Anatomy and biomechanics
In this position, the receiving partner sits on the penetrating partner, who is supported by a stable surface. Penetration is generally moderate, allowing for adjustments in depth and angle of penetration.
Why this position works
This position is appealing due to its intimacy and control. It facilitates a close visual and physical connection, making communication and mutual adjustment easier to maximize pleasure.
Captivity: sexual position intimate and controlled
The Captivity position is a sexual position that allows for an intimate and controlled connection between partners. The two bodies are positioned at right angles while sitting, which facilitates the stimulation of key points such as the G-spot and the A-spot.
Also known as: Captivity/Imprisonment/Sitting at right angles
Variations of this position
Deep Captivity: Deeper Penetration and Stimulation
In this variant, the receiving person leans slightly forward to allow deeper penetration and more intense G-spot stimulation.
- The penetrating person sits on a stable surface with legs slightly apart.
- The receiving person sits astride the penetrating person, leaning slightly forward to increase penetration depth.
- Both adjust the rhythm and intensity of movement to maximize pleasure and G-spot stimulation.
Lateral Captivity: Angle Variation and Stimulation
In this variation, both bodies slightly turn to one side, allowing different stimulation and a change in the angle of penetration.
- The penetrating person sits on a stable surface with legs slightly apart.
- The receiving person sits astride the penetrating person, both bodies slightly turning to one side.
- Both adjust the angle of penetration and the rhythm of movement to explore different areas of stimulation.
Captivity with Support: Comfort and Control
In this variant, the receiving person leans on the penetrating person's shoulders, allowing for greater control and comfort during penetration.
- The penetrating person sits on a stable surface with legs slightly apart.
- The receiving person sits astride the penetrating person, placing their hands on the penetrating person's shoulders.
- Both adjust the rhythm and depth of penetration, using the shoulder support for greater control and comfort.
✓ Tips
- Ensure that the supporting surface is stable and comfortable to avoid injuries.
- Use cushions or pillows to adjust height and improve the angle of penetration.
- Maintain open communication with your partner to adjust depth and rhythm according to the pleasure of both.

Safety and evidence
Scientific context for common terms used on this page. Keeping these terms makes the content easier to understand; the sources clarify what is established and what remains uncertain.
G-spot: what the evidence says
“G-spot” is a widely used term for a sensitive area of the anterior vaginal wall. Scientific literature has not established a discrete anatomical structure with an agreed location, size and nature; sensitivity and response can vary between individuals.
A-spot / AFE zone: limited evidence
The “A-spot” or AFE zone has been proposed to describe a deeper area of the anterior vaginal wall. Available evidence is limited and does not support presenting it as a confirmed anatomical structure.
