Demystifying the Butter Churner Sex Position

The butter churner, also known as the squat thruster, is a sex position where the receiving partner lies on their back. They raise their legs overhead, similar to a shoulder stand, with ankles ideally reaching past their head.

The penetrating partner squats over them, entering from above. The thrusting motion resembles old-fashioned butter churning, giving the position its name. The penetrating partner controls the depth and rhythm.

While this might seem challenging, it’s doable with practice, flexibility, and communication. It can be a favorite sex position for those seeking adventure. Open communication between partners can also improve other sexual experiences, such as performing oral sex positions, including receiving oral sex, which may have never crossed your mind before. You may have preferences about the ideal length of your partner’s legs or whether or not your partner has a preference between oral sex or missionary position, but good communication can address that and more. Speaking of other positions you may prefer, did you know the standing sex associated with the Nelson position can involve having the partner behind with hands across your shoulders? Or that the partner can instead face you with your legs around them for the same angle and thrust?

Is the Butter Churner Really Possible?

The butter churner sex position can be tricky. It’s not a beginner move. The receiving partner needs core strength and flexibility to hold the shoulder stand-like position. The penetrating partner needs balance and control.

If you’re not a yoga master, don’t worry. Using a wall or the edge of the bed can help the receiving partner. Open communication is crucial for adjusting and ensuring both partners are comfortable. Just like with the pile driver sex position, start slow to avoid injury and ensure it’s right for you. While this position might be physically challenging for a long time, there is also a lot of stimulation. It also allows for some intimate moments.

Benefits of the Butter Churner Sex Position

Why try this acrobatic position? The butter churner sex position offers compelling perks, including deep penetration due to the angle and raised legs. This can lead to intense G-spot stimulation, adding excitement to your sex life. Speaking of excitement in the bedroom, do you have a favorite sex toy you have incorporated into intimacy before? While we will not delve into the use of them with the position we’re discussing, know there are other certified sex professionals like Madalaine Munro who have discussed those. She’s an internationally certified sex therapist and sexologist specializing in psychosexual and relationship therapy, somatic sexology, coaching, and education.

The rush of blood to the head (from being upside down) adds a thrill for some. However, if you’re prone to dizziness, this position might not be for you. Like other visually stimulating positions, this one fosters intimacy through face-to-face connection and eye contact. Sometimes this can be challenging to manage even for long-term couples, but it may be exactly what some need to have a good time together. Remember: you do not need to make any particular sound like when making butter – just enjoy the time together. Your privacy is your business. No matter if your partner or you have a certain fantasy you may have heard or learned of in various movies, if it’s not in line with your values, or does not make you feel safe, there is absolutely no need to do it.

Exploring Butter Churner Variations

If the classic butter churner seems daunting, try these variations. They offer some of the excitement while being more accessible. These positions are for when the woman lies on her back:

  • The Plow: This gentler version uses a pillow under the hips with legs extended, like the Plow Yoga Pose. It offers openness and exposure without the full shoulder stand.
  • Happy Baby: Lie on your back with knees bent and pulled toward your chest, feet lifted. The partner enters from a kneeling position, supporting you by helping stretch your legs toward your head. This requires flexibility from both partners. If you are the receiving partner here, try having your partner hold your legs further towards your head to allow for deeper penetration. Your flexibility and that of your partner are limitations here. Make sure neither partner is forcing or feeling pain. Communication and feedback from each partner here is essential, as there’s no need to feel sore after making love. In this version, just be present, be patient, communicate, and avoid injury and potential discomfort as much as possible. Make sure you and your partner can easily get out of this variation with as little friction as possible, just like with old fashioned butter churners.
  • The Bridge: In the Bridge Yoga Pose (shoulders and feet on the ground, back arched), the penetrating partner kneels and enters from below. This offers a different angle for deep penetration and supports those not ready for legs fully overhead.

Troubleshooting and Tips for the Butter Churner

Given its challenging nature, here’s some guidance on the butter churner sex position. Consider incorporating the “butter-churning movement” into other positions that might work better for you, like the doggy style position.

