The “receiving partner” or “receiver” refers to the partner receiving oral sex. Here, a receiving partner leans against a wall with their legs slightly spread out, while the giving partner kneels in front of them and performs oral sex. Benefits: It’s a great position for receivers who enjoy standing sex, but prefer to be in control of the oral stimulation their partner provides, Honolulu-based sex therapist Janet Brito, PhD previously told Women’s Health.
