Legs on shoulders: seated face to face, leaning back in a V

Instead of straight arms, she lowers herself onto her forearms, more reclined, with her legs still on his shoulders.

Her torso drops lower, which relieves her wrists and slightly changes the tilt of her pelvis. Eye contact is a little harder and she can move her hips less, so he sets more of the rhythm.

1. Start in the basic seated V position.
2. She bends her elbows and lowers herself onto her forearms, keeping her legs on his shoulders.
3. He stays leaning back on his hands and brings his pelvis closer if needed.
4. He sets a slow rhythm with small hip movements.

She rests only one straight leg on his shoulder and bends the other, with her foot on the bed beside his hip.

With just one leg raised, the stretch on the back of her thighs is much smaller and her pelvis is more stable. Penetration is usually less deep. It is an easier way in if flexibility is limited.

1. Sit facing each other, both leaning back on your hands.
2. She raises one leg straight and rests it on his shoulder.
3. She bends the other leg and places the foot flat beside his hip.
4. Swap legs if the raised one tires.

She sits with her back against firm cushions or the headboard instead of holding herself up on her hands.

Her back is supported, so her wrists rest and her hands are free to hold his arms or touch her clitoris. She is still seated, at the same angle, with her legs on his shoulders. Only he keeps his weight on his hands.

1. Pile firm cushions against the headboard or a wall.
2. She sits leaning back against them and raises her straight legs onto his shoulders.
3. He sits facing her, leaning back on his hands, and brings his pelvis to hers.
4. She can use her free hands to hold on to him or to touch herself.
