The Tender lover

Sexual positions are all about the art of combining pleasure and intimacy. For a couple, the tender lover position fits the bill, with close body contact, deep penetration and moments of intimate affection during which love and physical pleasure become one.

The woman lies on her back with her legs apart and her knees bent. Her partner slides in between her legs and lifts her hips slightly for easier penetration. To do so, he needs to position his legs close to his darling’s shoulders. He lifts her stomach up to his lips to caress and kiss.

The woman enjoys the sweet pleasure of a strong and passionate embrace and her lover kisses her lovingly. This position is ideal for couples who need to become closer and women who need a little extra loving care.

Though this is a tremendously pleasurable position, the man may have a tough time sustaining it as his bent back is likely to ache after a while. By moving her pelvis, the woman can vary the intensity of pleasure and enhance her lover’s sensations, as his ability to penetrate is rather limited.

In addition to spicing things up, the tender lover position will increase a couple’s intimacy. Body contact is very close, even though this position offers little scope for movement. It is well-suited for heavy-set people and pregnant women, but all couples will certainly love it.
