Any tips for sex while standing up? BF and I (both virgins before we had sex together) tried it for the first time today but it just wasn't working. Very awkward position for us and we gave up quickly. Any advice, we both want it to work.

Well, frankly, I don't think standing up face to face for intercourse is so great for either the guy or the girl.

It might be okay to start having sex in that position before moving to a more comfortable one to finish but unless it's a quickie, it's too strenuous and tiring for us. Kind of takes the fun out of sex.

Not to mention it can be dangerous if you fall over.

You might try having him hold you up, wrap your legs around his waist, and brace your back against a door or wall. Of course, you don't want to be totally naked since your back will take all the brunt of his thrusting. Other than that, I'm not sure what you can do to make it less awkward.

Or try doggy with you standing but bent over a table or something else. You can always use a step stool if he's a lot taller than you are.

The height difference might be giving you difficult. My favorite standing up position is in the bathroom with one leg on the counter (to the side). You may also try leaning forward while he enters you (maybe over a couch or just touch the ground with your fingers). If he is taller than you, try doing it in heels or raising yourself on your tippee toes so he can get under to enter you.
