Reason
Difficulty

The classic face-to-face position: one partner lies back while the other lies on top, supported on their arms. Simple, close and full of eye contact, it suits almost everyone.

How to do it

One partner lies on their back with knees bent or legs relaxed.

The other partner lies on top between their legs, taking their weight on forearms or hands.

Start slowly and find a shared rhythm before changing pace.

Tips

A firm pillow under the lower back of the partner beneath changes the angle and often feels better.

Keep your faces close: this is the easiest position for kissing and talking.
