40 Best BDSM Positions

This BDSM position is quite simple to do and a great starting point for bondage play. Simply lie on the bed in the missionary position.

Then, have your partner tie your wrists above you head, onto the bed frame or corner restraint – if using an under the mattress system. Or you can have your wrists tied to each corner of the bed.

Not only is this a great tied up sex position, it leaves your chest open and exposed for sensual nipple play.

We all know the famous Cowgirl sex position. But did you know you turn up the heat by tying your partner down?

Simply tie the partner with the penis or strap-on, spread eagle, to each corner of the bed. Then, climb on and ride into the sunset!

Another beginner bondage position to try is called Leap Frog. To do this tied up position, lie on the bed with your chest and stomach on the mattress and rear in the air.

Next, have your partner either tie or handcuff your wrists together and over your head. This gives your partner full access to your butt and vulva for all sorts of sensual fun.

To execute the Head Over Heels bondage position, you’ll need a bit of flexibility and some balance. First, bend over and grab your feet, ankles or knees – depending on how flexible you are.

Then, have your partner tie each wrist to each ankle (or knee), staying in the bent over position. Finally, your partner grabs you at the waist and serves you long and hard.

And keep in mind, this position works for all bodies with a penis or strap-on and an eager hole.

Executing the Pinball Wizard position is another easy and exciting one. Have your partner lie down on the bed, with their feet flat on the mattress and rear off the bed, creating a human bridge.

Next, handcuff or tie their wrists together above their heads. Now you can get between their legs and penetrate them with your penis, a strap-on or even a sex toy!

For this bondage position, you’ll need a straight back, sturdy chair. Now, have your partner take a seat while you bind their arms behind the chair and their ankles to the front chair legs.

And, if your chair happens to have cross bars, they are perfect for shorter folks to stand on.

Who doesn’t love an early morning or late-night spoon? But, make it even more delicious by handcuffing or binding the little spoon’s wrists together.

First, have the partner with a penis or strap-on kneel on the bed, then sit back on their legs. Next, bind their wrists together, behind their back.

Now, turn your back to your tied-up partner, back up and straddle their lap with your legs on either side of theirs.

Now, pull your partner to the edge of the bed and lift their legs up, resting them on one shoulder. Then, penetrate them, moving their legs from one shoulder to the next.

This bondage position is similar to the Leap Frog position, only with a different bondage point. You start by having your partner lie down on the bed with their chest flat and rear slightly raised.

Next, bind your partner’s wrists behind their back and you can enter them from behind. Also, you can have a bit of fun by using a dildo or anal toy as they are bound and helpless.

For this position, you’ll need an under-mattress restraint set or can utilize the headboard and footboard of the bed. Have your partner lie on the bed with arms outstretched toward each corner of the headboard.

Then, tie each wrist to the headboard or bed frame. Next, spread your partner’s legs into a V and gently lift them up, slowly pushing them toward the headboard as you enter them.

How about a little Whoopie Pie for dessert? And fear not, this recipe is a simple one and will fulfill your wildest fantasies.

The Futomomo Leg tie is a beautiful Shibari rope tie that can be time consuming. But I guarantee, your partner will not be able to get loose.

If you want to learn this beautiful tie, there are YouTube videos available to show you how. However, since our dolls cannot squeeze their legs together as needed, I used an alternative way of binding.

Basically, have your partner lie on their back with their knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Bring their heel up to their bottom so that their thigh and calf are touching.

Next, tied their leg in that position either using the Futomomo technique or by binding them at the ankle, mid-calf and just below the knee. Then, repeat on the other leg.

Now, you have your partner in a position that renders them unable to walk away while you find exciting ways to tease and pleasure them.

The Box Tie bondage position renders your partner unable to use their upper body, while moving the chest forward and jutting the breasts forward. Now, in order to execute this BDSM position, you’ll need to tie your partner’s wrists behind their back.

Next, run a length of rope, tape or restraint strap across the upper chest and arms, to the back. Then, do the same under the chest.

Finally, tie a vertical rope over the chest ties in the back, connecting it to the wrist ties.

The Ball Tie literally curls your partner into a ball, making it impossible for them to move without your assistance. To do this BDSM position, have your partner lie down, pulling their knees to their chest, as in the fetal position.

Secure a rope around their upper back, arms and knees. Tie the ankles together as well.

