Position of the Week: The Corkscrew

How?

Start off in Missionary position. The top partner then uses their forearms and feet to swivel round, so that they are lying at a 180-degree angle to the other partner.

Why?

Penetrating at this angle slows down the pace and encourages extra communication between you and your lover about what’s hitting the right spots. It also requires more concentration than your average position, which helps slow down the journey to climaxing.

Try

If you have trouble maintaining penetration in this position, swivel until you’re angled to more of an ‘X’ shape with the penetrating partner’s feet and legs closer to the other partner’s feet.

Make it even better

A position enhancing cushion placed under the receiving partner’s butt or the giving partner’s torso will change up the angle and sensations in an instant.

Not the position for you?

We're working to make sure that everyone is represented on our website, regardless of who you love, so we'll be using a variety of gender depictions in our Position of the Week posts. This will include straight, gay, lesbian, and gender neutral couples, but all positions will have details in the description of how to make them work for your own relationship dynamic.
