Hanger
A 180 twist on Wheelbarrow, the Hanger family differs in that the woman faces upwards... and is amongst the most difficult positions to practice. With the woman's arms placed behind her, it can be tough to maintain for extended periods, and keeping a good grip on her waist can get tricky as things get hot and sweaty.
We highly recommend that you don't jump into this one at full throttle, and that you place some pillows or couch cushions under the woman to help soften the blow from any unscheduled landings. This is not a position that most people will be able to execute going hard in.

Position Variations
Hanger
At the head of Hanger family variation, the standard variation features the woman's legs an upright position, cradling the man's neck / head to keep balance. Not the most natural position to get into, we've found it easiest to start out with the woman lying on the edge of the bed to get the basic alignment, then rotating her upper body until she can reach down and plant her hands on the floor. If the height difference proves to be extra challenging, you may find it more enjoyable for the woman to plant her hands on an elevated surface, like an ottoman... just make sure it is very stable.
Lazy Hanger
In the Lazy variation of the Hanger, the woman's legs hang loosely around the man's hips. This tends to have a counter-balancing effect for women, though it can be a little trickier for men to keep a good grip. We recommend for the man to bend his knees as much as he can comfortably, so that the woman can rest as much of her lower body weight on the man's thighs, and reduce the strain on his upper body.
Mixed Hanger
Once you master the other forms of Hanger, you'll be ready to try out all of the Mixed variations! Potentially much more challenging to balance, additional caution is advised to avoid injury. We recommend exploring the range of options by using the variation you feel most comfortable in as a starting point, and spreading outward from there. With the high difficulty rating of this family, combining a Tilt + Wrap might not be the best starting point for most people, and feel free to post any interesting experiences in the comments below!
Tilted Hanger
In the Tilted variant of the Hanger, both of the woman's legs are positioned on the same side of the man's body. Although a subtle difference, the clearance on one side of the man's body provides the opportunity to get more creative with the angle of penetration, though it can make balancing much tougher. Given the tougher balance, we would like to remind you to pad your floor and to use extra caution with this one until you get a better handle on your limits.
Wrapped Hanger
One of the safest forms of the Hanger, and we mean that relatively speaking, the Wrapped variation is likely the best place for most couples to begin with this family. Having her legs wrapped around the man has a lot of benefits; it increases skin contact, takes a lot of the load off, provides stability, and allows the woman to help guide the pace and depth by squeezing her legs. As in the Lazy variation, we recommend to use the man's upper thighs to rest the woman's legs against to reduce the upper body strain as much as possible.
