As you might have gleaned from watching hardcore gay porn all night long, the male body can be a beautifully flexible thing, contorting into the most unlikely of positions. I certainly wouldn't blame you if you wanted to try that hot Barebacking Boys scenario with your next fuckbuddy.

But even though variety is the spice of life and all that, some positions are easier than others to actually do. I'm well aware a lot of you are new to this gay sex game. I wouldn't want you embarrassing yourselves.

Blowjobs

If you're more of a submissive bent, like me, you'll often find yourself drawn to the positions which involve being on your knees. Whether you're kneeling on the floor and he's standing up or, slightly less bottomy, you're kneeling on a bed or couch while he lies back and enjoys your oral attentions - all of it's great fun. These positions are classic porno staples, and also very simple to recreate in real life.

For the more adventurous oral worshipper, try hanging your head over the edge of the bed or sofa, while he (gently) fucks your throat. Don't let him do it too hard if you're not experienced - you will choke. They make it look easier than it is in porn.

If you have a desire for simultaneous mutual stimulation and no powerplay, try going for a 69, a position in which you suck each others' cocks while lying down. Porn doesn't bother with this too often because it's fairly slow and low visibility for the camera angles, but it can be a lovely way to extend foreplay while you excite each other and get to know each others' bodies.

Bumsex

My favourite is being pinned down and fucked on a bed, face down, with the top holding one hand around my neck or in my mohawk, and the other hand restraining my wrists. Or the classic doggy style fuck, with the top ramming into me from behind, holding my hip bones for extra slam. These obviously don't have to be exclusively dom/sub type positions, but I make them that way because I'm a pervert.

Let's say you're versatile, and you don't have any inclination towards either role as top or bottom in particular. You lot should go for positions that let you look at each other and enjoy the horny male body in front of you. One you often see in porn that does work in real life is one guy lying back on a bed or beanbag, legs doubled back, or in the air, held by the top. There's lots of scope for nipple play and all that too, which is nice for mutual pleasure.

If you're fairly new to getting fucked, but you totally want to get into it, try riding his dick. This is something the porn world loves, that I can never be bothered to recreate in bed because I'm just too damn lazy - I want the top to do the fucking, not me! However, straddling him and riding his hardon gives you total control over the speed and depth of insertion, so you won't end up screaming in pain when he unwittingly breaks in your tight sphincter a little bit too fast. Oh, and if you experiment a bit, you might even discover your prostate gland.

I haven't really covered the sillier positions that look great in porn but seriously make me laugh when I try to do them in real life. You'll discover them soon enough, and you'll be lucky if you don't break your cock or strain a muscle while you do so. Take Piledriver. The bottom kind of curls up and balances on his head and shoulders, like that pose like you might have done when learning to do a headstand in the school gym. It's slightly easier if you do it against a sofa, by the way. Then the top kind of crouches over him and inserts his wang, attempting to squat up and down to fuck him for as long as possible, before either his thigh muscles or the bottom's back give out.

Kinky Stuff

One of my fuckbuddies has a thing for feet - he totally needs to have my feet somewhere near his face as he screws me - so he can smell, lick and handle them as he pounds away. We've had to work out positions that suit this, such as me on my back with feet up in the air, or bent over the bed with my legs bent back up towards my head.

Group Sex

Let's take, for example, the daisychain fuck. Bear in mind that it is rather unusual to have so many guys all stiff enough to shag at once (in real life, often one or two are still being fellated to shagworthy hardness) and these lads have likely been jerking their cocks for a fair bit off camera to get to that stage. Also, the coordination of the actual fucking is supremely difficult - there's really no horny way to try and communicate to one another the exact back and forth rhythm you need to be following so as not to just be bumping one another uncomfortably, cocks falling out front, back and middle.

I know it looks and sounds fun to have a giant daisychain next time you've got the bodies - but trust me, it ain't as easy as you think! Go ahead and try it though, it's always amusing. And don't even get me started on simultaneous cumshots.

Experimentation is the key

To summarise, I'm not saying you should only stick to the gay equivalent of missionary, just because it's harder to do porno sex than it looks. Yes, all this experimentation is likely to result in clumsiness, discomfort, embarrassment, and a few tumbles from the bed. But it's a far worse fate never to discover anything new about sex, and sticking with one position. Watch some more porn, and make sure you stretch yourself (in every sense of the word) next time you get it on.
