Cracking the Code: Transforming the Kama Sutra into an Emotional Guidebook
The Kama Sutra, often seen through the lens of physical techniques, harbors hidden treasures that transcend the confines of mere positions. It's a narrative of discovery, akin to embarking on a new adventure where emotions take the lead, daring us to explore uncharted territories.
Some might perceive emotional
exploration as a risk, expecting uncertainties that might challenge our
understanding of love. There's a notion that certain things can't be done,
reasons unknown, yet nestled within these limitations lie opportunities to comprehend
our taboos or incapacitations.
It's within this realm that
the Kama Sutra whispers its lessons. If approached with love as the guiding
force, it elevates our capacity for connection, unraveling energies within our
muscles and bodies. This connection, when it happens, fosters an intimacy that
transcends the physical.
Through this emotional voyage,
partners uncover each other's intricacies and "triks" that fill the
spaces with love. It's about understanding that the Kama Sutra, beyond its
popular portrayal, holds the key to decoding emotional intimacy—a guidebook not
just for physical unions but a map leading to deeper emotional resonance
between partners.
You can exploring the sexual union section, that focus on sexual techniques, including different positions and practices aimed at enhancing pleasure and intimacy between partners. Thoses positions make the cracking so good and ezy.
Kama Sutra is big on giving pleasure, and what better way than with a li'l oral loving? "The entire Kama Sutra talks about pleasure and the build-up to pleasure," Anand says. Get your foreplay off on the right foot by pleasuring your partner and vice versa.
How to do it: Lie down, flat on your back. Then, have your partner climb on top, so they’re facing away from your upper body. Your genitals should be lined up with your partner's mouth, and their genitals should be lined up with yours. (You can also mix up who gets on top to try out even more angles.)
Make it hotter: You can also add cushions under your butt to help your partner reach different angles. Mixing up the angles "changes how you feel and can increase the pleasure," Anand advises.
2 Face Off
You’re in the driver’s seat here, which means you can control everything from the pace to the angle to the depth of this position. "Kama Sutra says that, when you’re on top, only move your hips and don’t move the upper part of your body," Anand explains. Moving more than just your hips could hurt your back. So, to keep the focus on pleasure, try to isolate your movements.
How to do it: Have your partner sit on a chair or the edge of a bed, as you face them and sit on their lap.
Make it hotter: Try using a hands-free clitoral vibrator like Dame's Eva for some added stimulation.
3 Champagne Room
Being seated is great because, again, you’re in control here. Kama Sutra was big on having women wear jewelry that could help guide them during sex, Anand says. "For seated positions, you wore a seven or nine-string necklace of pearls," she says. "You want the pearls to move from side to side very gently…the movement of the body will just flow."
How to do it: Your partner sits and you sit on top, facing away from them.
Make it hotter: Once you're in position, Anand recommends leaning back and lifting up slightly so you’re resting your weight on your partner’s knees.
4 Spork
The Spork position allows for plenty of eye contact while you bump and grind, and it also allows you to try a sexy Kama Sutra hack: Perfume different areas of your body. With Kama Sutra, "each part of the body had to be fragranced with a different perfume," Anand says. "You almost become a banquet of smells, textures, and tastes so that it encourages your partner to travel your body."
How to do it: Lie on your back and raise your right leg so your partner can position their body between your legs at a 90-degree angle and enter you. Your left leg can lie straight out on the bed, or you can also bend it to manipulate the depth of penetration.
Make it hotter: For a rear-entry option, lie on your stomach, bend one leg, and have your partner position themselves in between your legs.
5 Pretzel Dip
This fun, food-inspired position gives you the perks of doggy style while allowing you to gaze into each other’s eyes. "Make it a sensory experience and caress your partner’s backside, reach around and stimulate the nipples and breasts, and amplify the pleasure in this position through direct clitoral stimulation," says Shannon Chavez, PsyD, an AASECT-certified sex therapist.
How to do it: Lie on your right side. Your partner kneels, straddling your right leg and curling your left leg around their left side.
Make it hotter: You can crank things up even more by experimenting with different angles to find the one that’s just right for you, Chavez adds.
6 Doggy Style
Sure, ~technically~ you’re not face to face when you do it doggy style, but Laino has a hot workaround: Use a mirror. "Looking in a mirror...can aid in the presence of the sexual experience, as well as the eroticism and pleasure," she says. "There is also a very real trust emotion that comes from doing this as the person in the 'doggy' position is in a passive, vulnerable position." Whether you and your S.O. engage in a more aggressive or gentle tempo, both "fall in line with Kama Sutra as they are allowing for different types of pleasure-giving and receiving to and for each other," Laino says.
How to do it: Get on all fours. Then, have your partner kneel behind you, with their upper body straight up or slightly draped over you.
Make it hotter: This is another position that can allow for clitoral stimulation, too. If you're the receiving partner, have the person on top touch you or use a vibrator.
7 Cowgirl's Helper
The face-to-face element is great here, Laino says. She recommends talking and sharing fantasies—yup, even while you’re having sex—"for the ultimate intimacy experience."
