I’m sure you’ve heard time and time again that sex doesn’t have to be all about prioritizing an orgasm… sometimes it’s important to be extremely present with your partner’s body and pleasure, feeling the depths of your connection as you’re engaging in the most deep, passionate and intimate sex.

 

This position is all about tantric sex – the idea of merging the physical with the non-physical, almost allowing yourselves to feel like you’re traveling through time and space into different dimensions and realities. It’s about the bond and closeness, and expanding out your pleasure for extended periods of time to truly build into that space – the lotus position can bring you there.

 

Ok – it resonates. What’s next? Well, our guide to “The Lotus” position should give you all the information you need to know, from learning how to do it, to pros, cons and variations of the position.

How to do “The Lotus” Sex Position:

The penis or strap-on owner sits, the giver then seats themselves on top of them facing the receiver. You intertwine your legs, almost criss-crossed as seen in the graphic. The giver then slowly inserts the penis or strap-on, and allows penetration by focusing on a more intimate rocking/grinding motion.

What are the pros?

  • This position is all about prioritizing intimate, passionate, slow sex.
  • The position allows for physical closeness with your partner.
  • Eye-gazing.
  • If the giver leans back, they can initiate g-spot stimulation.
  • Hands are free for stimulating erogenous zones; nipples, clitoris, etc.
  • The different variations can allow you to explore anal play.

What are the cons?

  • Can require a certain level of flexibility to maintain the position for extended periods of time.
  • You may struggle to hold the weight of the other depending on how you’re seated, differences in body size, etc.

What are the variations?

  • Instead of having your legs intertwined, the giver can instead have their legs draped over the receivers shoulders.
  • Instead of being seated on a bed, this position can instead be done on a chair with feet touching the floor. This would allow you both to be supported from the ground-up.
