Position of the Week: Aphrodite

Step into your divine era with this open, sensual position where the views – and the sensations – will take you to the clouds above...

How?

One partner lies back, legs parted, ready to receive every ounce of pleasure. The other kneels to their side – a front-row seat to the hottest show on earth. Maintain eye contact and start by using your hands to stimulate each other; you can mirror each other's movements or go at your own rhythm.

Don’t forget to use lube to enhance sensation and reduce friction. You can even try a bullet vibrator to increase intensity and teasing for both partners.

Why?

This is the stuff erotic dreams are made of – full body visibility, intimacy, and that gorgeous power exchange between giver and receiver.

The reclining partner gets to relax, enjoy, and completely let go, while the kneeler savours every moan and movement. It’s seductive, vulnerable in the best way, and incredibly romantic. Plus, it’s versatile: the kneeling partner can provide all the pleasure – or you can both give at the same time.

Make it even easier...

Use pillows or a firm cushion under the back, head, or knees of the reclining partner to create support and ease pressure. If there’s still tension in your lower back, try bending one or both knees, with feet flat on the bed or floor.

For the kneeling partner, a folded blanket or sturdy bolster can soften things up under the knees or give you something to sit on instead.

Make it even better...

Want to make Aphrodite even more delicious? Add toys – clit vibes or suction toys like We-Vibe's Melt 2 will feel incredible on the reclining partner’s clitoris (or nipples) while the top partner’s fingers slip inside.

If the reclining partner has a penis, try a magic wand. Trace their nipples, balls, perineum, shaft – any erogenous zone where they love to be teased. Use your mouth and hands like instruments: tease thighs, stroke chests, kiss everywhere. Lube is your bestie – especially with penetration or extended touch.

Eye contact takes it deeper but so does soft talking or shared fantasies. You’re not just going through the motions – you’re orchestrating a sensual symphony. Take it slow, build it up, and let every inch feel worshipped.

Make it even kinkier...

Craving a little edge? Try this: have the reclining partner wear a gag to create helpless, moan-filled energy. Introduce sensation play with a pinwheel, feather tickler, or flogger – light touch or spicy sting, your call.

Explore a roleplay scene: worshipper and deity, art model and painter, or voyeur and exhibitionist. You could even use a vibrator with a timer and make them wait for the climax. Sexy torment? Utterly divine.
