8 Kama Sutra Positions for Couples

These positions come from the Kama Sutra. You and your partner can use them to change your usual routine. Each one has simple steps to follow. Most need only a bed. Start with short sessions and adjust based on what feels comfortable. Pay attention to your partner and speak up if you need a change. The focus is on movement and closeness rather than perfect technique. Pick one when you want something different.
