The Rowing boat

According to Greek mythology, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty embodying feminine sensuality, was taken to the island of Cythera after she was born from the sea foam. Now, how would you and your partner like setting off on a similar voyage to Cythera? A few rowing movements is all it takes to get to the island of infinite pleasure.

The rowing boat position is more of an erotic game than a way to reach climax. It serves to escalate the sexual tension, which will then be more amply satisfied in another position. It can also be viewed as a romantic interlude, or even as a way for the man to prolong his lover’s pleasure after ejaculation or if he’s tired. This position provides close skin-to-skin contact and the possibility for both lovers to see the mounting desire and pleasure in each other’s eyes.

Begin by sitting face to face with your legs apart and slightly bent. The woman’s thighs rest on the man’s in a position that makes it easy for the man to enter the woman’s vagina. Both lovers can tilt their upper bodies backwards and hold each other’s ankles with their arms outstretched.

As the couple rock their torsos back and forth in a rowing motion, the man’s testicles and the base of his penis press against the woman’s vagina. The ensuing pleasure spreads to her clitoris. The symmetric position of the two lovers also creates a sense of perfect, almost confusing harmony: the man becomes the woman, and vice versa. Seeing your own, as well as your partner’s sex in action, is a tremendous turn-on. 

Given the penetration angle and his limited ability to move, the man is unlikely to reach his peak in this position, even though he derives intense pleasure from the slight back-and-forth motion of his erect member inside his sweetheart’s moist and warm vagina.

You can, of course, change course and steer your boat differently. The man tilts his torso upwards and maintains his darling in place by placing his hands under her armpits. The woman raises her feet up a little, loosens her legs and crosses them behind the man’s back. This position gives both lovers soaring pleasure until they finally change it to reach a powerful orgasm.
