Anatomy and biomechanics
Partial support position: the penetrator, in a seated position or on their knees, holds the legs of the receiver, who offloads the upper body onto their hands placed behind. The semi-suspended axis allows a pelvic sway directed by the holder, with a deep angle and shared effort between both.
Why this position works
The rocking motion is its greatest charm: gentle, enveloping, and with a deep angle controlled by the holder. The semi-suspension gives the receiver a very pleasurable sense of surrender, and the shared effort makes it sustainable. It is intense and intimate at the same time.
The Hammock: rocking in the air
A position as comfortable as its name promises. The receiver is reclined with legs supported by the partner, rocking in a gentle sway that combines depth, control, and a very special intimacy.
