If you\u2019re looking to upgrade your bedroom experience with a mix of intense depth and cozy intimacy, the pretzel position (often called the pretzel dip<\/em>) just might become your new favorite. The pretzel position is when one partner lies on their side, and another partner enters while kneeling or straddling the person lying down. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a position that’s a warm, tangled-up embrace but packs a punch of adventure, too. It can easily become a regular position for couples who want to stay close enough to whisper sweet nothings while exploring new depths.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How To Do the Pretzel Dip Position: A Step-by-Step Guide<\/span><\/h2>\n

The pretzel dip position is an intermediate difficulty level that requires some coordination\u2014but the payoff is huge. Intimacy level is increased, skin-to-skin contact is never-ending, and eye contact is at an all-time high. Ready to get tangled? Here\u2019s how to achieve the dip angle that gives the position its name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/b> Partner A lies on their side (the \u201creceiver\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/b> Partner B (the \u201cgiver\u201d) kneels or straddles Partner A’s bottom leg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/b> The “Interlock”\u2014Partner A wraps their top leg around Partner B\u2019s waist or shoulder. This position opens the pelvis and creates the signature pretzel position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/b> Partner B leans forward, allowing for deep penetration and full body contact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro-tip: Toss a pillow under Partner A\u2019s hips to support and maintain the “dip” angle longer and reduce strain on the lower back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beginner vs. Advanced Pretzel Sex Variations\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Not every pretzel position needs to be a work of art right away. You can easily modify the position to fit your desires and flexibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The beginner \u201chalf-pretzel\u201d position is a modified position where, instead of hooking the top leg over the shoulder, Partner A rests their top leg on Partner B\u2019s hip. If you\u2019re less flexible, or if resting the leg on the shoulder is too deep, it can be a comfortable position with the same benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The advanced, deeper dip is when Partner B leans further back, which targets the G-spot and can also encourage clitoral stimulation by Partner A or Partner B.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
