Anatomy and biomechanics

Self-stimulation in a seated position with dorsal support: leaning on the back provides a stable and semi-upright position that facilitates visual and manual access to genital organs, as well as the use of external stimulation. Reduces torso tension and gives control over the angle. Suitable for conscious self-awareness and sustainable ergonomics.

Why this position works

Its advantage is its perspective: seated and supported, you can see, control every nuance of the angle, and reach everything comfortably. It facilitates the use of external stimulation and conscious self-awareness, without the strain of supporting the torso. Perfect for a relaxed exploration and learning.
