Anatomy and biomechanics

Self-stimulation in dorsal decubitus: lying down eliminates postural tension and frees both hands for stimulating external and internal genital organs. A lumbar support or cushion under the knees improves comfort. This is the ergonomic foundation of self-knowledge, adaptable to any body, age, or condition.

Why this position works

It's the space of total freedom: without gazes, without foreign rhythms, only one's own body and the time needed. Lying down, all tension is eliminated and hands are free to explore. It's the best school of pleasure: what you discover here is what you can then ask for and share.
