The T-Square Sex Position: A New Angle and Both Hands Free

You're lying on your back with your knees bent and your legs draped over their hips. They're on their side, at right angles to you, and they've got one hand free and a perfect view of your face. When they start moving, the angle's completely different from anything you've tried before, and it's hitting a whole new place.

The T-square suits it when one of you wants to lie on your back and the other would rather lie on their side. There's more space between your upper bodies than with spooning or missionary, nobody's holding anything up, and you've both got hands free.

How to do it

The person receiving lies on their back, with their knees bent and legs comfortably apart. The other person lies on their side at a right angle, with their hips close and their legs under the receiver's raised knees. From above, you'd look like a rough letter T. Your legs need somewhere comfy to rest, so shift until they do.

Names vary between guides, so describe what you mean. Our sex position names guide helps if you've both been looking at different diagrams.

You'll need room across the bed

This uses more mattress width than you'd think. Move away from the edge before you settle in. A pillow can support a leg or your head, but it shouldn't force your knee any higher just to make it work. If you spend the whole time stopping a foot from sliding off the bed, change your setup.

All that spare room's for your hands

This is where the T-square wins. There's plenty of room for a hand or a small clitoral vibrator, either yours or theirs. A Satisfyer Bullet Groove is easy to hold from either side, and you can watch each other the whole time. Their free hand can do a lot of other things as well.

Keep the toy easy to stop. The angle won't guarantee a particular depth or feeling, so start with small movements, use plenty of lube and give each other feedback. Our guide to controlling depth might help.

Separate before a big change

Because your bodies point in different directions, one person rolling over can twist a leg or change everything unexpectedly. So pause and move apart before you change position. If you want more body contact and easier kissing, spooning may suit you better.

Keep the new angle if it feels great. If it doesn't, say so. "My hip hates this" is useful feedback, and it's only a quick shuffle to something else.
