The 10 Best Tied Up Sex Positions
There's nothing wrong with letting loose a little in the bedroom. Over the past two decades (and especially since the release of "Fifty Shades of Grey" in 2011), the world of BDSM has gone from taboo to practically mainstream. In fact, a recent study found that "93% of men and 96% of women have fantasized about some aspect of BDSM before," and at least 50% have tried it in real life. It's hard to deny how arousing it can be to have your partner tie you up (or vice versa) to explore the Dominant/Submissive power structure and the vulnerability that bondage engenders.
This blog covers our 10 favorite bondage sex positions to try, but before you start tying your partner to the headboard, we recommend checking out some of our other blogs if you're new to bondage.

In this blog, we break down all of Pure Romance's sensory play products, what they are, and how to use them—including some that would be perfect pairings for our bondage sex positions below.
Mission: Possible
Difficulty level: Beginner
Materials: Wrist and ankle restraints
Instructions: Just as missionary is one of the easiest positions to perform during sex, Mission: Possible is probably the easiest to master for those new to bondage. Simply put, Partner 1 lies on their back with their wrists held above their head, legs spread, and ankles secured to the foot of the bed. Then, Partner 2 positions themselves on top, missionary style.
Tip: Our Bed, Bondage, and Beyond product is perfect for this position! Slip the adjustable straps under any mattress and attach the soft handcuffs to the head and foot of the bed for a sexy, stretched-out position.
The Cowgirl
Difficulty level: Beginner
Materials: Wrist and ankle restraints
Instructions: As in "Mission: Possible," partner 1 lies on their back, held by their wrists and ankles. The other partner straddles partner 1, facing forward or backward.
Tip: Every cowgirl needs tools to get her bucking bronco in shape. Try Hits The Spot to take control when things get heated.
The Naughty Frog
Difficulty level: Beginner
Materials: Wrist restraints
Instructions: Partner 1 lies face down with their wrists tied above their head. Try Onix Handcuffs. Then, lift their hips with their knees bent and legs spread while partner enters from behind.
Tip: You can also use separate holds with a bar on each leg of partner 1 such as Bare It All to keep them open and completely free.
Dominant Dog
Difficulty level: Beginner
Materials: Wrist and ankle restraints
Instructions: Partner 1 will get into the same position as Freaky Frogger, on their knees with their hips facing upward. However, this time, tie their ankles together and hold their wrists behind their thighs, on either side of their ankles, while Partner 2 enters them from behind.
Tip: This is the perfect position for anal sex. Try an anal toy like Midnight Desire , which has four beads that allow you to gradually increase the intensity until you reach a spectacular finish.
Standing and Enjoying
Difficulty level: Intermediate
Materials: Wrist and ankle restraints
Instructions: Have partner 1 stand and bend at the waist. Then, with your feet shoulder-width apart, attach each wrist to its corresponding ankle. Partner 2 enters from behind.
Tip: Use two sets of our Onyx cuffs for this position: one for your right wrist and ankle, and one for your left wrist and ankle. Each cuff has removable fasteners so you can attach them not only to your wrists, but also to your ankles, the bed frame, and more.
The Hot Seat
Difficulty level: Intermediate
Materials: Wrist and ankle restraints, a chair
Instructions: Have partner 1 sit in a chair with their ankles tied to each front leg and their wrists tied behind their back. Partner 2 can penetrate, receive oral favors, arouse their partner with toys , or try an interrogation role-play.
Tip: Make the hot seat even more exciting by blindfolding partner 1 so that their other senses are heightened, even if they are unaware of what partner 2 has in store.
The Frequent Traveler
Difficulty level: Intermediate
Team: Frequent Flyer
Instructions: Attach the padded cuffs to your ankles and the padded support behind your neck, then adjust to the desired length.
Tip: When partner 2 enters between your legs, you can hold the seat to tilt partner 1's hips for maximum satisfaction and control.
The Sexy Spreader
Difficulty level: Advanced
Materials: Wrist ties
Instructions: Lying on your back, tie Partner 1's wrists out of the way and have him or her raise both legs in a V shape toward his or her head. Have Partner 2 enter from above, pushing his or her ankles back (as far as is comfortable) while penetrating.
Tip: To keep partner 1's legs over their head, try our Sexy Spreader , with adjustable straps for each ankle/calf to keep their legs spread wide apart.
Tongue Tied
Difficulty Level: Advanced
Materials: Fastening Ropes
Instructions: With partner 1 face down, tie their ankles together with their knees bent so they're close to their buttocks. Then, hold their wrists behind their backs and tie them together with their ankles tied. The wrists and ankles shouldn't touch; a comfortable length of rope will keep them separate, but secure.
Tip: While this is a great position for penetration for partner 2, try it with oral favors too! Give partner 1 a small amount of Great Head to keep their throat relaxed and ease gagging.
Over the Moon
Difficulty level: Advanced
Materials: Guy ropes, Chair
Instructions: Partner 1 lies face down on a chair with their knees flat on the floor. They hold each knee to the base of the two side legs of the chair and their upper arms to the other two.
Tip: To increase restraint and vulnerability, tie the wrists together or tie a rope to each ankle and bend them toward the thigh.
