The Standard variation is a position in the Bumper family of sexual positions. It requires the man to have an erection that can aim downwards, which may be uncomfortable for some men. To alleviate this discomfort, placing a few pillows under the woman's rear can help to reduce the strain. This position can be challenging to generate thrust distance in, so it may be helpful for the man to hold on to the woman's ankles. This provides her with something to push off of with her legs, allowing for better control and movement. Communication and experimentation are key to finding what works best for both partners in any sexual position.
