Illustration of The 69
Anatomy and biomechanics

Inverted head-genital arrangement of both partners. In the top version, one person lies down and the other is on top inverted; in the side version, both are on their sides, which avoids putting weight on the neck or chest. The stimulation is oral and external, without penetration.

Why this position works

Simultaneity is its main attraction: giving pleasure while receiving creates a very intense feedback loop. There's no penetration, making it suitable for many moments, and it allows all anatomy combinations. The side version makes it comfortable to prolong.

Physical effort: Low Inverted

The 69: oral pleasure at the same time

Giving and receiving at the same time. The 69 is the star position for mutual oral sex: inverted bodies, each mouth on the other person's genitals, in a game of simultaneity that's addictive.

Also known as: sixty-nine · 69 · mutual oral · soixante-neuf

Variations of this position

1. Side by side: the comfortable version

Both people on their sides, bodies inverted, each mouth on the other's genitals.

Both lying on your sides, inverted. Distribute the weight and avoid neck tension, ideal for lasting longer.

  1. Lie on your sides, in opposite directions.
  2. Adjust the height to align mouth and genitals.
  3. Use one arm as a pillow and the other to stimulate.

Superior: one person on top

One person lying on their back, the other on top inverted, each mouth on the other's genitals.

One person lying on their back and the other on top, inverted. Provides easy access but carries some weight; better for short periods.

  1. One person lies on their back.
  2. The other person gets on top, inverted, supporting their knees.
  3. Control the weight to avoid tiring the person underneath.

✓ Tips

  • The side version is more comfortable and allows you to prolong without tiring your neck.
  • Communicate with gestures: it's easy to lose rhythm when focusing on giving and receiving.
  • Use your hands to support your mouth so you don't get tired.
  • If you get distracted doing both things at once, take turns: first one, then the other.
