This position, with the lovers lying side by side
and facing one another, is easy to slip into after
mutual masturbation, and can be a prelude to
rolling over with either partner on top. Here, the
woman has her leg wrapped round her partner’s
body to facilitate deeper penetration: she pulls
him towards her with her leg as he thrusts. The
partners can kiss and touch each other’s genitals
while making love in this position.
Side By Side
Lap
This is a position that may suggest itself while
cuddling on the sofa. The man sits with the
woman straddling his lap, facing him. She
controls the pace, they can kiss and he can
caress her breasts. She moves up and down on
him, supporting herself with her knees on the
sofa, and her arms around his neck. If they use a
dining chair, she can keep her feet on the floor
and hold on to the chair back for support if
necessary. If she faces away from him, they will
be able to achieve deeper penetration, and she
could support herself against furniture in front of
her.
Head to toe
The man lies on his back with his legs spread and his
penis inside the woman, who also lies down on her
back, with her legs spread across his, her toes pointing
to his head, and her head away from him. The woman is
in control. The partners cannot see each other and
sensation is concentrated on the genitals. This position
can be adopted from one in which the lovers sit on the
bed facing one another, their legs interlaced.
Futon
For this position you need to try out all your
furniture to find a piece of the correct height. The
woman lies on the edge of a table, futon or bed
covered with quilts and pillows, and spreads her
legs wide. The man can begin by kneeling to give
her cunnilingus, then he enters her, supporting
himself on his knees and holding her legs. This
affords him a great deal of control, and the angle
of penetration is steep.
Cuissade
This position is known as ‘cuissade’, from the
French cuisse,meaning thigh. The woman lies on
her back, with the man at her side. She raises the
leg nearest to him and rests it on his body, and
he enters from under her thigh, with his nearest
leg crossing her body. They can hold one another
and kiss, and the position is a very intimate one,
possibly because of the ‘secretive’ form of entry.
The woman can exert a certain amount of
restraint with her thigh, which can make it more
exciting.
Cross
Here the woman lies on her back on the bed and
the man lies diagonally across her. She opens
her legs to allow him to enter and he rocks gently
from side to side. She can guide his movements
with the pressure of her hands. This position is
somewhat easier to maintain if the man lies
beneath on his back and the woman is in control.
Crawl
Deep penetration can be achieved with the
woman on all fours and her partner kneeling
behind her. This position gives both lovers the
opportunity to thrust against one another, and the
man may also caress his partner’s breasts,
buttocks and clitoris. Rear entry positions like this
one are ideal when both partners are in the mood
for vigorous rather than tender lovemaking. A
variation is for both partners to stand with the
woman bending forward and supporting herself
against furniture.
Astride
With the man lying on his back on the bed, the
woman can sit astride him and control the pace
of their lovemaking. Facing him, she may squat
on her haunches for a more powerful bouncing
movement, or, as here, kneel, supporting herself
with her hands. This way, she is free to lean
forward and kiss his mouth. From this position it
is easy for her to increase the intimacy by lying
with her whole body along his. A variation is for
her to face away from him, increasing the depth
of penetration.
