Let's Get Real
If you’ve ever looked down and thought, “Am I enough?” — trust me, you’re not alone. A lot of gay men silently carry that question into the bedroom, especially if they feel they’re on the smaller side. But here’s the honest truth: mind-blowing sex has very little to do with size — and everything to do with connection, angles, and confidence.
In this article, we’re going beyond the usual top/bottom binary. We’ll break down some of the best gay sex positions — how to make them work especially well when you’re smaller — and offer tips, tricks, and even a discreet little enhancement that can take your game to a whole new level.
Doggy Style – Raw, Primal, Unfiltered
Best for: High-intensity lovers, control seekers, and fans of deep stimulation.
This one’s a classic for a reason. One partner on all fours, the other entering from behind. It’s about dominance, thrust depth, and full access to your partner’s body.
Pro tip for smaller guys: Angle matters. Slide a pillow under your partner’s hips to raise the entry point and give you more direct access to the prostate. Grip the waist and pull them back toward you — you'll feel longer than you think.
❝ Did you know? In a 2022 Reddit survey, over 65% of bottoms said they reach orgasm more easily in doggy when the angle is adjusted — not from "harder" thrusting. ❞
Spooning – Slow, Deep, and Made for Connection
Best for: Nervous partners, aftercare lovers, and guys who like to feel close.Spooning is one of the most underappreciated positions in gay sex. With both partners lying on their sides, the top partner enters from behind — offering maximum body contact, skin-to-skin warmth, and a rhythm that can be sensual or intense depending on your pace.
Why it works for smaller guys
This position shortens the distance of penetration, meaning even a modest size can go deep and feel satisfying. Plus, it gives you a chance to sync breath, kiss your partner’s neck, and create a real sense of intimacy — not just friction.
❝ Myth-buster: Some think this position is only for lazy mornings — but done right, it can be fiercely passionate. Try grabbing the hip and slowly increasing thrust speed while whispering in your partner’s ear. ❞
Missionary with Legs Over Shoulders – The Eye Contact Intensifier
Missionary doesn’t have to be boring — especially when your partner’s legs are raised high, knees by the ears. This opens up their body, lifts the pelvis, and lets you go deeper without needing a huge size.
Small guy advantage: Your thrusts can be tighter, more controlled, and full of tension. Use your hips to grind, not just pump. This creates longer-lasting pleasure and lets you read your partner’s facial reactions in real time.
❝ Pro Tip: Holding eye contact while penetrating is massively underrated. It builds tension — and even a shallow stroke can feel electric. ❞

Let’s face it — even with the best angles, sometimes you just want a little more. That’s where a high-quality penis sleeve can change the game.

Apex Position – Ride Higher, Penetrate Deeper
Think of the Apex Position as the next-level upgrade of Lotus — instead of sitting cross-legged, the penetrating partner stays seated with legs stretched forward on a firm surface (like a low couch or bed edge), while the receiving partner straddles them, feet planted on either side for balance.
This upright angle creates a sharper downward entry, making it possible to reach deeper with less thrusting — a powerful trick for smaller guys who want to hit that sweet spot without overexerting.
Why it works so well: The bottom partner controls the pace, while the top partner provides base stability and focused stimulation. Plus, the body-to-body pressure in this position enhances prostate contact and tightens internal grip, making each motion more intense.
❝ Real Talk: Many gay couples with size disparities say this is their go-to position for mutual pleasure, especially when combined with lube and a good rhythm. ❞

Edge of the Bed – Gravity Is Your Wingman
Have your partner lie back at the edge of the bed with their legs raised, while you stand or kneel. The drop in height naturally aligns the angle of penetration, so you can go deeper with less effort.
Added benefit: You can shift between slow teasing and fast thrusting instantly. Grip the thighs or hips, lean in for a kiss — or pull their body closer. You’ll feel powerful, even without packing major size.
❝ Data Drop: According to a 2023 sex toy survey, this was the #1 favorite position for couples introducing sex toys like dildos and sleeves into their play. Why? It's stable, sexy, and leaves your hands free. ❞
You Don’t Need to Be Big to Be Bold
Being smaller in size doesn’t mean you need to play small in bed. With the right positions, a little knowledge of angles, and an open mind about enhancements — you can unlock a level of satisfaction that has nothing to do with inches.
And if you’re ready to try a little boost? A good penis sleeve can be the difference between “I hope this works” and “Damn, that felt amazing.”Because confidence isn’t about what you were born with. It’s about how you show up — and how you choose to play.
