The praying mantis sex position is highly regarded by many people as it can help your partner reach yourG spoteasier, stimulate clitoral orgasms whilst also giving you free rein to touch and caress each other’s upper intimate areas.

How good is that! But if you’re worried about getting yourself all tangled up, don’t worry, we have a step-by-step guide on how to make the most of your time between the sheets with this praying mantis position!

Don’t worry, if you follow our guide, you’ll see just how simple it is. You can also check the video above if you'd like some visual cues!

How it works

On a bed or any other flat surface (we advise a comfortable place since sex can become a little uncomfortable if you’re going for a long time), lie on your back or on your side and lift your upper leg to rest on your partner’s shoulder (see video above for a photo).

Your other leg will remain stretched out. As a little bonus and to make it feel even better, you could always put a cushion under your lower back as well.

Your partner should then thrust in a small, circular motion to maximize yourpleasure.

So what do you think? Fancy giving this new position a try? You’ll see, soon you won’t be able to live without it!
