Hummingbird: face to face on an exercise ball

The receiving partner lowers the raised leg and wraps both legs around the penetrating partner's waist.

Without the leg on the shoulder, the hips need much less flexibility and her legs help hold the couple together, so the position is more stable. Penetration becomes a little less deep and the bodies come closer.

1. Start in the Hummingbird, with him holding her firmly.
2. She slowly lowers the leg from his shoulder.
3. She wraps both legs around his waist and crosses her ankles behind him if comfortable.
4. Continue with slow movements, keeping the ball steady.

The exercise ball is placed against the front of a sofa or the side of the bed, so it cannot roll backwards.

The furniture blocks the ball, which removes most of the instability. The posture is the same, but he can use his arms less for balance and more for caressing, and the pace can be a little firmer.

1. Push the ball against the front of a sofa or the side of the bed.
2. She reclines over it with her back arched, as in the basic position.
3. He kneels in front and checks that the ball does not move.
4. Raise one leg to his shoulder and start slowly.

The receiving partner reaches back or to the side and rests one hand on the floor beside the ball for extra support.

Her hand on the floor gives a third point of support and lets her control how much the ball rolls. He can then move his hands from her back to her hips to guide the rhythm.

1. Start in the Hummingbird.
2. She lets one arm drop and places the palm flat on the floor beside the ball.
3. He moves his hands to her hips once she feels steady.
4. Keep movements slow; she pushes on the floor if the ball starts to roll.
