Date ideas
Your anniversary deserves more than dinner and a movie. These eight positions from the Kama Sutra give you practical ways to be close with your partner. Follow the steps for each one. Start with easier ones if you have not tried them before. Talk openly about what you both want. Make sure the room is comfortable with enough space on the bed. Pay attention to each other's reactions. You can stop and switch at any time. The focus is on enjoying the night together.
Action
The woman lies on her back on the bed. Her partner lies on top facing her. She can wrap her legs around his body or lift them up high. Both partners move their hips in rhythm. This allows for close contact and eye contact.
Pro-Tip
Put a pillow under her lower back at the beginning to improve the angle and reduce strain on the back. Communicate what feels best.
Spicy Twist
Maintain eye contact the whole time without looking away.
Action
Sit facing your partner on the bed. The man crosses his legs. The woman sits in his lap and wraps her legs around his waist. Hold each other tight with arms. Rock your bodies back and forth together in a steady motion.
Pro-Tip
Make sure you sit on a stable surface so you do not fall over. Use your arms to support each other during the rocking.
Spicy Twist
Breathe in sync with your partner as you move together slowly.
Action
The man lies on his back on the bed. The woman straddles him with her knees on the bed. She lowers herself down facing him. She moves her hips up and down or in a circular motion. He can hold her waist to help with the rhythm.
Pro-Tip
Lean your upper body forward or back to see what angle feels best for both of you during the movement.
Spicy Twist
Have the man sit up against pillows so you can kiss while moving.
