Who doesn’t want to have orgasms that make you feel like you’re flying?

While us mere mortals haven’t been bitten by radioactive spiders or injected with Compound V (a la The Boys), we can still achieve a heroic climax good enough for superheroes.

With that being said, have you heard of this superhero sex position? It’s similar to the wheelbarrow (yes, people do actually do it in this position) but with a little save-the-day plot twist.

As you would in the wheelbarrow, one person stands and penetrates the person in front who is standing on their hands, with their legs wrapped around their partner.

Clinical sexologist Ness Cooper tells Metro.co.uk: ‘The superhero sex position is similar but the person on the bottom is lying over a stool or raised chair or pillow, allowing them to lift their arms off the ground as if they’re in the flying super hero pose.

‘The person behind is the supportive sidekick. As they both work towards a “herogasm” the sidekick thrusts and the person acting as the hero have freedom to wiggle their hips and pelvis, which can lead to extra stimulation to anyone with a clitoris.’

You might have heard the word herogasm on the popular Amazon Prime TV show The Boys which refers to a superhero sex convention.

But herogasm predates the show and is something people have been trying to achieve for time.

Ness explains: ‘Hero orgasm was a phrase coined by Dr Ava Cadell to support men who struggled with erectile issues, particularly those with PTSD and trauma-related reasons.

‘The freedom this sex position gives to both involved allows for freedom of arms. The position isn’t cramped, meaning those who become more restless or stressed while confined will find the sex position very free and liberating.’

‘It can also allow both people space to perform full inhales and exhales during sex, which can reduce sexual anxiety,’ she adds.

Ness explains that the sex position can be heightened with the use of sex toys such as a cock ring, which can increase the chances of orgasm and reduce erectile issues.

It can also let those wishing to take things to more kinkier levels, on par to The Boys and Gen V, explore anal sex and anal sex toys.

‘Some people with sexual anxiety or even pelvic floor related issues can struggle to orgasm when their body is cramped-up and this position is to help reduce this from happening,’ Ness adds.

It can also help if you’re looking to add in superhero role plays during your sex sessions, as you both can adopt superhero and side kick personas for a bit of fun roleplay.
