Couple practicing Kama Sutra positions on bed

Kama Sutra Positions for Couples

The Kama Sutra is an ancient book from India. It lists many different positions for couples to use during sex. We cover eight of them here. Each one has a description of how to get into it and what to do. You can use your regular bed for all of them. Talk to your partner before you begin. Tell them the steps and ask if they want to try. Adjust as you go if needed. These are meant to be fun to explore together.

Sit facing your partner. Cross your legs around each other. Put your arms around the other person. Rock your hips back and forth. You can kiss and look into each others eyes the whole time. It requires some leg flexibility so take it easy.

Pro-Tip

Choose a soft area like the bed or floor with blankets. If your legs get tired switch to a different position after a short time. Make sure both of you feel stable.

8. Pressed Position ✨

Action

The woman lies on her back with her legs together and straight out. The man gets on top with his legs outside of hers. This creates a tighter space. He moves with smaller strokes. You can add kissing on the face and neck easily.

Pro-Tip

The woman can squeeze her thighs together during the motion to make it feel more intense for the man.

Spicy Twist

Try rolling slightly to the side from this position without separating your bodies.

Final Tip

You do not have to try all eight positions at once. Pick one or two that look interesting and give them a go. See what you both enjoy and remember to keep talking. Over time you will learn more about each other this way.
