the giver is on their stomach or knees on the bed, between the receiver’s legs.
If you’re giving a blow job in a bed, this is a very natural way to do it. Unfortunately, it can get a little uncomfortable especially for folks with any neck or shoulder problems. Don’t be afraid to incorporate pillows, cushions or anything else you need to keep everyone comfortable.
Kneeling
Kneeling is pretty much the “Regular” equivalent for administering a blow job while the recipient is standing. The execution is totally simple: face your partner and get down on your knees while they stay upright
It might sound standard or basic but tbh, it’s a classic that many consider the best blowjob position. It’s quick and easy, can be super hot, and doesn’t require you to be particularly flexible or anything. Plus this oral sex position is super versatile. While the recipient can be standing it’s also a great position to perform fellatio from when the recipient is sitting down.
Boss's Chair
Speaking of putting the Kneeling position to use with a seated partner, enter The Boss’ Chair! This position is designed to make the blow job recipient feel like ‘a boss’.
Let the recipient get comfortable in a chair and then come to your knees in front of them like in the Kneeling Blow Job position. This is another one that is versatile. It can be used in the bedroom with the recipient sitting on the edge of the bed with their feet on the floor or in the dining room while they enjoy a meal, in the living room while they watching TV, or, if you want to really play out the “boss” theme, you can perform it from under the desk while they are on their computer.
Cinema
Remember making out at the movies when you were a teenager (or last week, whatever, I don’t know your habits!), this oral sex position will take you right back to those hot and heavy movie nights. To perform the Cinema position, sit next to the recipient, facing the same direct -- like you would at the movies. From there, you can just stay seated and lean over to administer oral stimulation.
This position works great in cars or even when you are sitting on the couch. A fun bonus of the Cinema position is that it provides a unique blow job sensation as you will be approaching their penis from the side rather than head-on.
Thigh Pillow
The thigh pillow is great because it gives you a comfy spot to rest your head and also, it comes with options. One way to do it is to have the recipient lay on one side and lift their top leg. You set yourself up so you are lying on your side with your head resting on their bottom thigh (picture the “Regular” position, just flipped on itself with a comfortable headrest!) .
The other way to do the Thigh Pillow is to flip it around so your legs are up near your partner’s face and you will, once again, rest your head on their lower thigh. This variation is fun because it allows them to touch and stimulate you while you are on the job (as it were).
Doctor
The Doctor blowjob position is another fun variation on the Kneeling position. The name comes from the recipient being positioned on a couch much like they would be in a psychotherapy session (or at least a psychotherapy session in a movie!).
This one is super easy to do. The recipient lies down on a sofa or a bed on their back and gets comfortable. You then get down on your knees just like in the Kneeling bj position. This position also provides the same fun sideways angle that the Cinema position does so if that’s something you and your partner enjoy, you’ll definitely want to give the Doctor a try.
Jack Hammer
Looking for something a bit novel? The Jack Hammer might be a fun one to try! This is a position in which the recipient is standing on a firm surface (think floor rather than bed) and I recommend it be done close to a wall or couch or really anything the recipient can use to steady themselves should the sensation get too intense. To get into the Jack Hammer position, the recipient will need to spread their legs a bit and you will sit down on the floor between their legs (you can face either direction so feel free to experiment). You lean back and insert their penis into your mouth. From here the recipient can slowly squat to bring their penis in and out of your mouth.
This one comes with some safety blow job tips:
- Again, do it on a firm surface as the recipient losing balance in this position could injure either (or both) of you.
- Have a tap-out signal for if the recipient gets carried away. Something as simple as two quick taps on the outside of their leg can let them know you need air/are gagging etc.
Plumber
If you enjoyed the idea of performing fellatio from below in that last position, this might be for you! In this position, you lie down on your back while the recipient is on all fours above you with their knees on either side of your head, lower legs alongside your body, and penis directly above your mouth.
This is another position where you want to employ a tap-out signal in case the penetration gets too deep. Additionally, pillows, cushions, or a sex positioning wedge are a good idea for helping to keep your head comfortably in position without straining your neck. By doing this, you can make sure that you and the receiving partner experience pleasure.
Laid Back (aka The Deepthroat Position)
Have you or your partner always wanted to try deepthroating? This porn staple can be tricky based on a couple of factors including penis size and gag reflex sensitivity. That said, if you are really into the idea, the Laid Back position is, logistically, your best bet for making it happen. Why? It puts the mouth and throat into one long line, enabling you to more easily take more of your partner into your mouth. Be sure to use a personal lubricant instead of a numbing lube.
To do the Laid Back position, lie down on your back with your head hanging off the edge of the bed. The recipient then stands (or kneels, depending on bed height) so their penis is in line with their partner’s mouth. From this position, the recipient can remain still or experiment with some thrusting techniques (start small!).
If you feel like your mouth and throat are not lining up, or if the bed feels too low, try placing a pillow or cushion at the edge of the bed, so your shoulders rest on it and then hanging back front here. Because the recipient has so much freedom to move here, as the giver you want to use your hands to steer the motion and keep things comfortable for you and, one more time, have an agreed-upon tap-out signal.
So there you have it, folks, 9 fun positions to try the next time you give a blow job. Remember to communicate, stay comfortable, and have fun!
