The Lotus sex position illustration

Position of the week: the Lotus

This week’s position of the week is the Lotus. The Lotus is a wonderfully intimate position that lets you gaze deep into each other’s eyes. It takes a little flexibility and core strength from both of you, but it’s pretty straightforward to pull off. Have fun practising! We’ll be back next week with fresh inspiration.

How to do it

The receiving partner sits on their bottom with legs crossed, fairly close together. It’s the same shape as the classic yoga pose, the cross-legged seat. The other partner then sits on their lap, facing them. In the Lotus, you hold each other tightly by wrapping your arms and legs around each other’s back.

If the partner on top leans back slightly, it makes it easier for the other to stimulate the G-spot. And if crossing your legs underneath isn’t comfortable, no worries — straightening them out works just as well.

Did you know… the Lotus is so intimate, it’s perfect for slow sex?

Combine sex toys with the Lotus

Try a vibrating cock ring with the Lotus. It’s designed to help keep things firm for longer while adding extra clitoral stimulation. A butt plug can also be a fun addition to this position for both partners.
