The HandstandSex Position
Acrobatic handstand access.
The Handstand is a highly acrobatic position in which one partner supports themselves in a handstand while the other holds their legs. It is more of a gymnastic challenge than a relaxed position, and it is only suitable for very fit, practiced partners.
📋 How to do it
- 1The partner doing the handstand should be able to hold one comfortably on their own, ideally with a spotter or a wall.
- 2They place hands on a soft, stable surface and kick up, while the other partner catches and holds their legs or hips.
- 3The standing partner keeps knees slightly bent and a firm grip, staying steady.
- 4Hold only very briefly and come down slowly together.
✨ Tips for comfort & connection
Practice the handstand separately first, against a wall. Use a soft mat, keep it brief, and agree on a signal to come down. Strong communication and trust matter more than staying up longer.
⚠️ Safety & comfort
This is high-risk: falls can injure the neck, wrists and head, and blood rushes to the head. Skip it if you have neck, wrist, blood pressure or eye issues, and never try it without solid handstand experience.
💡 Tips

🔄 Variations
