The Whisper of Passion: oral sex from behind on a table

The Whisper of Passion is a way of giving oral sex from behind using a table and a chair. The receiving partner gets on all fours on the table, with the knees at the edge and the pelvis just past it; the giving partner sits on a chair behind, with the face at the height of the buttocks and the hands holding them. From there, the mouth reaches the vulva (cunnilingus) and, if both want it, the anus (anilingus). There is no penetration, and the giving partner sets the rhythm.

Anatomy and biomechanics

The receiving partner kneels on a sturdy table, on all fours, with the hands flat on the tabletop and the knees apart at the very edge, so the pelvis sticks out slightly beyond it. The knees stay bent and the lower legs hang over the edge, on either side of the giving partner's torso. The giving partner sits on a chair placed right behind the table, at a height that puts the face level with the buttocks, feet on the floor. Both hands hold the buttocks, which helps steady the receiving partner and opens access to the vulva and the anus. The giving partner sets the pace with the mouth and tongue; the receiving partner can arch the back or rock the hips to guide the contact. The load falls on the receiving partner's knees and wrists, on a hard surface.

Why this position works

Some people enjoy the sense of being offered and the freedom to just let go while the other person sets the pace. The giving partner sits comfortably, with the head at the right height and the hands free to hold or caress, which makes it easier to keep going for a while. From behind, the mouth can move between the vulva and the area around the anus, although what feels good varies from person to person. There is no eye contact: its appeal lies in the sensations and the play of roles.

Variations of this position

Variation 1: On the Edge of the Bed

The same position on the bed instead of a table: the receiving partner on all fours at the edge, the giving partner kneeling on the floor behind.

The furniture changes: the receiving partner kneels on all fours on a firm bed, knees at the edge, and the giving partner kneels on a cushion on the floor instead of sitting on a chair. The mattress is softer on the knees and wrists, and there is no risk of the table moving. Height depends on the bed: if it is low, the giving partner can sit on their heels.

  1. The receiving partner gets on all fours on a firm bed, knees right at the edge.
  2. The giving partner kneels on a cushion on the floor behind, face at the height of the buttocks.
  3. The giving partner holds the buttocks with both hands.
  4. The receiving partner guides the contact by arching the back or rocking the hips.

Variation 2: Resting on the Forearms

The receiving partner lowers the chest and rests on the forearms on the table, with the pelvis raised at the edge.

Instead of straight arms, the receiving partner rests on the forearms, with a cushion under them, and lowers the chest towards the table. The back arches, the pelvis tilts up and opens more towards the giving partner, and the wrists stop carrying weight. It is more restful for the receiving partner and makes it easier to hold the position longer.

  1. Start in the basic position on the table.
  2. Place a cushion in front of the receiving partner.
  3. The receiving partner bends the elbows and rests the forearms and chest on the cushion, keeping the knees at the edge.
  4. The giving partner adjusts the chair height if needed and continues.

Variation 3: With a Hand on the Clitoris

The same position, with the giving partner reaching the clitoris with one hand from below while using the mouth.

The posture does not change. The giving partner keeps one hand on the buttocks and slides the other under the pelvis to caress the clitoris, combining it with the mouth. The receiving partner loses no support, and from behind the clitoris is hard to reach with the mouth alone, so the hand completes the stimulation.

  1. Get into the basic position.
  2. The giving partner keeps one hand on the buttocks to steady the receiving partner.
  3. The other hand passes under the pelvis to the clitoris.
  4. Coordinate the rhythm of the hand and the mouth, following what the receiving partner asks for.

✓ Tips
  • Use a sturdy table that does not wobble or tip, and climb onto it carefully; if there is any instability, stop and switch to the bed.
  • Put a folded towel or a cushion under the receiving partner's knees and hands: the tabletop is hard.
  • Adjust the chair height so the giving partner does not have to bend the neck; take breaks if it gets tired.
  • If you include anilingus, wash beforehand and do not go from the anus to the vulva without washing; a dental dam reduces the risk of STIs.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need a table?

The table and chair are what define this version, but you can do the same on the edge of a firm bed, with the giving partner kneeling on a cushion on the floor.

Is it demanding?

Moderately. The receiving partner has to climb onto the table and hold the all-fours position, which loads the knees and wrists. The giving partner simply sits.

Can it include anilingus?

Yes, if both want it. Wash beforehand, use a dental dam to reduce the risk of STIs and never go from the anus to the vulva without washing.

Can the clitoris be stimulated too?

Yes. The giving partner can reach it with a hand from below, or the receiving partner can touch it while resting on one hand.
