The Best Sex Positions For a Shorter Penis

Penis size has never been a deal-breaker for me, unless it was too large. Sure, everyone has their ‘perfect’ size, and I’m a lucky lady in that what’s considered ‘average’ is my preferred. However, some men make the mistake of comparing themselves to porn stars, or what they think women want, and that’s just not realistic. Everyone is different, and most women are happy with whatever you’re packing. As long as you know how to use it.

Women want a man who is good in bed. That means someone who is communicative, takes their time and is attentive to her needs. Nowhere in there is size much of a factor. Nonetheless, if you have an average size penis (which is 5.16 inches if you’re interested, erect) or smaller, and you’re concerned about your performance, there are certain positions that can give you an advantage.

1. Doggy Style

If you have a shorter than average penis, as a general rule, you want to go for any position that facilitates deep penetration, so that you can utilize the entire length of your shaft. That’s why Doggy Style is a great option. It’s not too complicated, gives you a great rear view, and you can reach around to provide her with extra clitoral stimulation. You control the speed and pattern of your thrusts for maximum penetration and pleasure.

Just be sure to check in with your partner and make sure she’s enjoying it too. A lot of women don’t orgasm from penetration alone, so ensuring she’s getting stimulation how she needs it is important.

2. Face Off

This position is great for guys with a shorter penis because it’s less about “in and out” penetration, and more about “wiggling” around while you’re inside your partner. It also allows for kissing, nipple play, and heavy petting. If you deep thrust with a vibrating ring you’ll be providing intense clitoral stimulation with your thrusts.

Just sit on the floor or your couch, and have your partner sit on your penis, facing you. She’ll be able to control the movement with a flick of her hips, or you can help by raising her up and down with your hands under her bottom.

3. The Little Dipper

For The Little Dipper, your partner uses either a bed, couch, or chair to hoist their body over you. You then insert your penis into your partner’s vagina or anus — whichever you both are feeling! If done correctly, you should be in a lowercase T-shaped formation.

This position allows for both deep penetration and easy access for clitoral stimulation. The vagina has far fewer nerve endings than the clitoris, which is only intermittently stimulated during most standard intercourse positions. That’s why positions that allow for clitoral stimulation and deep vaginal penetration are ideal for people with a shorter penis.

4. Cowgirl

There are numerous cowgirl variations, so it’s tough to recommend just one for men with a shorter penis. It depends on the length of your penis and it’s angle. Try regular cowgirl, and if that doesn’t feel right, go for squatting cowgirl. Squatting cowgirl allows for deeper penetration, manual clitoral stimulation, and G-spot stimulation. Win, win, win.

5. Stand and Deliver

Also known as The Bicycle, Stand and Deliver allows for incredibly deep penetration. Stand at the edge of a bed or desk while your partner lies back and raises their legs to their chest. Their knees are bent as if they’re doing a “bicycling” exercise. From there, grab their ankles and enter them.

6. Elevated Reverse Cowgirl

Elevated reverse cowgirl is just a simple variation on the classic reverse cowgirl. To maximize penetration, place a pillow under your hips. You’re laying on the bed or floor, and they’re sitting on you facing away.

7. The Spork

This one is great because it allows you to use your partner’s leg as leverage. Have your partner lie on the floor (or bed) with one leg extended straight. Kneel between their legs and raise their other leg straight up so it’s resting on your shoulder. Keep a hold of their leg as you enter, and use it to push and pull on as you thrust in and out. This is one of my personal favorites!

8. Pole Position

Sit on the side of a couch and have your partner sit on you, but with their legs facing either right or left rather than straight ahead. This will cause their hips to drop slightly more than in normal cowgirl, and give you the extra penetration you’re looking for. You can either use your hands to lift their hips up and down, or, if you’re sitting down low enough, they can use their feet to push off the floor to create momentum.

9. The G-Whiz

This is perhaps the most maximum penetration position out there. Have your partner lie on their back and pull their knees up to their chest and roll back so their hips lift off the surface. Then you can cozy up in front of your partner and penetrate. If your knees permit, you can actually squat next to them with your knees moving outside of theirs, though this works best on a hard surface, like the floor. It’s an awesome position because their hips are elevated and you can control the force of your thrusts.

10. The Flatiron

Have your partner lie on their stomach with their feet squeezed tightly together. To help with penetration, have them put a pillow underneath their pelvis. Lie on their back and enter from behind. Because their hips are in a position that’s more closed than open, there will be greater friction created on their vaginal walls. The tighter they squeeze their legs, the more friction and pleasure you’ll both feel. I’ve never heard this called the Flatiron before, we just call it prone bone and it’s amazing!

The Bottom Line

Communication between partners is important. Rather than worry that your penis length may be lacking, try talking to your partner about what they desire in bed and work with what you were given. Sex isn’t about penetration alone. There are so many ways to pleasure one another in bed that have nothing to do with traditional penis in vagina. Explore your options and enjoy!
