POSITION GUIDE

PLANK

Yes, like the gym move. The receiver holds an actual plank pose. Sex is happening. Your core has feelings about this. Heres what to expect.

SCROLL

The Plank position has the receiver holding a plank or modified push up pose, with the giver behind. Yes the core gets a workout. Yes thats kind of the point. The novelty value is real.

What It Actually Is

Receiver in a plank pose (forearms or hands, body straight). Giver behind, kneeling or standing. Penetration from behind.

Bottom partner gets into a plank pose. Could be elbow plank or full hand plank. Body in a straight line, core engaged. Top partner positions behind, kneeling on the bed, and penetrates from rear entry. The receivers core does the structural work. The giver controls the pace.

If you have ever done a plank in a fitness class, you know that 60 seconds is about the cap for most non gym people. Sex on top of that is harder. Treat plank as a 60 to 120 second feature, not a base position.

How To Actually Do It

01
Test the plank first
Receiver holds plank for 30 seconds outside of sex. If your core wobbles immediately, this position will not work tonight.
02
Use forearm plank, not hand plank
Forearm plank is way more sustainable than hand plank. The wrists do not collapse. Use this version.
03
Soft surface, but supportive
Bed works fine. Soft mattress is harder. A firm bed or a yoga mat on the floor is ideal.
04
Giver enters from behind
Kneel behind. Penetration happens. The angle is similar to doggy but with the receivers entire body horizontal and engaged.
05
Tap out at 90 seconds
Receivers core will quit. Plan transition to a regular position. Plank is a 90 second peak, not a sustained mode.

The Bottom Line

Plank is a fitness adjacent novelty position. Worth a try. Not for sustained use.

Forearm plank. Firm surface. Giver behind. 90 seconds max. Most couples try it once and rotate it out. Some keep it as a feature segment. Either response is correct.
