There's no question
that certain sex
positions facilitate
higher levels of emotional intimacy. These positions allow a couple to go beyond
their experience, concentrating the intimacy of their encounters and infusing
them with emotional meaning. Eye contact, kissing,
caresses, trusting, and watching are all emotional complements to the physical
experience, and these eight sex positions promote that emotional connection.
Woman On Top
A man lying down with
the woman on top can be a vulnerable position for both lovers, which in itself can create emotional
intimacy. He must rely on her decisions, while she is bared and exposed for his
analysis. This sex position is ideal for lots of touching and intimate
caresses.
Crossed Legs or Lotus
The man sitting cross-legged, or in the actual yogic lotus position, and his woman on his lap, arms and legs wrapped around him, the partners are fully entwined and face to face. The lotus sex position offers stunning emotional intimacy.
Enhanced Missionary
The missionary
position is an
intimate way to have sex, with faces close and full-body contact. To boost the
emotional intimacy, the man can hold the woman's butt or move his legs to the
outside of hers to more fully envelop her body. And if a couple has so proneness, this position also offers a good
approach for anal sex by retaining face-to-face emotional intimacy.
Spooning
Although there is no
eye contact in spooning, this sex position creates intense emotional contact as
the man protectively cradles the woman with his entire body. It's also a
wonderful position for touching, squeezing, rubbing and even hand-holding,
which can be incredibly intimate during sex.
Hold Me
In this position the man holds the woman as if she's just jumped into his arms with her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck, this position is conducive to slow movements, passionate kisses and romantic effect.
Hands Free
With the man sitting
on a chair, and his partner astride him, facing him, with her feet on the
floor, the couple not only has face-to-face contact, but also maximum access
for tantalizing kisses, whispers and four free hands for touching.
Standing Missionary
Turn the missionary
position 90 degrees so both people are standing and you'll find that this full body
contact sex position has added intensity. Muscles tighten to remain standing
and, even with a help behind her, both partners are more physically dependent
on each other.
Higher Love
The woman lies on her
back at the edge of a bed , and puts her legs on the standing man's shoulders.
Both partners share control, the man with the movements, and the woman using
her legs to push him back a bit and slow him down, or to let him lean all the
way into her.
