Try the Christmas Stocking Sex Position to Get Close With Your Partner This Festive Season
- Posted on
This winter, the weather has been bitterly cold. Rather than warming up with a hot drink or an extra jumper, why not raise temperatures in the bedroom with a new position instead?
We can all get stuck in ruts when it comes to sex, favouring tried-and-tested moves over branching out. And while there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the classics, it’s necessary to switch up your routine to avoid monotony.
As it’s the festive season, we’ve come up with a sex position that’s perfect for getting out of your comfort zone while (crucially) staying comfortable; the Christmas Stocking.
This position takes the shape of a traditional stocking, with both partner’s bodies intertwined to increase the feeling of closeness.
Similar to the ‘perch’ position in the Kama Sutra, it works best with one person penetrating and one person receiving. If neither of you has a penis, a strap-on is best.
To keep things cosy and stop you worrying about your heating bill, wrap a blanket around yourselves and let your other senses run wild.
Like in the reverse cowgirl position, the penetrating partner’s hands are free to wander, so they can stimulate the other’s erogenous zones and hold them close as they thrust.
The idea is to become almost as one within the L-shape of a Christmas stocking, which allows you to guide the pressure and angle of your movements for bespoke pleasure.
It can also be adapted to suit your needs if you’re finding the seated position challenging.
Grab a few pillows (or a sex wedge if you’re fancy) and have the receiving partner lay their torso on top with their legs bent.
The penetrating partner then mirrors that horizontal Christmas Stocking shape and uses their knees to control thrusting, taking the pressure off one person to do so.
We can’t imagine you feel particularly sexy when thinking about what amounts to a large sock, but this position is intimate and not too daunting.
