LOVE Positions – The Flatiron – A Smooth Move for Maximum Heat

In this second instalment of our LOVE Positions series, we’re taking a look at the Flatiron, a sultry variation inspired by the much-loved doggy style. This take on the position offers a more sensual, skin-to-skin experience, replacing doggy style’s physical distance with a body-to-body connection that’s both electrifying and intimate. The Flatiron will bring you closer together—literally—melding your bodies for even more pleasure and intense intimacy. It’s simple, effective, and guaranteed to bring your passion to a boil while creating a uniquely intense connection.

You don’t need to be a contortionist to pull off the Flatiron, but a bit of flexibility certainly helps. This position works best on a flat surface, like a bed, sofa, or even the floor. The receiving partner lies flat on their stomach with their legs extended straight behind them—unlike doggy style, which typically involves being on all fours.

The giving partner then positions themselves on top, applying their weight to the receiver’s backside so their chest and hips press closely against their partner’s back. From there, penetration happens from behind, creating a sense of intense closeness and an all-encompassing connection.

If flexibility isn’t your strong suit, or you want to ease into the position, start in a classic doggy style stance. Once you’re both comfortable, gently lower yourselves onto your stomachs to shift into this more intimate and enveloping variation.

It’s all about intimacy. The main advantage of the Flatiron is that it lets you melt into each other effortlessly. The Flatiron is perfect for couples who want a sweet, sensual position that changes from the everyday. It takes the sexiness of rear-entry penetration and pairs it with a surprising level of tenderness, swapping the distance of traditional doggy style for a super-close connection that feels both intimate and intense.

Another upside? The sensations you’ll feel during penetration. With the receiving partner’s legs straight and less spread than in other positions, her vagina will feel tighter, leading to increased pleasure for both of you.

Also, since both of your bodies are aligned in the same direction, it’s easy to share a focal point. If you’re feeling adventurous, putting on an erotic video to watch together can take the experience up a notch.

And let’s not forget the added perks. This position makes it easy to whisper something sexy—or downright naughty—into your partner’s ear, an often-overlooked erogenous zone that can seriously turn up the intensity. If your heads are aligned just right, you could even share a kiss, using your tongues to tease and heighten the moment. It’s the perfect mix of physical pleasure and emotional connection.

Looking to take your Flatiron experience to the next level? The right sex toys can turn this already sensual position into something truly unforgettable.

For hands-free pleasure, a pair of vibrating panties is a game-changer. These discreet little devices will treat you to intense clit stimulation during penetration. We recommend using this toy on a mattress or a plush sofa, as your panties may feel uncomfortable against a harder surface.

Why not add a hint of mystery to your session with a BDSM blindfold? Blocking your partner’s vision will heighten the suspense, making every sensation feel more intense. Once she’s lying on her stomach, treat her to a series of sensory surprises: an erotic massage, temperature play (switching between warm wax and a cool ice cube), or gentle teasing with a feather tickler. You can also stimulate her manually or orally to extend foreplay. When the tension is at its peak, you can then enter her slowly for an unforgettable crescendo. Taking away her ability to see will turn every touch into pure bliss.

Got the Flatiron down and ready to turn up the heat? Here’s how to level up with a variation that’s even sexier.

Try moving the Flatiron to a flat, elevated surface like a table, countertop, or even the washing machine. In this version, the receiving partner lies on her stomach on the chosen surface but keeps her feet firmly on the floor. The giving partner stands behind, entering from behind while maintaining a stable, comfortable position. If needed, they can rest lightly on their partner’s back for balance.

What makes this variation so thrilling is its spontaneity. It’s ideal for those moments where passion strikes, especially if the receiving partner is wearing a skirt or dress—making it possible to keep things mostly clothed. This opens the door to exciting sessions out in public or fun quickies in unexpected places. The element of secrecy and the thrill of breaking the rules will add an erotic charge that few positions can match.

This twist on the Flatiron is perfect for couples who have mastered the Flatiron and are now looking to switch things up a bit.

All of us here on the LOVE Team hope that this new position will be a hit with you and your partner. The Flatiron delivers XXL-sized sensations that will leave a lasting impression. And remember: whether you’re out in the wild or in the bedroom, the ultimate pleasure comes from exploring new things together!

The LOVE Positions series will be back soon with a saucy new pose for you. In the meantime, have fun, be safe, and dare to try something new!
