The Pestle

The Pestle position is difficult for men but it certainly does make sex more imaginative. One might even say magical. Inspired by the rhythmic pounding of the mortar and pestle - a traditional grinding technique used for thousands of years -- the Kama sutra goes back in time to rediscover ancient, authentic sexual practices.

The Pestle position of the same name may be equally brutal and the pounding in the mortar and pestle, but is also extremely refined.

To satisfy his partner, the man has to assume the role of an attentive escort. Kneeling on his right knee, holding his left leg straight in front of him, he advances onto his partner. She awaits him in the middle of the bed, supine, legs apart. And so the suitor declares his undying love.

For the man, this form of penetration is neither easy nor comfortable, as he has to remain in the same position throughout. The woman can help him, aiding penetration, by placing one hand on the bed, to support her, holding her leg with the other. Or they can vary things slightly.

The woman can tuck her legs under her body. Lying on a pile of pillows and cushions, she squeezes her thighs together, while the man tries to prise them apart. The narrowness of her vagina in this position significantly heightens the sensations for both partners.

This is a difficult position for the man but, somehow or other, he always manages. Driving his pestle to the heart of the mortar -- irrespective of the mortar's size -- he sanctifies their union.
