Position of the Week: Sitting Pretty

Strap in, solo players, it’s time for Sitting Pretty. This seated solo sex position is ideal for exploring self-pleasure without overcomplicating things.

How?

Remain seated in your chair, or wherever feels most comfortable, and part your legs. From here, you’re in prime position to start stroking your intimate parts. Just make sure you have everything you need close by (like lube and tissues), so nothing interrupts your solo play.

Why?

Sometimes, the best way to explore your sexuality is to play alone. In this meditative position, you can easily reach your clitoris or penis while you close your eyes and explore your fantasies.

Not only that, but you can use your chair for extra stimulation by gently rocking as you sit. And, if you’re new to sex toys, staying seated will keep things simple while you find out which sensations work for you (and which ones don’t).

Try

Lube is always a good idea, even when you’re just using your hands. It reduces friction while keeping you slick and wet for longer, enhancing all those good sensations. For even more intense climaxes, try orgasm gel.

Don’t forget your nipples either, which you can easily caress while seated. If your hands are both occupied, try nipple suckers instead.

Make it even easier

Limited mobility shouldn’t get in your way with this simple, seated sex position. But, for additional comfort, you could wedge a pillow or blanket behind you.

While seated, lift your feet and rest them on a low stool or yoga block. This will give you even easier access if you want to try caressing your balls or experimenting with internal stimulation.

Make it even better

Your hands might be magic but bringing a toy into your solo session could unlock whole new levels of pleasure. For super discreet play, try a mini wand vibrator, which can stimulate any external pleasure point.

If you have a penis, try a penis stroker for tantalising textures that your hands could never emulate. If you have a vulva, our Rose 2-in-1 Egg Vibrator will thrill you inside and out.

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.
