The Bridge SupportSex Position
One in bridge, other on top.
The Bridge Support is a position in which one partner holds a bridge shape and the other is positioned on top of or against them, supporting and being supported. It combines the arch of the Bridge with a closer, partnered feel.
📋 How to do it
- 1The partner who will bridge lies on their back, knees bent, feet flat, and lifts the hips into a bridge.
- 2The other partner positions themselves over or against them, supporting their own weight on the arms.
- 3Support the bridging partner's hips or lower back with a hand or pillow.
- 4Move slowly, and lower the bridge to rest whenever you need.
✨ Tips for comfort & connection
A pillow under the lower back helps the bridging partner relax, and the top partner can adjust weight so the bridge does not carry too much. Short stretches work better than holding the bridge for long.
⚠️ Safety & comfort
The bridge loads the neck, shoulders and lower back, so keep the neck relaxed and the load light. Skip it if you have back, neck or wrist issues, and stop at any strain.
💡 Tips
Glute strength.
✅ Benefits
The bridge support position creates unique pressure and angle. The athletic bridge adds intensity to the experience.
🔄 Variations
