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.
A refined take on the face-to-face classic: the partner on top shifts upward and both move in a gentle rocking motion rather than thrusting. Designed for maximum contact.
One partner lies back while the other kneels astride them and sets the pace. The partner on top controls speed, depth and angle, which makes it a favourite for confidence and comfort.
One partner kneels on all fours while the other kneels behind them. A popular, energetic position that leaves hands free and is easy to adjust for comfort.
