The Lullaby

Long gone are the days when your mother used to sing and rock you to sleep, while you would peacefully doze off to the sweet sound of her voice. In the lullaby position, you and your partner will feel some of those long-forgotten sensations in an embrace both tender and exhilarating.

Serenity and gentleness are essential for this position. The secret of pleasure lies in the dizzying and uncontrolled swinging motion of both lovers, whose physical efforts are rewarded by intense pleasure and better knowledge of each other’s desires. 

The man sits on the bed with one leg straight in front of him and the other folded underneath his buttocks. He needs to be able to keep his balance, or this position might become uncomfortable. In order to achieve balance, the man leans slightly backwards while the woman sits on his folded leg and rests her feet on his shoulders. Then he holds his partner’s thighs.

The woman may find this position rather tricky as she has very little support. She can prop herself up on both hands but the lullaby position normally requires that she doesn’t. With her lover’s leg as her only support, she could fall off at any time. Therefore, the man needs to carry her while thrusting vigorously and pushing his partner back and forth.

The swinging motion in now underway. The woman holds on to the man and lets herself be pushed back and pulled forth in a particularly gentle and pleasurable manner. Penetration isn’t deep but allows the couple to serenely enjoy pleasure. The lullaby is a fantastic way to express your love through caresses, kisses and intense looks.

This difficult position is best-suited to supple and athletic lovers who don’t mind exerting themselves for the sake of a few minutes’ intense pleasure, as the lullaby position can’t be sustained much longer. Tricky though it may be, this sexual escapade will no doubt make you sleep like a baby.
