The different ways in which a P can enter a V is seemingly endless. Yet millions of people worldwide consider <\/span>missionary<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>doggy style<\/span><\/a> to be their go-to move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s all good and well if it gets you off every single time, but aren\u2019t you intrigued about other <\/span>sex positions<\/span>? Ones that arguably bring on an even bigger climax? Now\u2019s the time to get experimenting\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The lotus sex position comes from the beloved book, the <\/span>Kama Sutra<\/span><\/i><\/a>. And despite the fact that many of the sex positions from this book are pretty difficult to do, this one really isn\u2019t all that hard. And the payoff is golden!<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Do the Lotus Sex Position<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ready for action? Great! To do the lotus sex position, the man will be on the bottom and the woman will be on top. The male should find a comfortable place to sit, such as a bed or the floor. He will then get into the lotus position.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lotus position is a <\/span>meditation<\/span> pose from ancient India and involves sitting cross-legged with each foot placed on the opposite thigh. For the lotus sex position however, the male can opt for a simple crossing of the legs or extending the legs forward with knees slightly bent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once he is in position, the female can then straddle him while wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his torso. In this way, she is fully supported.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those who have tried the lotus sex position but find it difficult to initiate comfortable penetration, you could simply enjoy the position as a means to be intimate sans penetration. For example: the woman could grind on her partner at her own speed, creating stimulation and orgasm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Every Couple Should Try the Lotus Sex Position<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to sex and <\/span>intimacy<\/span>, it\u2019s a passionate dance between the physical and the emotional. And when two partners enjoy the lotus sex position, it gives them the chance to get even closer. In this position, they can hug, kiss, caress, and maintain eye contact with each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful position to just practice eye gazing, syncing your breath, or passionate kissing,\u201d <\/span><\/i>says Jenn Gunsaullus, a sex expert and psychologist. <\/span>\u201cIt\u2019s about slowing down and being present with each other and tapping into your personal and joint energies.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

To further enhance the intimate energy, both partners could engage in <\/span>tantric breathing<\/a>, which can enhance the connection you feel with yourself and with your partner. Tantric breathing is when the core muscles are contracted and then released fully with every breath.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Meg Berry, a tantra expert:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt [tantric breathing] really teaches you how to manage your energy, and does build up your energy and vitality so that you feel ready to take on the world.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

A Less Intimate Lotus Sex Position<\/span><\/h2>\n

For those who aren\u2019t in a couple, or don\u2019t fancy getting too intimate just yet, there are a few adaptations that can be made to the lotus sex position. In this way, one can enjoy the position without the lovey-dovey aspect.<\/span><\/p>\n

To do this, the woman on top can put her hands behind her back whilst on top of her partner, and put some of her weight on her wrists. To make this more comfortable for her, he can grab onto her hips and take control.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Best Ways for Her to Achieve Orgasm in the Lotus Sex Position<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Put Your Back into It<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re in position, arch your back. This will make a huge difference, as it will allow your vulva and your clitoris to be stimulated via your partner\u2019s pelvis. Alternatively, lean back to allow a bit of <\/span>g-spot stimulation<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Merry Go Round<\/span><\/h3>\n

To achieve orgasm, you\u2019ll want to gyrate in small circles. This is a lot easier when your partner grabs a hold of your hips and butt.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Get Clitoral<\/span><\/h3>\n

Clitoral stimulation is always a treat. So whilst in the middle of your tryst, why not rub your clit\u2026 just the way you like it. Or, you could opt for a clitoral stimulation sex toy. The <\/span>SONA 2 Cruise<\/span><\/a>, for example, is a winner when it comes to achieving your best orgasm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
