I.Description

Lotus – what makes this position work.

He sits cross-legged. She sits on his lap facing him and wraps her legs and arms around him, chest to chest. In tantra this seat is called yab-yum.

You rock more than you thrust. It is slow, and breathing and eye contact matter as much as the sensation. A firm cushion under him saves his legs if they start to go numb.

II.Step by step

Get into position.

Four easy steps—take your time between moves and notice what feels right.

  1. 01

    Sit facing each other on a firm bed or floor with backs supported if needed.

  2. 02

    She wraps her legs around his waist; he holds her hips or lower back for balance.

  3. 03

    Align pelvises before he enters; go slowly—this angle is snug.

  4. 04

    Rock together in small motions while you stay chest to chest.

III.Tips & ideas

For more closeness and pleasure.

Small ideas that make a big difference – for her, for him, and for both of you.

For her

  • Wrap your legs around him and rock or circle slowly—you steer depth and angle.
  • Press your chest to his and pull him closer with your arms.
  • Hold eye contact when you want emotional closeness, not just sensation.
  • Match slow breaths—it sounds simple, but it feels intimate fast.

For him

  • Sit tall but relaxed; a cushion under you helps if legs go numb.
  • Hold her spine, neck, or hips so she feels anchored.
  • Tiny pelvic lifts or shared swaying often beat hard thrusting here.
  • Kiss her face, throat, and chest—you're already right there.

For both of you

  • A firm pillow under him can tweak height and save knees.
  • Build heat slowly—rushing fights this position.
  • Pressure shifts, sighs, and smiles often say enough.
  • She can extend legs behind him, or you both lean back holding hands.
  • Silence, soft music, or low light—only if you both want it.
