If you've ever seen Love Island, you might remember the challenge where one of the Islanders said that his favourite sex position is the ‘eagle’. This immediately got the entire country searching for what the eagle sex position is. In this blog, we will help you understand this amazing sex position and the different types of eagle sex positions without the need for you to make a bird sound.
1. Spread Eagle
Perhaps the most recognised sex eagle position. It's quite similar to a missionary style but the person below will need to spread their wings (in this case, their legs).
2. Exposed Eagle
The man (or person with a strap on dildo)will need to sit down with his legs widely spread. The woman will then climb on top to form a lotus sex position. In order to turn this lotus into the exposed eagle, the woman must arch backwards and lie on top of her partner’s legs. For stability, she must slide her legs downwards to either side of the partner's hips.
This is usually a fun sexual position but be careful not to bend back too quickly to avoid hurting one another.
3. Soaring Eagle
Don't try this one if you've not had your Weetabix a requires bit more energy. One person must lie on their back and bend their legs backwards. Picture trying to get your toes to touch your ears. The other person will lean across, in an attempt to do a push-up. The soaring eagle sex position is probably easier on the sofa rather than a bed. Make sure to start off slowly to avoid pain or injury.
When this eagle sex position was first mentioned on Love Island by Curtis in 2019, the internet went crazy with a skyrocketing search for the eagle on Google Trends. The number of searches has not reached its all-time high since then. It's either everyone is now educated and know what eagle sex position is or they are just not interested. If you are reading this, it probably means that you didn't know and we are happy we wrote this blog for you.

4. Reversing Soaring Eagle
This style is pretty much the same as the soaring eagle but the person on top must face the other way. Reverse engineer that soaring eagle!
This is perhaps the least common eagle sex position, because of the complexity. It usually requires a lot of energy and a stable object (most likely a wall). Both sexual partners will be standing but one person will wrap one leg around the other. Another approach to this is for one person to stand on the sofa/bed to gain balance. In this scenario, it will be called a sofa spread eagle sex position.
6. Flying Eagle
Let's wrap up the sex position that you probably pictured when you had no idea what the eagle was. The man (or partner with a strap on dildo) will lie down facing upwards. The woman will sit on top in a cowgirl position. She then holds out her arms and flies them about in the air while riding all the way home.
