There are sex positions for men with a penile prosthesis that, besides being safer, contribute to a more secure sexual experience—especially when the man is in control. Find out which are the best.

Are there sex positions for men with a penile prosthesis to enjoy the big moment even more? It depends on your point of view!

When a penile implant is placed, the man goes through a period of recovery and adaptation, and after about two months he has a penis with good rigidity again. This means that erection and penetration will occur without obstacles—and that is fundamental for a good sexual relationship.

However, for the experience to be pleasurable, good penile function alone is not enough. The man must feel comfortable with the chosen position, which is related to adapting to the prosthesis.

Discover positions that can enhance comfort and confidence when resuming sexual life.

4 positions for men with a penile prosthesis

Choosing a sexual position that pleases both partners is essential for pleasure, but medical guidance also matters. By combining these two factors, the experience becomes more satisfying for the couple, within medical limits and guidance.

The best position depends on personal preferences, comfort, overall health and communication between the couple, as well as a willingness to try, experiment and adjust when necessary.

When a man has an implant, this choice becomes even more important for the relationship. Opting for good sex positions for men with a penile prosthesis will give more security and confidence at the big moment.

The patient with the prosthesis must also consider the instructions from his urologist and the prosthesis manufacturer so that everything goes smoothly during intercourse.

According to the Indian guide Kama Sutra, there are 529 sex positions. There is a wide variety, and some may be more suitable depending on each man’s case.

In general, positions in which the man controls the movements are more appropriate for sex with a penile prosthesis. It is possible to explore the options, provided care is taken to avoid trauma to the genital region.

Below, check out some sex positions for men with a penile prosthesis to try and enjoy sexual life with the implant:

Side‑by‑side

In this position both partners lie on their sides, which offers greater stability for penetration. The key is to find the angle that favors insertion and movement of the penis, providing comfort during sex with a penile prosthesis.

Seated

Positions in which the man is seated—on the bed edge, sofa or chair—keep the pelvic area supported and therefore more stable to perform the desired movements at different angles.

Doggy style

Besides being one of the men’s favorites, it gives the man control over penetration depth and speed. This is one of the most comfortable positions for him because it allows adjustments and variation as needed.

On top

With this position, it is possible to have greater control over movement intensity, which offers more comfort during sex with a penile prosthesis. However, be careful not to apply excessive pressure to the area.

Is there any risky sex position for men with a penile prosthesis?

There is no specific position in which a man with a prosthesis is at greater risk during intercourse.

Nevertheless, there are some restrictions and points of attention to practice sex safely.

The ideal is to avoid positions that put stress on the penis. These include those that exert more pressure on the pelvic region where the body is projected forward without nearby support.

In addition, you should not persist with positions that cause pain or discomfort. This may signal excessive pressure on the prosthesis, requiring you to stop and change posture.

Sudden movements should also be avoided. Try smooth, controlled motions to prevent discomfort or device damage.

Factors to consider when choosing the right sex position

When selecting sex positions after placement of a penile prosthesis, it is essential to consider the type of device used.

Maleable prostheses offer constant rigidity, which facilitates positioning but requires extra care to avoid discomfort in certain positions.

Inflatable prostheses offer greater flexibility and rigidity control, allowing adjustments according to the couple’s needs.

Regardless of the model, it is crucial to respect body limits, avoid postures that cause pain or excessive tension and follow the urologist’s guidance to ensure safety and pleasure during intercourse.

7 tips to improve sexual satisfaction and the experience of men with a prosthesis

After medical clearance and the adaptation period, many patients report improved sexual function and a renewed intimate life.

To get there, put the following tips into practice:

  • Make sure the prosthesis is in the correct position;
  • Use lubricant to avoid friction;
  • Practice masturbation with the penile implant;
  • Test new sex positions and discover the most comfortable and pleasurable ones;
  • Be patient with yourself, especially the first few times;
  • Cultivate a healthy relationship after the implant, with open dialogue with your sexual partner;
  • Whenever necessary, stop and make adjustments.

When to seek medical advice

After implantation of the penile prosthesis, it is necessary to follow medical instructions before resuming sexual life—from the ideal waiting time to the best position tips to ensure adaptation.

Even after the recovery period, it is essential to watch for anything unusual. Persistent pain, swelling, redness, abnormal hardening or discharge should be reported immediately to the urologist and treated promptly to avoid more serious complications.

Although durable, the penile prosthesis can break or malfunction over time. If the man notices loss of rigidity, a different sensation during use or difficulty operating the device, he should return to the doctor for evaluation to avoid damage.