Then, have your partner wrap their arms around their knees so that you can bind their wrists together, assisting them in holding the fetal position.

Lastly, run a rope around the lower back, around their sides and secure in front of the shins. Also, you can add a gag to this position, rendering your partner unable to speak.

Once the Ball Tie is complete, you can tease your partner with a vibrator or position them on their side for penetration.

The Hog Tie bondage position is fantastic for teasing, as it keeps your partner from being able to use their hands or legs. First, have your partner lie down on their stomach.

Second, tie their wrists behind their back. Third, tie their ankles together.

Next, run a rope through the wrist ties, run it down to the ankle ties and do the same. Now, here’s where it gets fun!

Pull your partner’s legs up, toward their wrists and tie the rope wherever you deem the most comfortable or uncomfortable.

The next BDSM position is called the Crab and leaves your partner’s legs wide open for all sorts of naughty fun!

Have your partner sit down with their knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Then, have them draw their heel in, getting as close to their bottom as possible.

For instance, like the fetal position, but sitting.

Next, bind each leg around the ankle and thigh, shin and thigh and finally, around the knee.

Then, bind each wrist to the corresponding thigh. And you’ll clearly see why this is called the Crab position.

The sexy spoon position gives you all of the sensual body contact as spooning, with some bondage sprinkled in. First, have your partner lay on their side and draw their upper leg up, aligning their ankle with the knee of the bottom leg.

Then, tie the knee and ankle together. Next, wrap some rope around the upper thigh and secure it.

Do the same on the forearm of the upper arm. Then, tie the arm to the thigh using a length of rope.

Finally, handcuff of tie your partner’s wrists together in front of them. Now, your partner is tied up in the sexy spoon position and you can ravage them from head to toe.

The interrogation chair is the perfect bondage position to exert your dominance over your partner. First, using a straight back chair, have your partner sit down with their ankles aligned with the front, chair legs.

Next, secure their ankles to the chair legs. Then, tie their wrists together, behind the chair back.

Also, if your chair happens to have arms, you can tie both the wrists and forearms down.

Finally, now that your partner is aptly secured, tease, tantalize and gently torture them, as they have no means of escaping.

Another creative way to use a chair is to try the Reverse Chair bondage position. Now, to do this, your partner will need to straddle the chair seat, backwards, leaning forward with their chest against the chair back.

What this does is places their bottom just over the edge of the chair’s seat, creating perfect access for penetration.

Next, tie each ankle to the chair legs and secure your partner’s wrists together and behind their back. Now you have the perfect position for sensual, tied-up, anal sex or pegging.

One of the most vulnerable bondage positions is the Spread Eagle. And you can execute this position by using your headboard, the legs of your bed frame or by using an under-the-mattress restraint kit.

Now, have your partner lay on the bed with each hand and foot pointing to the adjacent corner of the bed. Next, simply bind each wrist and ankle to the bed frame.

Finally, you have full, head-to-toe access to your partner’s body for hot wax, feathering, flogging or even penetration.

The Yogi position involves a bit of flexibility, so you may want to have your partner stretch before trying this one. First, have your partner lie on the bed with their head close to the headboard.

Then, have them spread their legs to form a V shape. Gently, push each leg up and toward their shoulders, keeping them as straight as they can.

Next, tie each ankle to the bed post. Or, if they need a bit of help holding the position comfortably, you can also secure them around each thigh.

Yes, this is an incredible position for full genital access, penetration, sex toy play and oral stimulation.

That way, you can pull them to the floor and take full advantage of the rest of their body.

The Wide Open position combines the Yogi, with wrists restrained, leaving the entire front of the body wide open for your pleasure.

First, have your partner lie on their back with their legs straight and open in a V shape. Raise each leg up and push back as far as their body will allow.

This tied-up position takes a bit of time and practice to get, as you can see by my horrible rendition. However, done with patience, it is a beautiful bondage position.

First off, begin by finding your rope’s center point and place it behind your partner’s neck. Next, loop it down to their waist, and around their back.

Now, once you’ve made your initial loops, it’s just a matter of continuing them until you’ve restrained their arms, legs, and so forth. However, be sure not to tie or make any knots until the very end.

This position may be a little uncomfortable for some. So, if your partner isn’t into the pain, double up a towel or use a thin cushion.

Next, tie their wrists together followed by tying each arm to the chair legs. Then, do the same with each of their legs – usually around the knee area.
