Sex Positions

Sideways Samba

Sideways Samba position provides maximum penetration and deeper thrusting than can be achieved in the traditional form of spooning. The woman lies on her side with her back to him, similar to her position in traditional spooning. In this position, however, her legs are straight out in front of her at 90 degrees in the shape of an “L.” He lies behind her on his side, still in the spoon position. He may raise himself up onto his hands, placing his outer hand on the other side of her body next to her chest to assist with maneuvering into penetration.

She can shift her hips around to find what feels best for her and to hit different spots inside the vagina. She can keep her legs closed for a feeling of tighter penetration while also keeping the thrusts shallow, or arch her back and spread her legs to increase the depth of the thrusts.

Penetration and thrusting are mostly under his control. Because of the angle, he may also do more intense thrusting. The slippery angle of this variation can sometimes cause his penis to slip out. He can use this to his advantage, to prolong orgasm and build on the excitement for more intense pleasure.

There’s nothing like a little restraint to bring a naughty edge to sex. With her consent, he can bind her legs together around the ankles using a tie, a strap from a bathrobe, or one of her scarves. This will keep her legs together, a key to this position, and add to the power play between the couple.