How to do it: This is similar to a cowgirl sex position, but slightly different. You kneel on top, pushing off your partner's chest and sliding up and down their thighs. Your partner helps by supporting some of your weight and grabbing your hips or thighs while they rise to meet each thrust.
Make it hotter: You can also rub your partner’s nipples, lock eyes, and kiss to ramp up the intimacy, Chavez says.
8 Lotus
Also called Padmasana in the original Kama Sutra text, this passionate position is one that, according to Engle, is best done by grinding against your partner for clitoral stimulation, rather than bouncing up and down.
How to do it: Your partner sits cross-legged (yoga-/pretzel-style); you sit in their lap facing them. Wrap your legs around them and hug each other for support.
Make it hotter: If you're on top of your partner you can lower yourself onto their penis or a dildo, but if penetration's not your thing, you can also rub up against them for outercourse.
9 G-Whiz
This is a good choice if you and your partner aren't especially flexible, since the move only requires that you can bend at the waist.
How to do it: With your partner sitting on their knees, lie back with your legs resting on each of your partner's shoulders.
Make it hotter: Height difference? No problem. "You can put a couple of pillows underneath the other person, or you can utilize a sex pillow," says Engle.
10Magic Mountain
While this scissoring-style move lends itself to penetration, it's also a great one for sex between two people with vulvas, where partners can manually stimulate each other with either a toy or their hands, says Engle.
How to do it: Your partner sits, legs bent, leaning back on their hands and forearms. You do the same, and then inch toward them until you make contact.
Make it hotter: If you can't get the angle quite right (or just want some added stimulation), why not toss in a toy? The Le Wand Petite is a perfect addition to this position: it's small enough to fit between your bodies, but the flexible head is big enough to stimulate both parties at once. Win, win.
11 The Chairman
This is another sex position where you might think bouncing is the right move, but grinding is definitely the way to go, says Engle. The Chairman is a great starter move for deep penetration, having your partner kiss your shoulders and your neck, and for nipple play, too.
How to do it: Your partner sits on the edge of the bed and you sit on them, facing away while leaning back on them.
Make it hotter: Wanna take things up a notch? Bring in a sex toy and have your partner reach around you for manual stimulation.
12 Missionary
"Missionary is one of the most underrated positions," says Engle. Sure, it's basic but that doesn't mean it won't make you feel closer to your partner—after all, that's why it's in Kama Sutra. "There are so many different variations," and it's very intimate thanks to all that close eye contact and all those ~feels~, she adds.
How to do it: Lie on your back while your partner lies facedown on top of you.
Make it hotter: Try stacking pillows underneath your pelvis so that your partner on top can thrust in an upward diagonal direction, grinding against your clitoris. The coital alignment technique is also a favorite for a reason.
13The Pinball Wizard
This is a primo Kama Sutra move for deep penetration, says Engle. However, if you can't hold a bridge position, or your partner can't support your lower body with their arms, maybe move on to something else (because over-exertion is not sexy).
How to do it: You get into a partial bridge position (like a pinball machine), with your weight resting on your shoulders. Your partner enters you from a kneeling position.
Make it hotter: If you're the receiver, throw a leg over your partner's shoulder for even deeper penetration.
14 Reverse Cowgirl
This one's a little more of a challenge, says Engle, since the natural curve of most penises or strap-ons don't really accommodate this position, but it's doable. (No wonder women tend to hate on this sex position.) Once you get your groove, it's a good time.
How to do it: Your partner lies on their back; you straddle them, facing their feet.
Make it hotter: To up your range of movement when you're on top, Engle suggests putting a pillow under each knee.
15Stand and Deliver
If you're feeling especially adventurous, try the Stand and Deliver. It's a Kama Sutra–approved move that's good for shallow penetration as is. If you're the person on the receiving end and you're worried about falling when things get sweaty, Engle says to lean on a table or a chair for support.
How to do it: With both of you standing, you bend over at the waist; they enter you from behind.
Make it hotter: If you're looking for deeper penetration, you can take it down to your knees instead—an adaptation which, Engle says, is a great way to compensate for a height difference.
16Ballet Dancer
If balance starts to get tough while you and your partner are going at it in this sex position, don't get frustrated, says Engle. Instead, pivot. "Drop to your knees, and you can give that person a blow job or cunnilingus, or vice versa." The important thing is that you gave it a go.
How to do it: Standing on one foot, face your partner and wrap your other leg around their waist while they help support you.
Make it hotter: Try raising your leg even higher for deeper penetration or clitoral contact.
17The Good Ex
This intimate position is easier than it looks, says Engle. "It's a great opportunity to bring in something like a wand vibrator" for you to use on yourself at the same time.
How to do it: Sit on the bed facing each other with legs forward. Lift your partner's right leg over your left and lift your right leg over their left. Come together so they can enter you. Now, both of you lie back, your legs forming an X. Slow, leisurely gyrations replace thrusting. Hello, intimacy!
Make it hotter: Whoever is in the seated position, rocking back and forth, might also consider using a butt plug for added stimulation.
