In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know about the full nelson sex position:

  How to Do the Full Nelson Sex Position Safely

Preparation is Key
Before trying the Full Nelson sex pose, communication is crucial. Set clear boundaries and establish a safe word to ensure a comfortable experience. Always start slow, especially if it’s your first time.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Starting Position (Reverse Cowgirl)
   The giver lies on their back with bent knees and flat feet for support.
   The receiver begins in the Reverse Cowgirl position, facing away from the giver.
   
   

2. Transition & Locking

   • The receiver slowly leans back onto the giver's chest.

   • The receiver pulls their knees toward their chest and spreads their legs into a V shape.

   • The giver wraps their arms around the receiver’s thighs, holding them in place.

   • If flexibility allows, the giver may lock their hands behind the receiver’s neck (though experts recommend skipping this step for safety).

3. Safety Grip (Recommended)
   The giver can simply hold the receiver’s thighs or knees, with the receiver's head resting on the giver's shoulder for comfort.

4. Penetration & Movement
   The giver begins thrusting, using their feet and hips for leverage. The receiver remains passive but may add small movements to enhance pleasure. Constant communication ensures both partners are comfortable.

  Why You Should Try the Full Nelson Sex Position

Deep Penetration

One of the main benefits of the Full Nelson is its ability to provide deep penetration.

• G-spot & A-spot Stimulation: The angle reaches the G-spot and A-spot, creating a potential for intense orgasms.

• Prostate Stimulation: In anal sex, this position offers excellent access for prostate stimulation.

Power Dynamics & BDSM Elements

The Full Nelson sex position brings BDSM elements into the mix.

• The giver enjoys a sense of control, while the receiver experiences vulnerability. This can create an exciting dynamic of dominance and submission.

New Sensations & Visual Stimulation

The Full Nelson also enhances the sensory experience by providing visual stimulation.

• The giver has a full view of the receiver’s body, which intensifies the emotional and physical connection.

Mental & Emotional Benefits

Adding challenge and novelty can improve long-term intimacy.

• Novelty & Playfulness: New experiences like this break up monotony, which can improve emotional intimacy. Sex therapist Casey Tanner notes that trying new things is key to maintaining excitement in a relationship.

  Stay Safe: Risks and How to Avoid Them

While Full Nelson can be thrilling, it’s important to be mindful of certain risks.

Key Risks:

1. Neck Injury
   The biggest risk is to the neck, especially with the neck lock. This can cause serious injury if not done properly.

2. Breathing Difficulties
   The receiver may have trouble breathing due to the pressure on their chest and neck.

3. Muscle Strain
   This position can strain the receiver’s legs, back, and neck muscles, especially for extended periods.

4. Penis Injury
   If balance is lost, the penis may bend, leading to potential injury.

Who Should Avoid It?

• Anyone with neck, back, or joint issues.

• Partners lacking flexibility or core strength.

• Partners with a significant height or weight difference may find it difficult to maintain the position.

Safety Measures

• No Neck Locking: Skip the neck lock and use a safer grip around the receiver’s thighs.

• Warm-Up: Stretch and prepare your body before attempting.

• Lubrication: Always use plenty of lubricant to prevent discomfort.

• Communication: Constantly check in with each other to ensure comfort and safety.

  Tips to Enhance Your Full Nelson Experience

To make your Full Nelson sex pose even better, here are some tips:

Communication Is Key

• Keep talking throughout the experience. Make sure both partners are comfortable and enjoying the moment.

Lubrication

• Use water-based or silicone-based lubricants to ensure smooth penetration and reduce discomfort.

Toys & Accessories

• Sex Toys: A long-handle vibrator (like the Magic Wand) can enhance clitoral stimulation.

• Restraints: Consider using thigh cuffs or soft ropes to keep the receiver’s legs in place without requiring too much physical effort.

Visual Stimulation

• Adding a mirror can enhance the visual aspect of this position, making the experience even more stimulating.

  Full Nelson Variations to Try

If the Full Nelson feels too difficult, here are some variations to try. These offer a safer, more comfortable experience while maintaining the excitement:

1. Safe & Easy Full Nelson
   Skip the neck lock and have the giver hold the receiver’s thighs. The receiver’s head rests comfortably on the giver's shoulder. This version reduces risk and is more accessible for most couples.
   
   

2. Bent Spoon
   Instead of lifting the receiver’s legs high, they bend their knees and rest their feet on the giver’s thighs. This is a simpler version that’s much easier on the body.
   
   

3. Pearly Gates / Flat Spooning
   The receiver lies flat on their back, almost spooning with the giver. The giver penetrates from behind. This version is far more comfortable and doesn’t require much flexibility.
   
   

4. Scarab (Feet Down Variant)
   The receiver places their feet on the bed, which allows them to lift their hips and actively move during penetration.
   
   

5. Legs Crossed
   The receiver crosses their legs at the ankles, creating a tighter fit and more friction for both partners.

6. Legs Together
   The receiver keeps their legs together, and the giver holds them closely, increasing the tightness and intensity of penetration.
   
   

7. The Power Thrust Finish
   The giver uses their elbows to lift the receiver’s hips higher, allowing for deeper and more powerful thrusts, perfect for a strong climax.

8. Standing Full Nelson
   For an intense challenge, try the standing variation. The receiver stands while the giver lifts their legs and locks them into place. This requires balance and strength.
   
   

9. Dog Meet Nelson
   Start from a standing doggy-style position. The receiver bends over, placing their hands on the floor, and the giver lifts them off the ground. This adds an extra challenge and increases the intensity.

10. Nelson’s Sandwich (Threesome Variant)
    This is a variation designed for three partners, with one partner performing Full Nelson while the other penetrates face-to-face. It’s a unique and intense way to explore multiple forms of penetration.
