Sex Positions

The Sphinx

The Sphinx conjures up visions of a mythical royal creature, half-lion and half-human, and in many ways the Sphinx sex position just might live up to the name. The woman lies on her belly. Her head is up, with her upper body weight supported by her forearms. One of her legs can be bent out to the side, while the other is outstretched behind her. Here she looks similar to the great Egyptian statue. He is on top and behind her, supporting his weight on his arms. His legs can be bent or stretched out behind him.

The angle of her bottom, coupled with the pressure of his body on her pelvis, will stimulate her vulva. She can make sure her clitoris is rubbing against the bed while his penis is hitting her G-spot, leading to a powerful blended clitoral and G-spot orgasm.

Alternating the thrusting from slow and deep to quick and shallow can tease her and give him a sense of control. Taking breaks from intense thrusting is really the key when it comes to building up arousal for an intense climax.

Because partners can’t see each other’s faces or make eye contact, communication becomes especially important in rear-entry positions. Letting it out verbally is sometimes more arousing than the physical act itself.
