SIM & TAST Overview

Understanding Comfort and Positioning for Plus-Size Bodies

Plus-size individuals face specific positioning challenges that most intimacy guides fail to address honestly. The primary challenges are: weight distribution during partner-on-top positions, reduced hip mobility in certain angles, abdominal volume affecting penetration depth and angle, and joint comfort during sustained positions.

These are mechanical challenges with practical solutions — not permanent limitations. The styles in this SIM & TAST guide are selected specifically because they distribute weight effectively, require minimal joint strain, accommodate abdominal volume comfortably and give the plus-size partner full control of depth, rhythm and angle.

Every body is capable of deeply pleasurable sex. The goal of this guide is to remove the trial and error and give plus-size couples direct access to what works — so they can focus entirely on pleasure and connection rather than logistics.

The Side Spoon

Best for: both plus-size partners — zero body weight pressure, maximum closeness

What It Is

Both partners lie on their sides in a spooning position — giving partner behind the receiving partner. This is one of the most effective positions for plus-size couples because no body weight is placed on top of the other partner at any point. Both partners are fully supported by the mattress throughout, eliminating the primary comfort concern of weight distribution.

How to Position

1Both partners lie on their sides facing the same direction — receiving partner in front. Bodies should be close, with the giving partner’s chest against the receiving partner’s back.
2Receiving partner draws their top knee forward slightly and places it on a firm pillow. This external hip rotation opens the hip angle and allows comfortable rear entry without straining either partner’s joints.
3The giving partner enters from behind at a gentle angle. Movement is slow and rhythmic — generated by both partners’ hips working together. The giving partner’s lower arm can wrap around the receiving partner’s waist or chest for closeness.

Why It Works for Plus-Size Bodies

Side-lying positions are biomechanically ideal for plus-size couples because the mattress bears all body weight for both partners simultaneously. There is no risk of the giving partner’s weight causing discomfort, no need for arm-propping, and no hip strain from one partner trying to hold themselves above the other. The position is also naturally depth-limiting — providing comfortable, pleasurable sensation without the risk of uncomfortable deep penetration.

Special Note from O.N.A

A firm, supportive mattress makes a significant difference in the quality of this position for plus-size couples. A mattress that sinks too much under both partners’ weight creates a valley effect that pushes both partners toward the centre — reducing hip mobility. If the mattress is soft, placing a folded firm blanket or thin yoga mat under the receiving partner’s hip area provides a more stable surface for the hip-opening movement.

The Edge Supported

Best for: plus-size receiving partner — bed edge creates natural hip support

What It Is

The receiving partner lies on their back at the edge of the bed with their hips at the very edge and feet resting on the floor or on the giving partner’s hips. The giving partner stands between their legs. This position is particularly effective for plus-size receiving partners because the bed edge provides firm support directly under the hips — the area that typically needs the most structural support.

How to Position

1Receiving partner moves to the edge of the bed — hips at the very edge, legs hanging off the side. A pillow under the lower back may add comfort for some individuals. The firm bed edge directly under the hips provides a natural, stable support surface.
2Receiving partner’s feet rest on the floor, on the giving partner’s hips or on a low stool depending on the bed height. The floor option provides the receiving partner with additional leverage and stability.
3Giving partner stands between the receiving partner’s legs. The standing position means the giving partner bears none of their own weight on the receiving partner at any point — making this position completely pressure-free for the receiving partner.

Why It Works for Plus-Size Bodies

For plus-size receiving partners, the primary issue in lying-down positions is often that the natural softness of the abdomen and hip area changes the penetration angle in ways that reduce depth and sensation. The edge of the bed provides a firm, neutral surface directly under the hips that corrects this — creating a stable base from which the receiving partner can tilt their hips to find their optimal angle without relying on pillows that shift or compress during movement.

Special Note from O.N.A

Bed height is an important variable in this position. The ideal bed height brings the receiving partner’s hips to approximately the giving partner’s standing hip level. A standard bed of 24 to 26 inches typically works well for average-height giving partners. If the bed is too low, a thick folded blanket under the receiving partner’s hips raises them to the correct height. If the bed is too high, the giving partner standing on a yoga mat or thin platform lowers the height differential.

Style 03 — Seated

The Seated Embrace

Best for: both plus-size partners — equal weight distribution, full emotional connection

What It Is

The giving partner sits on a firm chair or at the bed edge with feet flat on the floor. The receiving partner sits on top facing them, straddling. Both partners are fully supported by their own seated weight — no partner is carrying the other’s body weight at any point. This is one of the most physically comfortable positions for plus-size couples of any size combination.

How to Position

1Giving partner sits on a sturdy, armless chair with feet flat on the floor and a fully upright posture. The chair must be completely stable — test it before beginning. Alternatively, sit at the firm edge of a bed.
2Receiving partner straddles, facing the giving partner. Their feet may reach the floor on either side of the chair — if so, this gives them significant movement leverage. If feet do not reach, they rest on the chair rungs or the giving partner’s thighs.
3Both partners embrace — arms around each other for stability and closeness. The receiving partner controls depth and rhythm by lifting and lowering their hips or by a rocking motion. The giving partner’s hands on the receiving partner’s hips or waist assist with rhythm and provide additional support.

Why It Works for Plus-Size Bodies

The seated position distributes each partner’s weight onto the chair and floor rather than onto each other. For plus-size couples where weight-on-body concerns have previously limited position choices, this is a complete solution — both partners feel physically supported and comfortable, allowing them to focus entirely on pleasure and emotional connection rather than physical logistics.

