8 Positions for Closer Bonding

Many couples look for ways to feel closer during sex. These positions emphasize staying near your partner and seeing their face. They give opportunities for more touching and slower movements than typical quick sessions. You can do all of them at home in your regular bed. One position uses a pillow to help with the angle. Talk to each other about what feels right as you go. Trying new positions like these can make your time together more interesting and satisfying.
