What is the eagle sex position?
The eagle sex position has become increasingly popular thanks to the ITV2 show and there's not just one way to make this bedroom move.
There are at least five different ways, so there's a chance you may have done this position without even realizing the name of it.
The spread eagle
The most well-known eagle position is the spread eagle.
This is where one partner lies on their back with their legs spread apart or spread eagle.
It's said to be similar to the missionary position.
You can find out how to experiment while staying in your comfort zone with a modified version of missionary here.
With the spread eagle, rather than having the receiver flat on the bed, as in classic missionary, the person has their legs wide and in the air.
The exposed eagle
For this variation, the penetrating partner should sit on a flat surface and spread their legs.

The receiving partner then climbs on top.
From this position, to get into the exposed eagle, the receiving partner will arch backward and lie on top of their partner's legs.
You can slide their legs down to either side of your partner's hips if you need extra stability.
This variation is said to be better for stimulating the G-spot.
The soaring eagle
This variation requires quite a lot of stamina and flexibility.
Firstly, the receiving partner lies on their back and bends their legs as far as possible - this may feel somewhat like a particularly challenging yoga position.
The penetrating partner will then lean across them as if they are about to start doing press-ups.
This position can be done vaginally or anally - but you should be sure to start slow.
The reverse soaring eagle
This is a further variation on the one above, with the partner on top facing the other way.
The standing eagle
This might be the most challenging variation on the eagle.
Usually done against a wall with both partners standing - one will then wrap a leg around the other.
The broken eagle or eagle with the broken wing
This variation on the position was frantically searched across the country after Love Island 2022 contestant Paige Thorne said her favourite position was "the broken eagle."
According to her, it involves one person lying down with one leg bent and the other straight out while the other person is on top.
The show also introduced many people to the Viennese oyster
after the position was alluded to in the show's latest series.
