Fifty Shades of Ecstasy (14 page)

Arch your back to try out different angles. You can try this when you’re walking down into position, leaning back on the bed or down to a chair.

ONTORTIONIST

You won’t have to twist into a pretzel for this position, but it might make you twist and shout! It’s tricky to do, but a ton of fun. Strong back, shoulders, and core muscles are needed for this move, so be careful if you’ve been avoiding the gym.

She starts in a push-up position with her thighs on the mattress and her upper body supported by her hands on the floor. He positions himself between her legs, rolls her onto her side, pulling a leg up to his shoulder and supporting her body weight with both hands around her hips.

This sideways position gives you a nice tight fit while you’re fighting to stay upright, so it’s worth the cost of admission! Since he’s got two feet on the ground, he’s mostly in control for this move. If you like strong strokes, or a rhythm that gets a little wild, this position is a good option for you. But if you like it a little rough, you may want to tone it down here: if his thrusts get too enthusiastic, he might send her flying!

OBSLED

Also known as “sledding on bob,” this position can be fun in any season! This number requires strong core muscles, good balance, and a tight grip (of each other’s hands)!

He sits on the edge of a chair. She climbs on top, straddling him and sliding onto his penis. Then, once they’re ready, she starts to lean backward and move her legs from his sides to rest on his shoulders. She can hold his hands as she lowers herself backward, which will also keep her from sliding right off his lap.

Once they’re in position, she can use her legs to brace herself against him as they both use their handhold for some gravity-fighting friction.

Pirates are the sexy bad boys of the sea, so grab your naughty seafarer and make him walk your plank!

She lies back on the bed with her legs spread. He kneels between her knees and lifts her hips to meet his. She supports her upper body on her hands, in a crabwalk position. As they go, she can rock her legs from straight to bent, and back again to help him thrust their way to paradise. The rocking motion (how apropos for these seafarers!) will help ease the tension in her arms, so that she doesn’t get too tired from holding her body weight up. He should be too distracted by the fact that his penis is inside her vagina to notice that his arms hurt from holding her.

This position gives both partners a great view of the coastline! With her torso stretched out, he can watch her boobs get all nice and jiggly as they plunge away, she can admire his upper half, and they both can watch the whole “now you see it, now you don’t!” magic show that comes along with thrusting.

Hold on tight for this swinging position!

Standing sex can be a challenge, and even if you’ve got a man of steel on hand for the heavy lifting, the logistics can be limiting. This position gives you the best of standing sex—with a little extra leverage.

He stands with one leg planted on the ground, and the other propped on a sturdy stool or ottoman. She climbs on up, holding his shoulders and wraps her legs around his torso. Once they’re moving, she can lean back, with his hand supporting her lower back.

He can use his supporting hands to rub and fondle her ass as she arches her back and leans away: her movements push her hips closer to his, and give them a tighter fit. With this move you’ll never want to let go!

EACHCOMBER

Every beach has one—the guy with the headphones and the metal detector, wandering in search of buried treasure. (Seriously, WHERE did he buy that?) For those of us who are less proactive about finding valuables in large piles of sand, and more interested in being naked—this position at least lets you perform your own hunt for treasure.

She places her hands flat on the floor, as if she’s doing a push-up. He stands behind her and lifts her legs, resting her hips on his thighs. Placing a leg on either side of his torso, she curls them up and back so that her heels are comfortably along his shoulder blades. (Her calves and feet should be parallel to his back.) To make this easier on both involved, he should be leaning forward as he holds on to her hips. It’s important for her to keep loose and limber during this position. If she’s too rigid with her arms locked, he may hurt her back when he thrusts.
