Leapfrog Sex Position Explained

Leapfrog might have been a game you played as a child on the playground. You probably have innocent memories of jumping over your friend’s backs in a frog-like fashion while laughing joyously as the sun glinted off the metal slides. Your innocent childhood memories are about to be ruined because it turns out that leapfrog is also one of the more adventurous sex positions. Yep, the leapfrog sex position is as naughty as it gets. While you technically could perform this adult version of leapfrog on a playground (this is in no way recommended as it is very illegal), that’s pretty much where the similarities between the two end. Although, much like the childhood game, the leapfrog sex position comes from how the giving partner looks like a frog about to leap. It’s ideal for partners with smaller penises as the angle of the leapfrog position has the effect of shortening the vagina for deeper penetration. Read on to discover how to do the leapfrog sex position and why you’ll want to.

What Is the Leapfrog Sex Position?

So, if it’s not a playground game, then what is the leapfrog sex position? The leapfrog sex position requires the female partner to be on her knees and forearms with her head and chest on the bed while she sticks her butt up in the air for her partner to penetrate her from behind. While the leapfrog sex position could be incorporated into LGBTQ sex positions, we will be referring to cisgender male and female couples for this article. The male partner will enter the female partner from a squatting position above her bottom. He can place his hands on her lower back or grab her hips to help balance himself and make thrusting easier. In this way, he looks very much like a frog leaping over another frog. It’s maybe not the sexiest imagery, but it’s an accurate description of what the leapfrog sex position looks like. Although if the male partner finds the squatting too intense after a while, he can drop down to his knees. This will make the leapfrog sex position more like doggy-style sex positions, but it will still feel fantastic.

The angle of the leapfrog sex position makes for super-deep penetration that both partners will enjoy. It can also have the effect of making the vagina feel shorter so that male partners with smaller penises will feel bigger when he’s inside. The female partner can intensify this effect even more by keeping her legs closer together so that penetration feels even tighter. The leapfrog sex position also can better stimulate the G-spot as many rear entry sex positions do. The G-spot is part of the clitoral network in the vagina that can produce intense orgasms when stimulated. In most women, the G-spot is said to be located in the upper front inner wall of the vagina. Rear entry sex positions like the leapfrog sex position have the potential to hit the G-spot because of the angle of the male partner’s penis as he penetrates his partner from behind. It’s worth playing around with positioning in rear entry sex positions because a slight shift could make all the difference in hitting it just right. Placing pillows beneath the female partner’s lower belly might help change positioning and provide more comfort.

Tips for Doing the Leapfrog Sex Position

When doing the leapfrog sex position or any sex positions, it’s essential to check in with your partner to make sure they’re comfortable. While deep penetration is generally a good feeling, sometimes it can cause pain during sex for some women. If that’s the case, stop immediately. Sometimes switching up the angle of the female partner’s hips or having the male partner do more shallow, slower thrusts during sex positions will solve the problem. If not, switch sex positions entirely. For those who love the deep penetration in the leapfrog sex position, don’t be surprised if you hear some strange noises. Sex positions like the leapfrog can often lead to air being sucked into the vagina. Although completely harmless, it might throw you off. It’s completely natural and nothing to be embarrassed about but possibly something to think about if you prefer less noisy sex positions.

The male partner may find squatting or kneeling in the leapfrog sex position uncomfortable after a while. He should feel free to switch up his stance by having his partner scoot to the edge of the bed, so he’s able to stand instead. He will still be able to thrust into her from a standing position, potentially more comfortably. However, this might change up the level of penetration he can get. If the female partner wants the ability to press herself back onto her partner’s penis, she can push her hands against the headboard or wall. This will give her more leverage if she prefers to control penetration in the leapfrog sex position. She’s also free to use her hands to reach down and play with her clitoris if she needs help orgasming. Most women need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm. She can achieve this by using her hands to do it herself or introducing her preferred sex toy to help her out. This, plus the possibility of her partner stimulating her G-spot, can lead to super-intense pleasure.

But if that’s not enough for the female partner to get her kicks, the leapfrog sex position provides a perfect set-up for adding in some kink. You and your partner can turn the leapfrog sex position into rough, dominant sex by restraining the female partner’s hands either in front of her or behind her. Get a pair of handcuffs or find something to tie her wrists together with. Any form of bondage will add to the submissive versus dominant power play that many couples enjoy in sex positions. The male partner has complete control in the leapfrog sex position, so he is already dominant. However, he can add to that dynamic more by introducing light ass smacking or gently pulling on his partner’s hair. The male partner can also restrain his partner’s hands by grabbing and pulling her arms back behind her. You should do this with a bit of caution though, as pulling back too hard could be painful. While the leapfrog sex position is great on its own, if it’s not working for you or you want to try something similar, then check out some of the identical sex positions below.

Similar Sex Positions

Frog Leap Sex Position

You may have just done a double-take but rest assured that it is not a typo. There is a frog leap sex position as well as a leapfrog sex position. They are two different sex positions that both look like frogs leaping. So, how do these sex positions differ? In the frog leap sex position, the female partner looks like the amphibian about to jump. She does this by squatting low on top of the bed and leaning forward slightly so that her palms are resting on the bed out in front of her, holding her weight. The male partner will then kneel behind her and penetrate her. The frog leap position may be best on a sturdier surface than a bed as it will require the female partner to balance herself while her partner thrusts in and out of her. She should also experiment with how far apart she positions her hands and feet to help her balance.