  • Warm-up and Stretch: Yoga poses like Plow Pose are great preparation. Flexibility is essential for easier entry. If you’re the receiving partner, practicing this position on your own is essential as well. The reason why Plow pose can be practiced independently is that it gets you used to putting your legs behind you and helps with flexibility for the same. If it becomes uncomfortable in any way, make adjustments or take breaks as needed. Just like when one is making butter, having the right tool and the proper maintenance makes it more effective and helps with longevity. Consider these warm ups like “maintenance” of your physical abilities that allows you and your partner to experiment with various sex positions.
  • Communication is Key: Constant check-ins about comfort and adjustments are crucial. Clear communication is vital for a positive experience. It may not work as expected. For example, while this is considered an excellent option for G-spot stimulation, you may feel more clitoral stimulation in certain moments, so having communication available with you and your partner during any kind of intimate moment is useful here and beyond. This also includes how the ankles reach over your head. For one, your legs need to be as straight as possible to get them there with as little discomfort as possible, otherwise the more bent the knees are the less you’re going to have a full experience.
  • Use Pillows: A pillow under the receiver’s head and neck provides support and comfort.
  • Hydrate: Have water nearby for afterward. Blood rushing to your head might lead to a great orgasm, but also dizziness.

Butter Churner Sex Position: Is It Right for You?

The butter churner provides a unique sexual experience. It offers intense sensations and even bragging rights. However, it’s not for everyone. Consider this position if you want to have a woman lie on their back to thrust inside, but also consider other factors.

  • You and your partner crave adventure and novelty in your sex life.
  • You both enjoy deep penetration and G-spot stimulation.
  • You are both flexible and comfortable with physically demanding positions. Even if both you and your partner feel physically ready for the butter churner position, having open conversations regarding whether it feels right and what your expectations are is important. Making the most out of your time together involves communicating about these preferences. If you do this position, does your upper body strength allow you to enter deeply when thrusting while also maintaining balance in the long time you are squatting, for example? Does your body strength as the receiver support this? While you may be thinking “I do upper body workouts to build up the muscle groups so I can stay up a long time for positions such as shoulder stands.” Consider that is only a piece of the puzzle when it comes to something such as making love, even for something seemingly more simple like positions involving lying down such as missionary. Having enough muscle endurance can add more to any love making session such as clitoral stimulation during certain times of this or missionary. Ultimately though, what your intimacy with your partner consists of will vary from relationship to relationship, moment to moment. These questions may not all need answering for certain partners, or perhaps there may be a fourth, or fifth point that comes up based on what you and your partner deem essential. These moments also don’t always involve deep penetration as discussed in many positions where you’re on your back, you or your partner on your feet, doggy style and various oral sex positions for clitoral stimulation too. Communicate what you and your partner both need to make this a more meaningful time together.

If balance, flexibility, or upper body strength is a concern, choose easier positions. Many other moves offer similar sensations without the physical demands. You can also experiment with positions ideal for getting pregnant or other comfortable sex positions that allow for deep thrusting while lying down. These could even give insight to more ways of including g-spot stimulation in addition to other intimate moves and positions you have already practiced together, such as clitoral stimulation.

FAQs about butter churner sex position

What is the butter churner method?

The butter churner method refers to the butter churner sex position. One partner (the receiver) lies on their back with legs raised overhead, similar to a shoulder stand. The other partner (the giver) squats and penetrates from above, with thrusting resembling churning butter.

The receiver may extend their legs in the opposite direction instead of angled behind their head. This requires flexibility, trust, careful execution, and constant feedback. Whether it involves your partner holding your legs behind your head or behind your back while you lie down, being communicative makes for a better experience. This is because you and your partner know what feels better physically. There are so many possibilities based on how comfortable your and your partner’s flexibility is.

What is the 90 degree sex pose?

This refers to variations where the receiving partner’s legs are at a 90-degree angle, such as the Butterfly. The receiver’s head and chest rest on the bed or floor, avoiding dizziness. The Butterfly involves bent legs supported by the standing partner’s shoulders. The standing partner enters, helping hold them for long enough. Just as there can be g-spot stimulation and clitoral stimulation with other positions including oral sex positions and ones like doggy style where you are lying on your front, having open feedback from the receiver can help increase both intimacy and enjoyment. Make sure the standing partner has enough body strength to not get tired and fall while supporting the weight of your legs straight or not, otherwise discomfort is likely to happen at some point of all of this. As you go deeper, if the receiving partner feels they are sinking into the surface and unable to provide adequate stimulation from rubbing against their g-spot, consider adding more pillows below the receiver’s shoulders to add a height boost. Having enough pillows under your head or even under the shoulders can increase both pleasure and avoid any neck injuries.

Conclusion

The butter churner sex position can add spice to the bedroom. Be realistic about your physical abilities and prioritize safety. Focus on what feels good.

Good communication with your partner is essential. It will help you discover what works and what doesn’t. Ultimately, intimacy isn’t about flexibility but shared meaningful experiences. It can help to make these sex positions perfect and improve the connection between you and your partner.
