Anal: face-to-face
Also known as anal missionaryface to face analintimate anal
Face-to-face anal — on the back with hips raised on a pillow — keeps partners looking at each other, making it easy to read comfort and stay connected during anal play.
The gist
For anal play where connection and communication matter most, a face-to-face angle keeps eye contact front and center so partners can read each other easily. A pillow under the hips creates a comfortable angle, and, as always, unhurried warm-up and generous lubrication come first.
Step by step
The receiving partner lies back with a firm pillow under the hips.
Warm up thoroughly and apply plenty of lubrication.
The other kneels close and eases in slowly, watching for comfort cues.
Stay face-to-face so you can check in with a look and a word.
Tips
- Eye contact makes it easy to read comfort — use it and keep talking.
- A firm pillow under the hips finds a gentler angle than lying flat.

The Butterfly
