The Speed-Bump: TikTok Users Declare Their Favorite Heteronormative Sex Position

We all know how ubiquitous TikTok is. This wildly popular app and social media portal, with close to 1.59 billion users currently, has declared their users' favorite heteronormative sexual position, and we should all take note. And get down into the Speed Bump.

What Is The Speed Bump Sex Position And How Do We Get Into It?...As Bottom/Receiver

Named the "speed bump," the partner on bottom or 'receiver' arranges themselves into what could best be described as a modified doggy-style position, wherein the receiver lays flat—not up on their knees. A pillow, rolled-up towel, or something similarly soft and small is placed under their stomach, raising them up slightly and pretty much creating a human speed bump. To execute the speed bump, it's best if the receiver lies on as flat a surface as possible, then places the pillow (etc.) below their hips to create that slight elevation of their rear. Unlike the 'prone bone' position, which the speed bump surely resembles, the fact that the receiver's hips are elevated gives this position its extra edge in TikTok popularity.

What Is The Speed Bump Sex Position And How Do We Get Into It?...As The Top/Giver

The partner in the top or 'giver' position needs to make sure to exert enough pressure so their partner's legs are firmly pressed together. Rising to a kneeling or slightly hunched position, the top moves their legs to the outside of the bottom, in effect straddling their thighs. They then enter from this position.

Why All The Rave Over The Bump?

While the benefits of this position could be plenty (visual stimulus, tight fit), the main benefit mostly touted is the speed bump's access to a woman's G-spot. With the receiver's hips elevated, the angle to reach—and actually stimulate—the G-spot is easier and overall more pleasurable. Another benefit of this position is the minimal effort it takes for both partners to actually get into it.

Just as a couple is waking in the morning, they can easily roll and shift into the speed bump. Also, as with lots of intercourse, most people with vaginas do not usually orgasm from penetration alone. The receiver can easily add a vibrator or manually stimulate their clitoris during intercourse in this position, adding another plus.

The pillow or towel placed under the hips can also add stimulation to the same area. And there's also the advantage for those who don't want to engage in face-to-face sex—for whatever reason. TikTok users have been heard: the speed bump seems to be the best way to get off. Until a new survey is made.
