Which Of These Is The Most Overused Sex Position In Gay Porn?

Gay sex is a thing of infinite possibility, but there are only so many ways to fuck. Here's a look at the most overused sex positions in gay porn. Which of them are wonderful, and which need to be retired?

In a recent blog post twink-devouring power top Diesel Washington makes a case for The Piledriver, this spine-twisting variation of the wheelbarrow, being the most overused sex position in gay porn. Yeah, it's definitely up there on the list, but we would argue that it's also one of the very best positions for porn. It's difficult enough that we prefer watching pornstars do it. It allows the camera to capture both performers' dicks and faces—a pretty tricky task most of the time. And most importantly, it's super. fucking. hot.

Ah, The Missionary Position. Forever known as the boring, sexually unadventurous man's go-to sex position, this very basic classic is probably our all-time favorite (take that as you will). Yeah, the missionary may be Intercourse 101 style fucking, but it definitely has its advantages. It allows for unparalleled face-to-face intimacy, and who can complain about the hotness of watching a top's nice, tight ass slam into his partner's hole?

The Spoons Position. Overused but, in our opinion, not grossly so, this sex position is surprisingly popular in porn considering how many people we encounter in real life who almost never think to use it. Still, this is definitely one of those positions that work more for the participants than it works for the viewing audience. With both performers lying on their sides, that hard-thrusting intensity we love to see in our porn is significantly dampened.

We like to call this one "The Stand-And-Deliver." A simple variation of the missionary, this sex position—in which the bottom lies back on a conveniently waist-level platform while the top fucks him from a standing position—most certainly suffers from overuse. In real life we've found that bed frames and countertops are rarely so perfectly matched to an individual's height to make this super practical but, porn being porn, that's generally not a problem on camera.

The Cowgirl. Taking a quick and informal mental survey of all the gay porn we've ever seen (hint: that's a lot), we'd call this sex position the second most common of all the positions we see. We wouldn't equate that with "overuse," though, as this position is insanely useful. Not only is it a common favorite amongst bottoms, but with very few adjustments it quickly turns into the missionary position or doggy style. Speaking of which…

Doggy style. Now this, dear friends, is what we think of as the very definition of overused. We've never understood why doggy style fucking is so pervasive in porn. Film the action from the front and you get two pretty, groaning faces but none of the dick and ass we so eagerly want to see. Film the action from behind (and underneath) and you get amorphous blobs of genitalia squeezing in and out of each other without any human beings to give them context. Yeah, it looks pretty good from the side, but good enough to be in literally every porno ever? We think not. Disagree with us? Let us know in the comments!
