Date ideas
On your anniversary you have time to spend together without rushing. These eight positions come from the Kama Sutra and are adjusted for normal couples. Read the steps before you get started. You might want to pick your favorite two or three for the night. Set the mood with music if you want. Most of them work on a regular bed. Focus on how the positions feel and what your partner says. Communicate clearly about what works and what does not.
Action
Lie on your back with a pillow under your hips. Keep your knees bent up. Your partner lies on top facing you and enters. The extra height from the pillow changes the angle and depth of penetration. You can see each other's faces easily.
Pro-Tip
Talk with your partner about how the angle feels. Adjust the pillow until it is comfortable for both of you.
Spicy Twist
Keep eye contact and kiss slowly while your partner moves.
Action
Sit facing each other on the bed. Cross your legs and have your partner sit in your lap. Wrap your legs around each other. Hold each other with your arms and rock your bodies together slowly. This allows for lots of touching.
Pro-Tip
Sit on the edge of the bed if your legs get numb. Support each other's weight with your arms.
Spicy Twist
Run your hands over your partner's back and neck during the rocking.
Action
Have your partner lie on their back. Straddle them facing their feet. Lower yourself down onto them. Use your legs to move up and down at your own pace. Lean forward to change how it feels inside.
Pro-Tip
Place your hands on their legs for balance. Start slow to find a rhythm that works.
Spicy Twist
Look over your shoulder at them as you move up and down.
