Tips for getting physical with a really tall guy

19 replies

2022IamHavingYa · 13/02/2022 09:07

I’ve started dating a guy and we have a significant height difference (he’s over a foot taller than I am)

Any tips for the physical side of this potential relationship? My brain can’t compress how it will work?!

I don’t think it makes a difference and I’ve dated a man who is one foot and five inches taller.

It doesn't make a difference at all.

Everyone is the same height lying down 🤣 not really but it doesn’t make a difference- the pieces slot where they’re supposed to 😜

Ask yourself honestly, do I fancy him or is he just tall?

It’s weird how we’re all the same height lying down.

Lifeslooser · 13/02/2022 09:32

A guy was a foot taller than me, the other only 6 inches but when DTD somehow they all end up with exactly at face level, it’s weird 😂

It makes no difference

I am 5’3 and husband 6’6

You are the same height vertically, if you lie down. Lie down more often.

Lovemusic33 · 13/02/2022 09:34

It makes no difference at all. I’m pretty short (5ft3) and have dated guys that are 6ft +, never really had a issue.

The "everyone is the same height lying down" line makes me laugh. I went out with someone a foot taller than me. Kissing (which I like during sex) whilst having penetrative sex was impossible. All I got was my face in his chest or armpit if we did missionary. Doggy style took a bit of manoeuvring as well, we used to make use of the stairs quite a bit. Me on top was probably the easiest.

Depends if his height is in his legs or his torso

this..

most of the time it won't make a difference unless they've got a very long torso

Hellocatshome · 13/02/2022 10:53

Honestly you are overthinking this.

RedCandyApple · 13/02/2022 10:55

It’s not a problem

Celiamary · 13/02/2022 10:58

Do come back and tell us how well it worked.

elQuintoConyo · 13/02/2022 11:00

Do it on a bus?

Hopefullyoneday12 · 13/02/2022 11:28

It's more awkward for having to bend down to kiss. But he'll be used to that sort of thing if he is v tall.

I have a v tall DP and some sex positions are not that great, but you can generally adapt. For example we can't have standing up sex.. but he is strong enough to pick me up easily and it works. Lying down is no issue at all though occasionally I have to remind him to keep his chest a bit elevated if he is on top otherwise it's too close to my face and I don't want to get squished. Me on top is often best for both of us.

Very attracted to tall men.

TheFormidableMrsC · 13/02/2022 11:43

No difference in my experience! I'm 5ft 5 and my last sexual partner was almost 6ft 5 🤷🏻‍♀️. I do like a tall man!

MrHighTower · 10/05/2026 13:57

I agree with every said here. In missionary position my 5 foot tall wife is left stareing at my blank chest. My body is 6'4"" and nope I do not play basket ball. Sex positions with her on top work better, but she has some lower back pain issues often. Its an ongoing issue, with no real solutions that I can see. We still strongly love each other. Maybe we need a Kama Sutra book for some workable solutions.

It doesn’t make a difference at all.
