The Triceratops Sex Position Is Roaringly Good
We promise it's sexier than it sounds.
Okay, so I know the word “Triceratops” doesn’t immediately provoke sexy thoughts, but hear me out: The Triceratops sex position can be super hot if you’re into a little BDSM. “If you want to be dominated, then the Triceratops sex position is a must-do for you!” says Ruby Payne, sex expert at adult toy retailer UberKinky. Does that sound like you? Then let’s get you in position. (Psst, if you don’t actually know whether you want to be dominated, take a kink test.)
“If you’re the receiver, bend over so your stomach is parallel to the ground. Look down at the floor and spread your legs. Have your partner enter you vaginally or anally from behind while holding your arms alongside your body, parallel to the floor,” says Payne.
Now that you know how it's done, here's why it's so roaringly (sorry, had to) good.
The receiving partner gets to be submissive
“This is a fabulous position for people who enjoy power exchange (dominance and submission),” says Rebecca Blanton, aka Auntie Vice, sex educator and co-host of the Fat Chicks on Top podcast. “Having your arms pinned behind you (and possibly bound behind you) leaves the other person in control of how you're penetrated and the speed of the thrusting during the session.”
You can control how much penetration is involved
Goody Howard, resident sex educator for sexual hygiene and body care company Royal, says Triceratops is great for deeper penetration. But it’s versatile enough that the receiving partner can control how much they’re getting by adjusting the position of their legs. “Having your legs apart while your partner stands between them allows for deep penetration, while having your legs closer together with your partner’s on the outside will allow for shallow thrusts and penetration to really help stimulate the inner walls of your vagina or anus,” says Payne.
It makes the clit accessible
“If your partner’s a multitasker, they can use one of their hands to hold both your hands and use their free hand to rub or stimulate your clit,” says Moore. “There are also vibrating sex toys that can do wonders on your clit. My personal favorites are the We-Vibe Tango bullet vibe for powerful and focused clit vibrations and Magic Wand Plus for deep powerful rumbles. Your partner can also put the Magic Wand’s broad tip around your anus, perineum, or even under their balls for intense sensations.”
But don’t just take my word for it. Here are some positions to get you trying it out for yourself.
