The Deepthroat sex position is a fellatio oral sex position. This position gets its name because it makes deepthroating, the act of taking a penis or strap-on dildo deep into the throat, easier.
To get into the deepthroat position, the giving partner should lie face up on a bed, with their head hanging slightly off the edge. The penetrating partner walks to the end of the bed where their partner’s face is. From this position, the penetrating partner can slide their penis or strap-on into their partner’s mouth and down their throat. The penetrating partner may also reach around to stimulate the giving partner's genitals with their hands or with sex toys. For giving partners with vulvas, this position puts them in the ideal spot to get the most out of a rabbit vibrator, like the Oona 8.75-Inch Thrill Multi-Function Rechargeable Waterproof Rabbit Vibrator from Spencer's.
The penetrating partner usually controls the speed and intensity of the fellatio by thrusting in and out of their partner’s mouth. However, the receiving partner can take a little control by placing their hands on their partner’s waist, thighs or hips. This contact can encourage thrusting that suits the receiving partner better.
The deepthroat position makes deep oral penetration easier because it aligns the receiving partner’s mouth and throat. Hanging the head off of the edge of the bed creates a straight tube from the mouth down the throat, which the penetrating partner can easily slide into.
The deepthroat position is also known as the throat swab position, because the penis or strap on swabs the throat, much like a Q-tip does in a medical test. It is also called the hanging back position.
