10. EROTIC WRINKLE
position name reverse
How it is The man reclines with his back arched as the woman squirms over him, her belly turning.
Even if the woman rocks on the dance floor, nothing guarantees that she will be able to bring her hips to bed. In addition to the softness in the pelvis, she needs to have strength in her legs to support herself – if the weight is on her arms, she tires quickly and, if she is on her partner, he feels discomfort. The man needs to have a strong enough back and arms to hold the position for the duration of the binge.
9. LOVING PASTURE
position name union of a cow
How it is The woman bends her torso forward, spreads her legs and rests her hands on the ground, while the man holds her by the waist
Do you think it’s easy to imitate a cow? Not everyone can stand for a long time with feet and hands on the ground. The pose is pure stretching! Also, if there is not good lubrication, the partner may end up with pain or even inflammation in the bladder.
8. LOOKING LIKE A BRIDGE
position name wide aperture
How it is The woman arches her back and lifts her midsection, leaning on her shoulders and feet. The man supports himself with his knees and arms
If you don’t enjoy push-ups even at the gym, imagine in bed! In this position, the man needs to avoid putting his body weight on the torso so as not to hurt his partner. She will also sweat to maintain the POSITION – without falling or injuring her spine. At least the position allows direct contact between the clitoris and the male pubis
7. RISKY GIRA-GIRA
position name Over
How it is The woman sits on top of the man and turns toward his feet. Then she turns around and faces her partner again.
Because she moves one leg at a time as she turns, the woman needs a lot of balance. Hands can help, as long as she can distribute her body weight well. Otherwise, it’s sure to fall. And a fall, in this position, can mean penile trauma, with a chance of fracture (yes, you can fracture the penis!)
6. BETWEEN THE CROSS AND THE SWORD
position name half-lotus
How it is Lying down, the woman folds one leg over the other, as in a yoga posture. The man leans on his knees and arms
Both he and she need to be very zen! Even women with a lot of stretching experience find it difficult to relax in this position. Those who take the risk find that they cannot keep it for a reasonable amount of time without feeling discomfort and pain in the groin. The man, on the other hand, needs to hold back the excitement: if he exaggerates in the lullaby, it can cause a distension in the partner
5. THERE IS BODYBUILDING
position name suspended union
How it is Leaning against the wall, the man holds the woman by the thighs or with his hands under her buttocks. She wraps him around the neck
It goes without saying: the POSITION – it is quite difficult if the partner is very overweight. Even among skinny ones, it only works when the couple is young. Those who have back problems should also avoid. And, again, there is a risk of injury or even a fracture to the penis.
4. LEGS WHAT I WANT YOU FOR
position name half-press
How it is The woman extends one leg and bends the other, placing the sole of the foot on the chest of the partner, who reclines
Just like the “suspended union”, this one also poses a risk of trauma to the said-whose and cannot be performed by anyone with a back problem. It’s hard to get comfortable: the woman has to make a huge effort to stay in POSITION – and the man has to be careful not to lunge too hard and end up hurting both of them. In addition, the POSITION – it is uncomfortable and cramps
3. FOOT IN THE BELLY
position name woman of indra
How it is With her legs bent back, the woman rests her feet on her partner’s abdomen, resting her buttocks on his thighs.
The vagina is fully open. If the pleasure is great, so is the difficulty: the contact between the penile glans and the cervix can be very uncomfortable for the woman. In addition, a more excited flexion by the man can cause discomfort in his own abdomen or in his partner’s breasts.
2. VERY SHORT DURATION
position name hitting a nail
How it is The woman puts her heel on his forehead. His leg and foot act as the “hammer” and his head as the “nail”.
Imagine the flexibility a woman needs to have! It also helps if the partner is understandable and a little flustered: if he goes too far forward, it causes pain and even distensions in the poor woman’s groin. For the man, the biggest risk is the penis slipping out and suffering a fracture. On top of that, the pose is exhausting. It only takes a few minutes for the woman to get tired and the mood to end.
1. GRAB THE CEILING FAN AND GO!
position name revolving
How it is It starts with the basics mom and dad. Then, with the penis functioning as an axis, the man rotates his body until he ends up with his head between her legs.
Divided into four stages, this one is only for true alcove athletes! Something worthy of a Cirque du Soleil acrobat. To rotate the body without taking the penis out of the vagina, all the skills from the previous positions (and then some) are needed. The man can fall on the woman, injuring her or seriously injuring the bilau itself. As if that were not enough, oscillations are also capable of triggering crises in men suffering from migraines or labyrinthitis. Nothing better than nausea and nausea to ruin once and for all romanticism at H-time!