Additionally, the male partner can grab hold of her waist or thighs while he thrusts. This will help his female partner balance as well as give him more leverage for harder thrusts. The male partner can also switch up his position during the frog leap by standing rather than kneeling. To do this, he will get into a low squat position and enter his partner while she squats in front of him. To help her partner penetrate her more efficiently, the female partner can lean forward more so that her butt is higher in the air. This may provide an even deeper angle for penetration.

Teaspoon Position

 The teaspoon position makes a quick transition from the leapfrog sex position. It is very similar to the spoon sex position in that they both allow for tons of intimacy. The teaspoon is much more romantic than the leapfrog sex position but will still get your heart racing. To switch from the leapfrog sex position to doing the teaspoon, the female partner has to lift her torso off the bed and kneel on her knees against her partner. The male partner will be kneeling behind her and thrusting with tight, intimate strokes. Though penetration may not get as deep in this position, it still can stimulate the G-spot as the male partner’s penis will be right up against his partner’s front vaginal wall. Unlike the leapfrog sex position, the teaspoon sex position allows for intimate caressing the female partner’s body and neck. The male partner can wrap his arms around his partner’s waist and gently play with her breasts. He can also reach down and rub her clitoris or plant gentle kisses along her neck. The female partner has the option of reaching back and caressing the back of her partner’s neck if she wants to as well. While most of the thrusting is still up to the male partner in this position, the female partner can feel free to glide up and down along her partner’s penis while she is on her knees.

Turtle Position

 The turtle sex position and the leapfrog sex position vary only slightly from one another. The only difference is the placement of the female partner’s hands. Instead of resting on her forearms in front of her, she will wrap her arms around the back of her thighs. This will, in turn, make her back look more rounded, much like the shell of a turtle looks. Wrapping her arms around her thighs changes up the angle of penetration just slightly. It makes for a tighter feel, which men with smaller penises will take advantage of. The turtle position is also meant to feel more submissive since the female partner cannot move much. Couples can take the submissive factor to another level by using restraints to tie the female partner’s hands around her thighs. The turtle makes for a great sex position tied up if you and your partner are comfortable with bondage. This will limit the female partner’s movements even more, which can feel vulnerable and therefore exciting.

Basset Hound

 The basset hound is a variation of both the doggy and leapfrog sex position. To do it, begin in the same position as you would the leapfrog sex position. The female partner should then spread her legs wider to get her hips and her chest even lower towards the bed. Her partner will enter her from behind in a kneeling position. As with any rear entry sex positions, alignment is essential for receiving ultimate pleasure. Play around with your positioning by having the female partner lower or raise her hips depending on what feels best. The male partner can also decide whether he wants to kneel, crouch, or stand behind his partner as he enters her. The basset hound allows for deep penetration, which may or may not be ideal for some couples. This position can make for good anal sex if you and your partner like to switch things up. Remember to switch condoms before you go from the anus back to the vagina, as not doing so can transfer bacteria and spread infections. While experimenting with anal sex positions, the male partner has the option of fingering his partner’s vagina while adding to her pleasure. Couples could also experiment with double penetration by adding a sex toy to penetrate the female vaginally while her partner is penetrating her anally. Before doing any anal penetration, be sure to use plenty of lube. While the vagina is self-lubricating, the anus is not. Not using lube while doing anal sex positions could be very painful for the receiver.

 Doggy Sex Position

 Last but not least on our list of leapfrog sex position variations in the doggy sex position. While nearly all of the above sex positions mentioned are some version of doggy sex (including the leapfrog sex position), they are not quite the same as the “OG” sex position that inspired them all. As in the leapfrog sex position, the doggy position requires the female partner to be on her hands and knees as her partner enters her from behind. She can make the position feel sexier by arching her back and lifting her butt more in the air towards her partner. The male partner has the freedom to grab her ass or lightly spank it as he goes hardcore with his thrusting. Many couples like the doggy sex position because of its animalistic and straightforward style. So many people like it that it is the favorite sex position among both men and women in the US and UK. We’re sure this has to do with the doggy sex position’s deep penetration ability as well as its raunchy, barbaric feel.

Men love doggy sex positions and similar sex positions because it puts them in the dominating role that gives them total control. He also gets an incredible view of his partner’s butt, which very few men would object to seeing. Women love doing it doggy style because it allows for deep penetration and primal feelings of submission. It may not be ideal for male partners with smaller penises as he will be limited in how deep he can penetrate his partner. However, the female partner can make him feel bigger by keeping her legs closer together for a tighter fit. Doggy-style sex is excellent for adding in elements of BDSM such as hair pulling, spanking, or bondage. Because of its different positioning, doggy sex is ideal for rough sex than the leapfrog sex position would be. This is because the doggy sex position does not require as much balance on the part of either the male or female partner. In fact, the doggy position is one of the easier positions to get into. It’s also a good transition position for when the leapfrog sex position gets tiring. Which, if the male partner is squatting the whole time, will happen sooner rather than later. For that reason, the doggy sex position is a good way to end the night with a bang. Also, it’s not named after your favorite childhood activity, so you won’t be ruining any fond memories. It may, however, be named after your favorite animal. Sorry about that.
