Gentleman at the helm
The Gentleman at the helm position is particularly recommended for women who prefer to be passive and like being pinned down. In this position, the woman is well placed to enjoy the view of her handsome, forceful lover.

In the Gentlemen at the helm position, the woman lies on her side, one leg outstretched and the other bent. The man kneels, straddling the woman’s extended leg. He places her other leg against his chest and clasps it tightly; her foot extends upwards towards his shoulder. The woman’s thighs are wide open which results in a deep penetration.
This is a comfortable position so the couple can take all the time they need. There’s no need to rush and no need for any rapid thrusting; in fact that would be most unwelcome, like downing a glass of wine in one go, instead of sipping it slowly and savouring it.
Because of the way the partners are placed, this position produces quite different sensations for the vagina and the penis, particularly when compared to more aligned positions. We must learn to recognize these differences and appreciate all the possible variations of this wonderful and harmonious game.
In the Gentlemen at the helm, the lovers are unable to hold each other and bodily contact is relatively unimportant. But they can caress each other: with his free hand, the man can easily stroke and fondle the woman’s breasts, stomach, hips, thighs and clitoris.
The woman has both hands free and can caress her partner’s stomach, thighs, testicles and penis. The woman can also stimulate her clitoris, if this is a part of the couple’s normal sexual repertoire. The man enjoys the sight of his penis penetrating his lover and is further excited by her vulva, which shows clear signs of arousal; the lubrication of the mucous membranes and the swelling of her clitoris are obvious indications of both her excitement and her pleasure.
The couple can vary their caresses and the rhythm of their movements; and the woman can alternate legs, extending the bent leg and bending the straightened leg. By experimenting in this way, the couple can enjoy the many opportunities this position has to offer.
