Even if we wouldn't describe ourselves as lacking in confidence in the bedroom,it's rare that every single time we do the deed our inner romantic heroine unabashedly bursts forth. The quality of sex is dependent on many variables. Sometimes we have power over those external factors, like making sure we don't over-indulge at dinner, but other times what can make or break the evening's sex plans are outside of our control.

Nevertheless, there are certainly things that we can be doing to improve our chances of a steamy night where you can confidently unleash your inner sex goddess. And, making sure you've got the right moves to hand is one of them.
So, be prepared, and add some drama to your next date night with this romance-novel-inspired sex position:
The Cross:
The Cross is the variation on missionary you didn't know you needed (but now you do, you won't want to go back!) More intense, and definitely created for romance story enthusiasts, The Cross has your lover scoop you up into their arms (while lying in bed), allowing you to channel your inner hero or heroine from the front of an erotica novel.
So how do you get into this crazy cradle of a position and what makes it confidence-boosting?
How to do it:
The penetrated partner lies back and curves their knees up and over their partner's midsection. The penetrating partner can then enter from behind while their arms hold their partner's waist, support their head, or cradle them with one arm under their back.
Able to go in either direction, use slow strokes for a more tender moment, or have the penetrating partner direct you up and down by your waist for more dramatic thrusts!
With the close contact, deep penetration, and intimate eye contact, as well as being the perfect position to inspire some role-play if that's your thing,we're sure you'll be oozing confidence in this position!
