To get into this position, the receiver lies on their back and raises one leg into the air and lays the other on the bed or floor. The giver then straddles the partner's lower leg and rests the raised leg against their shoulder. While holding onto the raised leg, the giver can then enter and thrust into their partner, anally or vaginally.

More About The Splitting Bamboo Position

One of the biggest advantages of this position is the fact that it allows for deep penetration. It also makes the clitoris much more accessible, which means that either partner can stimulate this area with their hands or a vibrator.

If this position gets too tiresome after a time, the receiver can lower their raised leg and lift the other leg onto their partner's other shoulder.
