Venus’ necklace

Having your partner’s legs around your neck and being able to look between her parted legs gives lovemaking an almost magical dimension.

Venus’ necklace is a rather classic position for lovemakers: the woman lies on her back with her buttocks on the edge of a sufficiently high bed or table and her legs raised at a right angle from her upper body.

The man stands on the floor at the edge of the bed and brings his lover’s legs onto his chest, so that her ankles rest on his shoulders and her feet meet behind his head. He pulls the woman’s thighs close against his hips and turns around to bring the woman off the support of the bed. With strong abs, she’ll be able to sustain this right angle position.

If not she can choose between two variations: either she holds on to her partner’s arms or shoulders, which enables her to move and play with penetration, or she lets herself fall back until her hands reach the floor for support. The latter position is more comfortable, as the woman clings to the man’s neck, with her bottom and hips firmly on his thighs and her back and head hanging loose.  

The peculiar angle of the penis and vagina, as well as the unusual muscular tension in the partners’ thighs and abs, are what makes the Venus’ necklace position unique and so enjoyable for many people.
