===Standing===
[[File:Wiki-standing.png|right|thumbnail|One partner stands while holding up the other without a support, called the ''Suspended Congress'' in the ''[[Kama Sutra]]'' and ''Ekiben'' in Japanese]]

Most of these positions can be used for either vaginal or anal penetration. In the basic standing position, both partners stand facing each other. The following variations are possible:
*In the basic standing position, both partners stand facing each other and engage in vaginal sex. In order to match heights, the shorter partner can, for instance, stand on a stair or wear high heels. It may be easier to maintain solid thrusts if the woman has her back to a wall. With such a support, the ''[[Kama Sutra]]'' calls this position the ''Suspended Congress''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kamasutra-sex.org/text/ |title=Kama Sutra – the ancient art of love |publisher=Kamasutra-sex.org |access-date=2010-04-19 |archive-date=2008-09-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080906051834/http://www.kamasutra-sex.org/text/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> This position is most often used in upright places, such as a wall in a bedroom or a [[shower]].
*The penetrating partner stands, and the receiving partner wraps their arms around his neck, and their legs around his waist, thereby exposing either the [[vagina]] or [[Human anus|anus]] to the man's [[Human penis|penis]]. This position is made easier with the use of a solid object behind the receiver, as above. To assume this position, it can be easier to start with the receiving partner laying on their back on the edge of a bed; the penetrating partner puts his elbows under their knees, enters them, and then lifts them as he rises to a standing position. In Japan, this is colloquially called the ''[[Ekiben (sexual act)|Ekiben]]'' position, after a specific bento lunch box sold at train stations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jslang.com/details.php?slangn=145|title=ekiben|publisher=JSlang]|access-date=2011-10-02|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425015152/http://www.jslang.com/details.php?slangn=145|archive-date=2012-04-25}}</ref>
*Alternatively, the receiving partner can face away from the penetrating partner which allows for anal sex. This position is varied by having the receiving partner assume different semi-standing positions. For instance, they may bend at the waist, resting their hands or elbows on a table.
