The Chair of Pleasure: face to face with legs raised to the shoulder

A firm pillow under the receiver’s buttocks raises the pelvis and makes the position easier to hold.

With the pelvis raised on a pillow, the receiver’s lower back is supported and the legs need less effort to stay up. The penetrating partner can kneel more upright and lean less weight onto the receiver. The angle of penetration changes slightly and depth stays high.

1. Place a firm pillow or folded cushion under the receiver’s buttocks.
2. The receiver lies back on it and raises both legs together towards the ceiling.
3. The penetrating partner kneels close, rests the legs against one shoulder and leans forward.
4. Move slowly at first and adjust the pillow height if the lower back feels strained.

Instead of keeping the legs straight, the receiving partner bends the knees and brings them towards the chest.

Bending the knees removes the stretch on the hamstrings, so it suits people with less flexibility. The receiver’s feet rest against the partner’s chest or shoulder, and the receiver can push gently with them to regulate depth. The fold of the hips stays, and so does some pressure on the abdomen.

1. The receiver lies on their back and brings both knees towards the chest, legs together.
2. The penetrating partner kneels close and lets the receiver’s feet rest on their chest or shoulder.
3. Lean forward only as much as is comfortable for the receiver.
4. The receiver can press lightly with the feet to slow down or limit depth.

The receiving partner separates the raised legs and rests one on each of the partner’s shoulders.

With one leg on each shoulder, the penetrating partner can lean in between them and bring the face closer to the receiver’s for kissing. The fit feels less tight than with the legs together, and the hips open a little, which some people find easier on the hamstrings.

1. Start in the basic position, with the receiver’s legs raised.
2. The receiver separates the legs and places one ankle on each of the partner’s shoulders.
3. The penetrating partner leans forward between the legs, keeping part of the weight on the hands.
4. Move slowly and lower the legs if the hips get tired.

The penetrating partner straightens up on the knees and holds the receiver’s raised legs against the chest instead of leaning over them.

Kneeling upright takes the partner’s weight off the receiver’s folded body and abdomen. The receiver’s legs rest vertically against the partner’s chest and shoulder, held by the arms. You lose the hug and the kisses but keep eye contact, and the partner on top can control the angle by pulling the legs slightly towards them.

1. The receiver lies on their back, close to the partner, with both legs raised together.
2. The penetrating partner kneels upright and hugs the receiver’s legs against the chest.
3. Hold the legs with your arms and move with the hips, without leaning forward.
4. Keep looking at each other and adjust depth to what the receiver asks for.

The receiving partner raises only one leg against the partner’s shoulder and leaves the other stretched out on the bed.

With one leg down, the hips are much less folded and there is almost no pressure on the abdomen, so it is gentler on the hamstrings and lower back. Penetration is somewhat less deep. The penetrating partner kneels astride the leg on the bed and can lean in to kiss.

1. The receiver lies on their back and stretches one leg out on the bed.
2. The penetrating partner kneels astride that leg, close to the receiver’s hips.
3. The receiver raises the other leg and rests it against the partner’s shoulder.
4. Lean forward to kiss, and switch legs if one gets tired.
