POSITION GUIDE

BANANA
SPLIT

Named after the dessert. Acts nothing like the dessert. The position where one leg goes UP and one leg goes OUT and a normal looking missionary becomes much more interesting.

SCROLL

The Banana Split is the position you get when you take missionary and split the receivers legs in two completely different directions. One up. One sideways. Sounds chaotic. Looks chaotic. Feels great. Welcome.

What It Actually Is

Receiver on back. One leg straight up in the air. One leg flat out to the side. Giver between them. That is it.

Bottom partner lies on their back. One leg goes up toward the ceiling, often resting against the giver. The other leg goes flat out to the side. Giver kneels in between in a position thats kind of half scissor. Penetration happens at a sideways angle that no other position really creates.

Quick aside. The name is supposedly because the legs form a Y shape that vaguely resembles the long banana with two scoops of ice cream on either side from a banana split sundae. Nobody actually sees this resemblance. The name is questionable. The position is GREAT. We are not letting the name stop us from recommending it.

Who Its For And Who It Isnt

WORKS FOR

Receivers with hip flexibility

Couples who want a sideways angle they have not tried

Sessions that want depth without going full mating press

Anyone bored of straight ahead missionary geometry

Couples who have done the basics and want to expand

DOESNT WORK FOR

Receivers with hip mobility issues

Long sessions (one leg up gets tiring)

Significant size difference where the geometry breaks down

Couples who havent gotten comfortable with regular missionary first

Anyone with knee or hip injuries

How To Actually Do It

01
Start in missionary
Standard missionary position. Penetration. Get rhythm. Banana Split works way better as a transition than a starting point.
02
Receiver lifts one leg up
One leg comes up toward the ceiling. Rest it against the givers shoulder or chest. The giver can hold it in place to take some weight off. This leg is the banana.
03
Other leg goes flat out
The other leg extends straight out to the side, flat on the bed. This is the split part. It opens the hip on that side, which is where the unique angle comes from.
04
Giver shifts to a half scissor
Giver is now in an asymmetric position. One leg between the receivers legs. Other leg next to the receivers extended leg. The givers hips end up at a slight angle compared to standard missionary. This is what creates the new sensation.
05
Move slow, find the angle
The first few thrusts feel different from missionary because the angle is different. The receivers vagina is being approached from a slight diagonal. Some people feel this immediately. Some feel it after a few minutes of adjustment. Communicate. Adjust. The right angle is in here somewhere.

Why The Angle Matters

Banana Split hits a spot that missionary doesnt. The asymmetric angle is the entire trick.

Couples who tried it and saw what we mean

Most positions create a symmetric angle. Both partners are aligned in the same direction. Banana Split breaks that symmetry. The receivers split legs change the internal geometry. The givers half scissor approach changes the angle of penetration. The combination creates contact points that other positions just dont reach.

Quick aside. This is the position where you might suddenly hit a spot that has been hiding from you for years. We have heard from couples who described Banana Split as the moment they realized angle matters as much as depth. We do not have stats on this. We have anecdotes. Try it and see what your body says.

Common Mistakes

Forcing the leg position. Pulling the leg up further than the receiver can comfortably hold. Pain happens. Fix: receiver controls how high. Half height is fine. Full height is optional.

Holding the up leg too long. The receivers up leg gets tired. Whole position breaks. Fix: switch to the other leg up. Or transition out periodically.

Not actually doing the half scissor. Giver stays in straight missionary while just tilting the receivers leg. Doesnt create the unique angle. Fix: actually shift to the asymmetric scissor.

Skipping the warm up. Trying Banana Split cold without missionary first. Awkward and stiff. Fix: missionary first. Always.

The Bottom Line

Banana Split is the position you reach for when missionary has plateaued.

One leg up. One leg out. Giver in a half scissor. Different angle than anything else. Test the angles. Switch which leg is up. Use it as a featured part of a session, not the whole thing. Most couples who try Banana Split keep it in the rotation specifically for the spot it hits that nothing else does.
