Our intern Kristine deGuzman, a junior at UC Berkeley, discusses the great divide between her and her boyf: My boyfriend is a foot taller than me. An entire foot. It's difficult enough for us to kiss standing up, let alone in a horizontal position while having sex. Normally, when deciding whom to date and whom not to date, I take our height differences into consideration. Being 4'11", I understand that there are some guys who are just out of my reach, literally. For instance, at a kickback at my apartment last year, I met the sweetest, most charismatic and most beautiful boy I had ever met. However, he was 6'5". It just didn't seem feasible that we would ever be physically comfortable together. Even standing on a chair he was still much taller than me -- and I can't be standing on chairs all the time. So there he was, possibly the most perfect boy I had ever met, and he was just too tall for me. It happens... However, when I went to my first frat party in Berkeley, and my now-boyfriend tipsily approached me and invited me to dance with him, the last thing on my mind was dating. So I let our one-foot height difference slide. When we kissed that night for the first time, I was wearing three-and-a-half-inch heels, yet I still had to tiptoe a bit to help make up the difference for a kiss. Now that we've been together for the last year and a half, kissing is the least of our problems. Have you ever tried 69-ing with someone a foot taller than you? Oh sure, it can be done, but not without awkward contortions and advanced yoga moves. When I was virgin, I was sure that having sex against a wall would be one of my favorite pastimes once I cashed in my V-card. With my current boyfriend, it's not even possible. Sure, I can bend over and we can do it doggy-style while standing, but that just can't live up to my original fantasy. Where's the romance, where's the eye contact? And don't even get me started on shower sex. Now don't get me wrong, my boyfriend and I have a fine sex life. But every now and then I wish we could have sex and kiss simultaneously -- is that too much to ask? The reality is we have to take quick pauses from screwing here and there so we can reach each other's lips. In fact, once we went through an entire session of sex without kissing once. It made me feel like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. And not in a good way. 12 CommentsLeave a comment |

I am assuming you are pretty light to carry since you are fun-sized, so you can totally still have sex against a wall and kiss the bf at the same time.
1.Have bf pick you up with his hands on your butt.
2. Bf backs you up towards wall until your back hits it(gently, unless you are into that sort of thing...)
3. Keep your legs tight around his waist--to help him out.
4. With your hand, insert boy parts into girl parts.
5. Once inserted comfortably wrap your arms around his neck.
6. Do it, and kiss at the same time! Voila!
A male friend of mine has the same height difference--give or take-- with his girl who is 5'3. He is 6'4 and says that this is their favorite way to have sex because they can kiss at the same time, and he feels like a big 'ol hero because he is holding her.
I hope it helps!
Dude, seriously? You met your perfect guy and you didn't go out with him because of height?! That's...unfathomable to me. My ex and I dated for three years, and he was a foot taller than me. I never noticed a problem! And your current boyfriend is significantly taller than you, too, so...wow, sorry, it's just that my mind is blown. If I liked a guy that much and it seemed mutual, nothing would stop me!
Ever tried sex sitting up? Kind of a cowgirl, but with him sitting up. You should gain plenty of height due to sitting on his lap, and you could wrap your legs around him for more stability. Not the best position for thrusting, but you could try to maneuver into it whenever you're on top.
Well, I'm 5'4 and had a boyfriend that was 6'7. The only time this was really a problem was trying to have sex in creative places, because without a lot of wiggle room you just can't anatomically line up the parts. Oh well, we lived without. And I wouldn't rule out a tall guy based on that, a lot of them are very nice! (Even though all my tall female friends bitched because they were all dating guys their own height. Uh, that's not my fault...) "Short man syndrome" is decidedly un-fun to deal with, thanks.
Anon's suggestion sounds like a fun one, though. Wish I'd tried it.
I was going to say exactly what the first anon said... works great in the shower, too.
Would love to hear from all the short-guy/tall woman couples. I've dated a couple of women significantly taller than me and height was only a problem for other people looking in.
I had sex a few times with a guy who is 6'5" and I'm 5'1" and I don't remember it being too much of an issue. It's all what you make of it. I would never write someone off for being too tall.
I'm only 4'10" and it was rare that any boyfriend or husband through my life (I'm about to turn 65) wasn't a foot or more taller! This never interfered with sex -- we just figured out the most comfortable positions that made it work, and yes, we could kiss at the same time. I can't imagine ending a relationship for reasons of height disparity!

I'm 5' and my boy is 6'2 and we kiss and have sex at the same time, horizontal, against the wall etc... its not so much a difference in torso lengths as difference in leg lengths, if you know what I mean? If I'm on top I can lean over and easiy kiss him, when he's on top he sorta bends inward? And 69ing is easiest on our sides where he sorta curls up a little bit...
and @ Jen, that's the problem we have too! But sometimes it adds to it? We've done some crazy contortion in his little car...:p
I hear you there! My boyfriend is four inches shy of being two whole feet taller than me...I'm 5'4 and he's just over 7'0 (no, he does not play basketball). We have to get a little more creative with things, but luckily most of his height is in his legs. So when we're in bed together, kissing during sex isn't entirely out of the question...but we do have to move a little awkwardly to be able to do it.
When I started dating I use to lie about my age so I dated older and of course taller women. I only stand 5' 5" and my first love making partner was 5'11". Very akward but satisfying. She had long legs so in the bed room department we was somewhat eye to eye. I understand that some positions may not be eye to eye but he being the taller one has to find a way to accomadate you. For example doggie style he can still reach your face and kiss you while in action. Standing up may be a little more difficult but if he leans himself against the top of the dresser or a desk he can actually arch his back while you are upright. It will be more of a ride style but with you in the air and you legs wrap around him and put your hands around his neck. You control the motion or he can grab you by the hips and guide you up and down. Just dont let him get to carried away, because I drop a girl once doing that.
Me and my boyfriend have a foot height difference! I am 5ft and he is 6ft. :)
We manage just fine? Shower sex is possible but who wants that anyway? You get a cold back. :p We use the sofa and I go on top (in fact, any position where I am on top is a winner)... we do it doggy style... he goes on top and rests on his elbows... he goes up on his knees when he's on top and puts my ankles over my head...
Given I am quite flexible. Maybe we hit lucky.
