"Sitting Sex Positions"

You might think of sitting sex positions as involving a chair- and so it can! But there's another way of making sitting sex into an enjoyable interlude, and that's to include it in the flow of sex as you move from one position to another in a prolonged session of lovemaking. In the pictures below, the couple have moved from woman on top to kneeling to sitting in one easy sequence.

Sitting sex, especially sitting sex in a chair, is especially good for producing an almost meditative state, a relaxed and dreamy state of mind where a couple can allow themselves to drift off without feeling pressured to perform or keep sex going. It's certainly not a sexual position suitable for vigorous sex: it's much more for slow, sensuous, thoughtful sex where the couple can kiss lovingly and tenderly. When a woman is sitting on top of her man in the chair position, she is much more in control of sex than he is. She can move gently up and down, embrace him more or less tightly, or rock her pelvis back and forth - all movements which will produce different sensations and waves of sexual and emotional feelings. If she is supple enough and confident enough, she can even lean as far back as she can get, though like the woman on top positions, this may bend her man's penis further down than is comfortable for him.

There is one variation of sitting sex which is suitable for wilder, more abandoned sex, and that's the edge of the bed sitting position. The man sits on the edge of the bed, his legs dangling over the edge, and his partner sits on him, facing him, her legs bent at the knees and her shins resting on the edge of the bed outside her man's legs. She can hold his shoulders and the man can place his feet on the floor to give them stability. In this sex position a woman can rotate her hips so as to produce strong sensations of friction between her clit and his body, and on his penis in her vagina.

Sitting sex positions seem to be the least popular of all, according to most surveys. This must be for a reason! That might be that we are simply accustomed to having sex in a bed, or it could be because it's quite difficult to get good penetration and ease of movement. If a man is sitting and the woman is going to ride him, she has to have somewhere to put her legs. The pictures above show how she can do this. Obviously these sex positions will require more physical effort and feel less comfortable than a sexual position where both partners' bodies are supported by a bed or the floor.
