Illustration of In midair (Suspension)
Anatomy and biomechanics

Full or partial suspension: the weight of the receiving partner rests on the arms, back, and core of the lifting partner, with the wall providing support to offload some of the weight. It's one of the most physically demanding positions; leaning against the wall makes it more sustainable than free suspension.

Why this position works

It's pure passion: intense, athletic, and with a level of passion that's hard to match. The suspended embrace, body against body, creates a sense of total surrender. Reserved for moments of energy and good shape, with the wall as an ally to last more than a few seconds.

Physical effort: Acrobatic Standing

In midair: holding each other up

The movie position. The penetrating partner lifts the other into the air, who hooks on with arms and legs, in a suspended embrace that relies on strength and trust. Spectacular and for moments of passion.

Variations of this position

1. Against the wall: the viable version

The penetrator holds the partner against the wall, who leans the back; legs around the waist.

The back of the receiver leans against the wall, which supports much of the weight. The realistic way to keep it.

  1. The receiver jumps and wraps the legs around the waist.
  2. Lean your back against the wall.
  3. The holder grips the thighs; controlled rhythm.

2. Free hanging: only for the brave

The penetrator holds the partner in the air without support, legs and arms hooked.

No wall support, the penetrator bears all the weight. Maximum demand, seconds counted.

  1. Only if there is extra strength.
  2. The receiver grabs with arms and legs.
  3. Seconds counted and coordinated descent.
