Kamasutra: which position is made for you?

Hear ye, hear ye, gymnasts (in the making, for most of us),

4 syllables, an evocative word : ka -ma-su-tra.

Immediately, images of acrobatic contortions and bodies intertwined in positions that defy the laws of gravity come to mind. But not a bit of it...

Far from being a manual reserved for the most flexible or the initiated, the Kama Sutra is above all a celebration of connection, intimacy and pleasure in all its forms.

Here, we're fairly convinced that there is a position, a sensation, a spark for everyone, whatever your body, your desires, or your level of downward-facing dog.

Come on, let's forget about performance pressure once more. This article has one sole objective: to guide you towards experiences that enrich your intimacy, with humour, kindness and a touch of boldness. Ready to discover the position that will sweep you and your partner off your feet (or your own, solo!)?

Scenario no. 1: the cocooning companion

When love rhymes with tenderness and closeness

For whom? Lovers of rainy Sundays, devotees of infinite tenderness, those who prioritise emotional and physical connection without artifice or superhuman effort. People seeking optimal comfort for shared intimacy, whatever their body type.

The mood: Wanting to laze about, to whisper sweet nothings, to feel the other's skin against your own, to enjoy a sense of complete depth...

The position: the spoon 

Its simplicity is matched only by its effectiveness. This position is the very definition of relaxed intimacy. Partners lie on their sides, one behind the other, facing each other or back to back, allowing for gentle penetration (vaginal, anal, or the use of sex toys) and unrivalled bodily closeness.

Why is this your perfect match?

• Universal accessibility: the spoon is the queen of inclusivity. It adapts to all body types, tired bodies, bodies in recovery, bodies that prefer a slower pace.

• Maximum comfort: ideal for long caressing sessions, gentle explorations, or simply for prolonging intimacy after the act.

• Deep connection: skin-to-skin contact is at its maximum, encouraging caresses, kisses on the neck, and a sense of security and belonging. Hands are free to explore, massage, or hold an accessory.

Our rec: Elevate this moment with a warm edible massage oil . Apply it to your partner's body for a sensual prelude that multiplies tactile pleasure. A small cushion slipped under the head or between the legs can increase comfort.

Scenario no. 2: the intoxication of letting go

When gaze meets desire and strength

For whom? Dynamic duos who love to look each other in the eyes, who enjoy the interplay of control and surrender, and who seek emotional or physical intensity. It's also a wonderful position for lesbian couples, for the use of sex toys, and for those who love a feeling of fullness.

The mood: Craving passion, depth, an intense visual connection that makes every movement electric. You love riding your dreams and letting yourself be carried by the other's energy.

The position: the seated Andromache (a variation of the "Vertical Face-to-Face")

In this revisited version of the Andromache, one partner sits with their legs slightly apart. The other sits facing them, legs wrapped around their waist or resting on the bed, turned towards them. It's a position where gazes constantly meet, where nonverbal communication reaches new heights. The partner on top has total control over the pace, depth, and angle, offering a freedom of experimentation that is rarely matched.

Why is this your perfect match?

• Visual and emotional intensity: sustained eye contact combined with the closeness of faces amplifies sensations and emotional intimacy.

• Control and exploration: the partner on top can vary the angle of penetration or stimulation, making it possible to discover new pleasure zones, both for them and for the other. For clitoral stimulation or the use of accessories, this position is queen.

• Versatility: easily adaptable for different body types and for the use of strap-on dildos or vibrators, it ensures a puissante and personalised experience.

Our rec: To boost the experience, don't hesitate to play with a positioning cushion under the seated partner's bottom. This can adjust the angle and increase comfort for deeper sensations.

Scenario no. 3: the sensory explorer

When curiosity leads to seventh heaven

For whom? Those who love breaking the routine, couples hungry for new sensations, or those who want to rediscover pleasures from a fresh angle. It's an invitation to experimentation for all bodies, even the least flexible, with a little helping hand.

The mood: Wanting to surprise and be surprised, to titillate unexpected zones, to add a touch of excitement to the ordinary.

