The bridge<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Does it feel like you and your partner live in different worlds? Bridge the gap with \u2018the bridge\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>This not-so-strange sex position is all about making an intimate and deep connection via penetration. One partner lays on their back, and the penetrating partner kneels between their legs. The penetrating partner lifts the hips of the laying partner and starts thrusting. Ideal for any couple wanting a position with eye contact.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pros:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deep penetration<\/li>\n<li>Eye contact<\/li>\n<li>Allows for fast and slow-paced thrusts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Cons:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Required strong core and arms<\/li>\n<li>Since it\u2019s more advanced, some might not be able to go for too long<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"bentknee\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Bent knee<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another popular intimate, eye contact position is the \u2018bent knee\u2019 &#8211; perfect for romancers and lovers.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018bent knee\u2019 involves the penetrating partner kneeling with one leg outstretched to the side. The other partner faces them and drapes their knee over the outstretched leg &#8211; providing an opening for penetration. The two can then hold each other and rock or thrust gently.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pros:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deep penetration<\/li>\n<li>Intimate eye contact and kissing<\/li>\n<li>Brings you closer together<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Cons:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kneeling might be uncomfortable for some time<\/li>\n<li>Parties might need flexible hips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"octopus\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.

If you enjoyed it, the \u2018octopus\u2019 is here to take your pleasure up a notch.<\/p>\n<p>Like the \u2018lotus\u2019 position, the \u2018octopus\u2019 involves both parties sitting while facing each other. However, the submissive partner doesn\u2019t drape their legs over the penetrating partner\u2019s legs. Here, they drape their legs over the penetrating partner\u2019s shoulders.

Similar to \u2018Irish garden\u2019, this position can start with missionary, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/exploring-submissive-sex\/\">submissive partner<\/a> turns on their side. From here, the penetrating partner lifts a leg out of the way and continues thrusting.

Use standard doggy style but press both parties\u2019 legs together closer. This creates closer contact and a more primal session. Just have some lube on hand to make it feel amazing.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pros:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A new sensation<\/li>\n<li>Close to your partner<\/li>\n<li>Access to clitoral stimulation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Cons:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It might take some time to figure out<\/li>\n<li>Doesn\u2019t allow for long strokes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3901 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/strange-sex-positions-to-try-2.png\" alt=\"couple having sex in the spooning sex position\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/strange-sex-positions-to-try-2.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/strange-sex-positions-to-try-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/strange-sex-positions-to-try-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/strange-sex-positions-to-try-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/strange-sex-positions-to-try-2-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8212;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"downstroke\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9.

To achieve this &#8220;strange&#8221; sex position, the penetrating partner stands while holding their partner\u2019s legs up and open. The submissive partner must balance themselves on the floor with their hands.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pros:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kinkier position<\/li>\n<li>G-spot stimulation<\/li>\n<li>Head rush from the position<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Cons:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More difficult<\/li>\n<li>Strength needed<\/li>\n<li>Must be careful not to drop your partner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"xmarksthespot\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10.

This position requires the female partner to lie down, and the penetrating partner lays above at a 90-degree angle &#8211; creating an X shape. From here, penetration can begin, and you\u2019ll hit all the places missionary penetration doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pros:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New sensations<\/li>\n<li>G-spot stimulation<\/li>\n<li>Both parties are lying down<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Cons:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Penetration can be more difficult due to the angle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"whichstrangesexpositionsmaybebestforyou?\"><strong>Which &#8220;strange&#8221; sex position may be best for you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So, which options sound best to you?

Always warm up before you work out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that you and your partner should discuss each position before going at it. Of course, enthusiastic consent is a must. But planning out the logistics of each position is important too. Some of these positions aren\u2019t as straightforward as missionary, so prepare before you penetrate.<\/p>\n<p>Lube is also recommended, and more lubricant is always better than none. Have your bottle on hand to loosen things up and boost the sensations for both parties. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/national-sex-toy-day\/\">Sex toys <\/a>can also be added to spice up the sensations.