Special Note from O.N.A

A sturdy wooden dining chair without arms is the ideal piece of furniture for this position. Plastic chairs may flex under combined weight — always test first. If using a bed edge, ensure the mattress is firm enough to provide a stable base. The giving partner placing a thin firm cushion on their lap before the receiving partner sits can both add comfort and raise the receiving partner’s hips slightly to improve the entry angle.

Style 04 — Rear Entry

The Modified Doggy

Best for: plus-size receiving partner — abdominal volume does not affect depth or angle

What It Is

A kneeling rear-entry position where the receiving partner is on all fours or supported on their forearms and knees. The giving partner kneels behind. This is one of the most body-type-neutral positions available — abdominal volume does not affect penetration angle or depth because entry is from the rear, and both partners support their own weight independently.

How to Position

1Receiving partner kneels on the bed on all fours. For plus-size individuals who find wrist strain an issue, transitioning to forearms instead of hands reduces joint pressure significantly. A pillow under the forearms adds cushioning.
2The receiving partner’s knees should be hip-width apart or slightly wider — a wider stance lowers the hips and changes the entry angle. Experiment with knee width to find the most comfortable depth and sensation for both partners.
3Giving partner kneels behind. Hands rest on the receiving partner’s hips or lower back for depth control and rhythm. The giving partner kneels slightly lower than the receiving partner’s hips — adjust by spreading their own knees wider if needed.

Why It Works for Plus-Size Bodies

Rear-entry positions are particularly effective for plus-size couples because abdominal volume — which can affect front-entry depth and angle in face-to-face positions — is not a factor from the rear. The kneeling position also means both partners are on the same surface level, making alignment straightforward and independent of standing height differences.

Special Note from O.N.A

For the receiving partner who finds sustained kneeling on all fours tiring, transitioning to forearms and resting the upper body’s weight on a stack of firm pillows maintains the same rear-entry angle with significantly less upper body strain. This allows the position to be sustained comfortably for longer without fatigue affecting the experience.

Style 05 — Hip Elevation

The Pillow Lift

Best for: plus-size receiving partner — corrects angle affected by abdominal volume

What It Is

A modified missionary where the receiving partner’s hips are elevated on a firm wedge bolster or thick pillow stack. This elevation corrects the penetration angle that abdominal volume naturally modifies in flat missionary — restoring deep, satisfying sensation that many plus-size individuals have never experienced in missionary positions.

How to Position

1Place a firm wedge bolster or stack of folded firm pillows under the receiving partner’s hips — not the lower back. The elevation should raise the hips 5 to 8 inches off the mattress. The receiving partner lies back on top with their lower back and hips on the bolster.
2The hip elevation tilts the pelvis upward toward the giving partner — this is the critical correction. In flat missionary, abdominal volume pushes the lower abdomen outward and creates a downward pelvic tilt that reduces depth. The pillow elevation counteracts this tilt directly.
3Giving partner kneels or lies between the receiving partner’s legs. The elevated hips now present an upward-tilted target rather than a flat or downward one — increasing depth, improving sensation and making sustained movement more comfortable for both partners.

Why It Works for Plus-Size Bodies

The pelvic tilt correction achieved by hip elevation is the single most effective positional adjustment available to plus-size receiving partners in lying-down positions. It addresses directly what abdominal volume creates — a downward pelvic angle — and reverses it. Many plus-size individuals who have never found missionary satisfying report transformative results from this single adjustment.

Special Note from O.N.A

The Liberator Wedge is a purpose-designed sex positioning bolster that is particularly effective for this style. It is firmer than household pillows, maintains its shape under movement and is available in various heights to suit different body proportions. It is a worthwhile investment for plus-size couples who find the pillow version effective but inconsistent. Folded firm blankets are a good free alternative to test the concept before investing.

Style 06 — Standing

The Standing Hold

Best for: both plus-size partners — standing positions remove bed compression entirely

What It Is

A standing rear-entry position where the receiving partner stands and leans forward with both hands against a wall, and the giving partner stands directly behind. Standing positions are highly effective for plus-size couples because neither partner’s weight is borne by the other at any point — both stand independently on their own feet, and the wall provides full structural support for the receiving partner.

How to Position

1Receiving partner stands facing a wall, approximately one arm’s length away. Both palms flat against the wall at shoulder height. Feet hip-width apart or slightly wider for a stable, balanced base.
2Receiving partner leans forward onto their arms — creating a forward body angle that naturally opens the hip angle for comfortable rear entry. The degree of lean controls depth: more upright for shallower, more forward for deeper.
3Giving partner stands directly behind. For plus-size couples where abdominal volume creates a gap in standing rear-entry, the receiving partner bending their knees slightly and adopting a wider stance closes this gap and creates full contact between partners.

Why It Works for Plus-Size Bodies

Standing positions eliminate the mattress compression factor entirely — a significant advantage for plus-size couples where deep mattress sinkage affects lying positions. Both partners stand on a firm floor, both support their own weight independently, and the wall provides the receiving partner with total structural confidence throughout. The adjustability of the lean angle and knee bend makes this one of the most customisable positions for different body proportions.

Special Note from O.N.A

For plus-size couples where abdominal volume creates a challenge in full standing rear-entry, the receiving partner placing one foot on a low stool or step while leaning forward changes the hip angle sufficiently to create full contact. This single adjustment — one foot elevated — is a practical solution that many plus-size couples have never been told about. The receiving partner can experiment with the height of the step to find their optimal angle.
