prone bone (n, v) a sex position in which a woman lies completely flat on her stomach while a man penetrates her vagina from behind

Carrie flipped onto her stomach as Jackson eagerly straddled her—prone bone always made them both climax within minutes.

Doggystyle is a tried-and-true classic. Although it will always be a fan favorite, romantics say one drawback is the lack of intimacy and physical closeness. There’s not as much body-to-body contact as with positions such as missionary, you don’t get to face each other and there’s little opportunity for eye contact—unless the receiver is extremely flexible.

We would like to introduce another rear-entry position that combines the best of doggy and missionary: the prone bone. This position, also known as the flatiron, consists of the woman or vagina-owner lying on her stomach with her legs straight and her hips slightly raised. The man or penis-owner then rests on top of her, penetrating her vagina from behind. There’s increased sensation for the person on top since the position naturally squeezes the vagina together, making for a tighter feel, and there’s more control for the person on the bottom since they can direct the depth of penetration by lifting or straightening their legs.

This position is a nice switch-up if you enjoy the primal nature of being taken from behind but desire the warmth and coziness of your partner’s full weight on top of you. And for well-endowed men who are worried about causing discomfort for their partner, this position is perfect if you want to avoid hitting a woman’s cervix. (PSA: Getting your cervix pounded is not a pleasurable experience for most women.) In other words, it hits all the right spots while missing the wrong ones.

And a final plus? Prone bone is a very easy transition into anal or just post-coital spooning depending on how young the night is.
