The Dancing Goddess: oral sex crouching over the partner from the sofa

The Dancing Goddess is a face-sitting oral sex position that uses the sofa to lift the receiving partner. She crouches with the feet on the two ends of the seat and the legs wide open, and lowers the pelvis towards the face of the giving partner, who squats on the floor with the back to the sofa and the head tilted back. There is no penetration: the attention goes to the vulva and the clitoris, and the rhythm is shared. It needs open hips and a firm sofa.

Anatomy and biomechanics

The giving partner squats on the floor in front of the sofa, with the back to it, the feet flat, the knees apart and the torso upright, and tilts the head back. The receiving partner stands on the sofa seat facing the same way, with one foot near each end, and crouches down with the knees bent and the legs very wide apart, until the vulva is just above the giver's face. Her torso stays upright and her hands can rest on her own thighs. The giving partner holds her thighs or buttocks to steady her and to bring her closer. Both look forward, so there is no eye contact and body contact is minimal. The receiver controls how far she lowers herself and the giver works with the mouth and tongue, so the rhythm is shared. The load falls on the giver's neck and knees and on the receiver's hips and knees.

Why this position works

Some people enjoy the feeling of being lifted up and offered to the partner's mouth, with the legs wide open and full control over how close they come. The giving partner has the vulva right above the face and both hands free to hold and guide the hips. For some couples, the unusual height and the slightly theatrical stance add excitement. It is demanding on the hips and the neck, so it tends to work best as a short, playful moment. How much it pleases depends on each person.

Variations of this position

Variation 1: feet closer together on the seat

The receiver places the feet closer together on the seat, so the hips open less and the stance is easier to hold.

Instead of putting the feet at the two ends of the seat, the receiving partner places them about shoulder-width apart, nearer the middle. The hips open less and the knees point more forward, which reduces the strain on the groin and the inner thighs. The pelvis stays a little higher, so the giving partner may need to lift the head or sit up straighter.

  1. The giving partner squats on the floor with the back to the sofa.
  2. The receiver stands on the seat with the feet only shoulder-width apart, close to the middle.
  3. She crouches slowly, opening the knees as far as is comfortable.
  4. The giver holds her thighs and adjusts the height of the head until the mouth reaches the vulva.

Variation 2: the giving partner kneels on a cushion

Instead of squatting, the giving partner kneels on a cushion with the back to the sofa, which spares the knees and makes it easier to hold for longer.

Only the giver's position changes: the knees rest on a firm cushion on the floor and the buttocks sit back towards the heels, with the back close to the sofa. Squatting is no longer needed, so the knees and hips rest. The height of the head changes a little, so the receiver adjusts how low she crouches.

  1. Place a firm cushion on the floor in front of the sofa.
  2. The giving partner kneels on it with the back to the sofa and tilts the head back.
  3. The receiver stands on the seat and crouches until the vulva is above the giver's mouth.
  4. Adjust the height together: she crouches more or less, and the giver sits up or back.

Variation 3: leaning forward with the hands on the giver's shoulders

The receiver leans her torso slightly forward and rests her hands on the giver's shoulders, gaining stability and changing the angle of the pelvis.

Instead of keeping the torso upright with the hands on the thighs, the receiver leans forward a little and places her hands on the giving partner's shoulders. She gains a third point of support, which makes balance easier, and the pelvis tilts so the mouth reaches more of the front of the vulva and the clitoris. She should rest her hands lightly and not push down on the giver.

  1. Start in the basic position, with the receiver crouching on the seat.
  2. The receiver leans her torso slightly forward from the hips.
  3. She rests her hands lightly on the giver's shoulders, without pushing down.
  4. Adjust the tilt of the pelvis together until the angle feels good.

✓ Tips
  • Use a firm, stable sofa and keep both feet flat on the seat; stop if you feel unsteady.
  • The giving partner holds the receiver's thighs or buttocks to help her keep her balance.
  • Do not force the hip opening: if the wide stance is uncomfortable, bring the feet closer together.
  • The receiver controls how low she goes and should not put her weight on the giver's face; agree on a signal, such as a tap on the thigh, to stop.
  • The giver's neck is tilted back: take short breaks, or kneel on a cushion instead of squatting.
  • Use a dental dam if you want protection against STIs; if oral contact with the anus is added, never go back to the vulva without a new barrier or washing.

Frequently asked questions

Is there penetration in this position?

No. It is an oral sex position: the giving partner stimulates the vulva and clitoris with the mouth and tongue.

Do I need a lot of flexibility?

The receiver needs fairly open hips to crouch with the feet so far apart. If it is too much, bring the feet closer on the seat (variation 1).

Is it safe to crouch on the sofa?

It can be, if the sofa is firm and stable, both feet are well planted and the giving partner holds the receiver's thighs. Stop if you feel unstable.

How can the giver avoid neck strain?

Take short breaks, have the receiver lower herself a little more, or kneel on a cushion instead of squatting (variation 2).
