The Drunken boat

Feeling out of control is an essential part of the never-ending quest for pleasure. You must learn to voluptuously surrender yourself to your partner and let yourself go: and the Drunken boat position definitely fits the bill.

In the Drunken boat position, the woman lets her partner man the tiller.  The anchor is lifted and the captain steers his ship. The sensation of being out of control, of slightly capsizing and drifting on the waves, are the unexpected pleasures of this position.  The Kama Sutra never fails to surprise! 

The woman lies down on the edge of the bed, her legs loosely in the air. Lying on her back, she thus surrenders herself to her lover’s desires. The man kneels at the edge of the bed; he lifts and separates her legs, holding her by the ankles.  He’s in total control. He penetrates his lover, dictating the rhythm of the thrusting movements.

And now we come to the best part of this sex game. Standing at the helm, the captain may decide to tilt his partner from one side to the other. She will enjoy the synchronized movements of the rocking and the vaginal sensations they produce.  She feels helpless like a ship at sea, at the mercy of the waves.  Swept along by a wave of giddiness, she experiences a profound sense of relaxation and a feeling of deep penetration.

The man has an unobstructed view of his partner and enjoys the feeling of being in charge. He can speed up or slow down the thrusting movements and can alter the position of the woman’s pelvis or the angle of her thighs. If necessary, he can place a cushion under her buttocks to make penetration easier. 

The ship’s captain braves storms, tempests and lashing waves. He holds course with his Drunken boat until the very end, before achieving his own ultimate pleasure.  The sea becomes calm, still and oily. The delicate vessel may then return to port before setting off again on another eventful voyage.
