"I feel so connected to my partner in the lotus position - we're touching in so many places, and looking into each other's eyes - it just feels right."

The Lotus

For a zen-like sexual experience, the Lotus is a great position. It's intimate, I daresay spiritual, but also a deep penetrating position. To do it, he sits with his legs crossed (alternately, he can be on his knees, as pictured above). She faces him and wraps her legs around his waist, wrapping them behind his back. Both partner are free to fondle buttocks, shoulders, and breasts, increasing the chances of both pleasure and orgasm in both partners.

What's good about The Lotus: This position is great for slower sex that builds in intensity. The Lotus is the most common position in spiritual sex practices because of the intimacy and comfort. It combines body contact, deep penetration, and a limited range of motion that makes for longer lovemaking.

What's bad about The Lotus: This intimate position doesn't allow for a big range of motion or heavy thrusting.

Best for:if you're practicing for Tantra.
