Sex Position: The Tortoise

accreditation

The Tortoise position is slow, hard, smooth and sensual, but it’s also really fun to do! And if you and your partner are having a little trouble doing it, it might have you laughing instead of screaming with pleasure. Either way, there’s nothing to lose!

Lay flat on the bed, face down and let him straddle you from behind. You should be able to feel the pressure of his body weight on your buttocks and hips. Your legs should be straight and closed, so that when he enters you from behind, it’s a tight squeeze.

Make sure you have something to grip onto, like the top of the mattress, because although the thrusting should be slow and smooth, The Tortoise is designed for deep penetration so the thrusting may be hard as well.

Your movements should become synchronised, this means that as he moves forward to penetrate deeply, move your body backward to increase the intensity of the sex.

Why you’ll like it:
Even though he is on top and is evidently in control, it is you who guides him. You have complete control over your own clitoral stimulation. Between him and the bed sheet, one will give you consistency during sex and the other will give you the exact amount of pleasure you want. Let’s hope the right one is doing the right thing!

Why he’ll like it:
He will be very happy to be taking credit for all of your stimulation. He can heighten your pleasure by opening and closing your legs and this will definitely excite him. He may be turned on by rubbing your back or spanking your buttocks a bit, you may want to ask him not to smack too hard!

How to vary it:
If he uses his forearms to lift himself up, he may be able to give deeper penetration. He can increase the intimacy between the two of you by laying flat on top of you and holding your breasts. This way he can whisper into your ear if you’re into talking during sex.

Drawbacks:
Given the intense movement, a heavier partner may squash you a little, so have him use his upper body strength to keep the weight of his torso off your back. Also, if you’re a little busty on top, you may have some difficulty laying flat.

Tip:
Dirty talk or Care talk are nice ways of encouragement from either of you. Please note that the duvet and pillows here are not required and should be discarded, immediately!
