Amazon on the chair: face-to-face position on a chair

The receiving partner straddles the seated partner with both feet on the floor instead of kneeling on the seat.

With the feet on the floor on either side of the chair, the receiving partner moves by bending and straightening the legs, as in a shallow squat. The knees no longer carry the weight, but the thighs work harder, and it is easier to control how far down to go. It works best with a fairly low chair.

1. The penetrating partner sits upright against the backrest, feet flat and knees apart.
2. The receiving partner stands astride their thighs, facing them, with feet on the floor on each side of the chair.
3. They lower themselves slowly, holding their partner's shoulders for balance.
4. Move by bending and straightening the legs, and sit down to rest whenever you need to.

The receiving partner grips the top of the backrest with both hands for extra leverage.

Holding the backrest gives the partner on top a firm handle, so they can move with more control and take some weight off the knees. Their chest comes even closer to the seated partner's face, which leaves room for kisses on the neck and chest.

1. Start in the base position, kneeling astride on the seat.
2. The receiving partner reaches past their partner's shoulders and holds the top of the backrest with both hands.
3. They use their arms to lift slightly and lower themselves smoothly.
4. The seated partner keeps their hands on their partner's waist or hips to accompany the movement.

The receiving partner leans their torso back while the seated partner supports their back.

Leaning back changes the angle of entry and opens space between the bodies, so either partner can use a hand on the clitoris; some people find this angle presses more towards the front wall of the vagina. There is less chest contact, and the seated partner needs to hold firmly.

1. From the base position, the seated partner places both hands on their partner's lower back.
2. The receiving partner leans back slowly, keeping the knees on the seat, and can hold their partner's forearms.
3. Find an angle that feels stable and move with small rocking motions.
4. Return to upright if either of you feels unsteady.

The same position in a wide, padded armchair instead of a hard chair.

The padded seat cushions the knees of the partner on top, and the armrests can serve as extra handholds. The seated partner sinks a little lower, so the receiving partner may need to kneel more upright to keep the hips aligned.

1. Choose a stable armchair with a firm seat wide enough to kneel on.
2. The penetrating partner sits back against the backrest with feet on the floor.
3. The receiving partner kneels astride them, using the armrests or their partner's shoulders for support.
4. Adjust how upright you kneel until penetration feels comfortable.

Instead of moving up and down, the receiving partner stays seated deep and rocks the hips forward and back.

The bodies stay pressed together and the movement is short, so the pubic area rubs against the partner's body. For some people this may increase clitoral stimulation; it also tires the knees less and keeps the penis from slipping out.

1. Settle into the base position with the hips lowered fully onto the partner.
2. The receiving partner wraps their arms around their partner's neck or shoulders.
3. Rock the hips slowly forward and back, keeping your chests together.
4. The seated partner can guide the rhythm with hands on the hips; kiss and adjust the pace together.
