What is the "prostate pivot" and how can it be achieved in common positions?

The prostate pivot is a technique used to better target the male G-spot, located a few inches inside the rectum on the front wall. In the missionary position, this angle is achieved by having the bottom partner lift their legs or rest their knees on the top partner's shoulders. Using a firm pillow under the lower back or hips acts as a booster seat, tilting the pelvis to allow the penis to curve naturally toward the sensitive prostate area while also facilitating easier eye contact.

What are "sides" and what kind of sexual activities do they engage in?

"Sides" are men who prefer non-penetrative sexual encounters, a preference that is more common than many realize. Instead of anal sex, sides focus on intimacy through activities such as "frot" (penis-to-penis rubbing), mutual masturbation, oral play, and the use of toys like vibrators or prostate massagers. These activities allow for high levels of physical stimulation and connection without the specific preparation or risks associated with penetration.

How do sexual health strategies like PrEP and PEP differ in protecting partners?

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily medication used as a proactive "shield" to block HIV infection before exposure occurs. In contrast, PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is an emergency measure taken within 72 hours after a potential exposure, such as a condom breaking. While both are highly effective against HIV, neither protects against other STIs like gonorrhea or syphilis, which is why regular testing every three to twelve months remains essential.

Why is lubrication considered a critical safety factor in anal sex?

The rectal lining is thin, delicate, and prone to small tears if there is friction. Using high-quality water-based or silicone-based lubricants prevents these tears, which are significant because they can increase the risk of STI transmission. Proper lubrication ensures the experience transitions from potentially painful to pleasurable while maintaining the structural integrity of the body's tissues.

What are the health risks associated with "rimming" and how can they be mitigated?

Rimming, or anilingus, carries a high risk for infections like Hepatitis A and Shigella, a bacterial intestinal infection caused by microscopic amounts of feces entering the mouth. To mitigate these risks, partners are encouraged to shower before sex to ensure hygiene and to use barriers like dental dams. Additionally, getting vaccinated for Hepatitis A and B is recommended as a fundamental step for anyone active in the community.

Mastering the Classics of Pleasure

0:00

Lena: You know, Miles, I was reading that even for people who think they’ve done it all—from the classic missionary to the "helicopter"—there are always new ways to maneuver. But here is the kicker: a recent survey of a popular cruising app found that despite all the wild options out there, the most sought-after positions in 2025 are actually the old standbys like doggy style and missionary.

0:22

Miles: It’s so true! They are classics for a reason, but the mistake people make is thinking "classic" means "basic." In reality, small adjustments to your pelvic angle or just propping a pillow under your lower back can completely change the depth of penetration and hit that p-spot for maximum pleasure.

0:40

Lena: Right, it’s all about the physics of the "internal roadmap." I’m excited to get into the mechanics of how to actually execute these.

0:47

Miles: Exactly. So let's dive into the practical steps for mastering these positions while keeping things safe and smooth.
