Illustration of The Seesaw
Anatomy and biomechanics

In this position, the bodies are arranged from behind, with the penetrating person on top and inverted. The receptive person lies on their back with their legs resting on the penetrating person's shoulders or on an elevated support, such as pillows or the edge of the bed.

Why this position works

This position allows for precise control over the rhythm and depth of penetration, facilitating the stimulation of specific points such as the A-spot and the G-spot. Additionally, the inverted position can increase the intensity of the experience for both parties.

Physical effort: Medium Posterior

The Seesaw: Supported Sexual Position

The Seesaw is a sexual position that allows for medium penetration and focused stimulation on key points such as the A-spot and the G-spot. This position is ideal for those seeking an intimate experience with precise control over rhythm and depth.

Also known as: Fulcrum / The Balance / The Support Point

Variations of this position

Elevated Seesaw Variation

In this variation, the receiving person raises their legs higher, allowing for deeper penetration and more intense stimulation of the G-spot.

  1. The receiving person lies on their back and raises their legs, resting them on the penetrating person's shoulders or on an elevated support.
  2. The penetrating person gets into an inverted position, with their hands resting on the floor or a stable surface.
  3. Start with slow, deep movements, adjusting the pace according to both parties' preferences.

Side Support Variant of the Rocking

In this variant, the receiving person lies on their side, allowing penetration from a different angle and varied stimulation.

  1. The receiving person lies on their side, with legs slightly bent and resting on a pillow or cushion.
  2. The penetrating person positions themselves behind, with one leg between the receiving person's legs and the other foot on the floor for balance.
  3. Begin with gentle, controlled movements, adjusting the depth and pace according to both partners' needs.

Seesaw Rotation Variant

In this variant, the penetrating person makes rotational movements, providing wider and more varied stimulation.

  1. The receptive person lies on their back, with their legs resting on the penetrating person's shoulders or on an elevated support.
  2. The penetrating person gets into an inverted position, with their hands resting on the floor or a stable surface.
  3. The penetrating person performs smooth, controlled rotational movements, adjusting the speed and intensity according to both parties' preferences.

✓ Tips

  • Ensure that the receptive person has adequate support for their legs and back to avoid discomfort.
  • Use pillows or cushions to adjust the height and maintain a comfortable position.
  • Communicate constantly to adjust the rhythm and depth according to the needs of both parties.

G-spot: what the evidence says

“G-spot” is a widely used term for a sensitive area of the anterior vaginal wall. Scientific literature has not established a discrete anatomical structure with an agreed location, size and nature; sensitivity and response can vary between individuals.

A-spot / AFE zone: limited evidence

The “A-spot” or AFE zone has been proposed to describe a deeper area of the anterior vaginal wall. Available evidence is limited and does not support presenting it as a confirmed anatomical structure.
