"The sitting sex positions we've tried have all been great. It's like they give us a chance to take it easy and really connect physically."

Sitting and Kneeling
Sex Positions

Sitting sex positions are not the most popular, but that doesn't mean that they aren't fun. Sitting sex positions typically have the woman sitting on the man's lap, either facing him or facing away.

Sitting sex positions are often associated with spiritual sex, and indeed seated sex positions encourage a lot of body contact, eye contact, and a slower pace of sex. Sitting positions don't make quick or hard thrusting easy; the range of motion for both partners is limited since neither has much leverage in most variations. Sex in sitting positions does, however, build sexual energy slowly with subtle pelvic thrusts that can lead to great orgasms.These sex positions are intimate and gentle.

Kneeling positions, like sitting sex positions, don't make many top sex positions lists, but they can add variety to your sexual repertoire. Kneeling positions often afford more thrust and power than seated positions do, but kneeling sex positions are still good for a slower lovemaking session.

Kneeling positions can put strain on the knees, so they aren't the best positions for everyone, but some find kneeling positions to be quite pleasurable. If both partners are limber and adventurous, than kneeling sex positions can be a lot of fun to try.

Though they aren't for everyone, sitting or kneeling positions are varied and playful and bring a range of pleasures and sensations. They are great for adventurous partners to try.