The position: the bridge of sighs 

It offers a radically different angle of penetration or stimulation. One partner lies on their back, legs raised with feet resting on the other's shoulders (or simply drawn towards their chest). The "active" partner is on top, leaning in for penetration or stimulation. The secret? A small cushion or even a few pillows slipped under the hips of the partner lying down helps to raise them, creating a deeper and more stimulating angle.

Why is this your perfect match?

• Innovative penetration/stimulation angle: lifting the pelvis changes everything! It allows for more direct g-spot stimulation (for vaginal penetration) or a different pressure for anal penetration or the use of sex toys.

• Intensity without effort: contrary to what one might think, this position does not require great flexibility when supports are used. Pleasure is guaranteed without the pain!

• Visualisation and connection: faces are close together, allowing for passionate kisses and constant communication about sensations.

Our rec: a good lube is ESSENTIAL for this position in order to maximise comfort and sensations. Don't hesitate to experiment with the height of the support under the pelvis until you find the angle that transports you.

Scenario no. 4: the peeling back of the senses

When pleasure is savoured slowly, solo or together

For whom? Lovers of the art of caressing, those who savour every moment, and who seek to prolong pleasure without the pressure of an immediate "climax". Ideal for exploring bodies, shared masturbation or solo play.

The mood: You have the time, le désir to touch, to feel, to connect with your own body or the other's at a languid pace.

The position: the lazy lotus (a variation of the "69")

So first of all, this is nowhere near the acrobatic 69 you might be imagining! The "lazy lotus" is a comfortable variation of simultaneous oral pleasure or mutual masturbation. Partners lie head-to-toe, either on their backs facing each other for oral sex, or positioned so as to have comfortable access for mutual masturbation or the use of a sex toy on the other. The idea is to eliminate all tension so as to focus solely on the sensations.

Why is this your perfect match?

• Multiplied oral or tactile pleasure: the position allows easy and comfortable access to erogenous zones, without fatigue or cramp. It's the perfect invitation to the art of fellatio, cunnilingus, or anal stimulation.

• Nonverbal connection: not being able to see each other directly allows you to focus on sounds, smells and sensations, creating a bubble of sensory pleasure.

• Versatility: perfect for duos who enjoy simultaneous oral sex, but also for moments of shared masturbation where each partner explores their own body while the other is by their side.

Our rec: We'll pull the same trick again of...the pillow (or bolster) between the legs: it can make the position even more comfortable. Don't hesitate to experiment with vibrating rings to enhance sensations for both partners.

Scenario no. 5: the meeting of souls (and bodies)

For a devouring fusion

For whom? Partners in search of a merging intimacy, those who want to feel every millimetre of the other, and who seek a deep, almost spiritual connection beyond the purely physical act. Suitable for every desire for tenderness and closeness.

The mood: You want to lose yourself in the other, to feel absolutely united, as if your bodies were one.

The position: the heart cuddle 

Also known as the embodiment of tenderness and fusion. Partners are face to face, legs intertwined (like a "missionary" but with far more bodily contact), and arms wrapped tightly around each other. The aim is to maximise skin-to-skin contact and to feel enveloped by the other. Whether for penetration or simply for a moment of intense post-coital tenderness, it's perfect for reconnecting.

Why is this your perfect match?

• Maximum intimacy: every part of the body is in contact, creating a unique sensation of fusion. It's an excellent position for deep kisses, caresses all over the body, and intimate whispers.

• Emotional comfort: this position brings a sense of security and love, strengthening emotional bonds.

• Adaptability: it is gentle, not physically demanding and easily adapts to all body types and all levels of flexibility.

Our recommendation: to make the experience even more intoxicating, try synchronising your breathing. A good water-based lube can enhance glide and tactile pleasure. It's also the ideal position for drifting off to sleep after a moment of deep intimacy.

What if we varied the pleasures?

Beyond the purely physical aspect, exploring the Kama Sutra means exploring your relationship, your desires, your limits. It's an invitation to communication, to listening to the other (and to yourself!), and to greater boldness.

We firmly believe that pleasure is a universal right, accessible to all, regardless of preferences, bodies or histories. The Kama Sutra, far from being a dusty old book, is a wonderful tool for rediscovering the art of loving and being loved.

AND DID YOU KNOW that the original text of the Kama Sutra dedicates a large part to the psychology of relationships, the art of seduction, and the way to live a fulfilling and balanced life? 

We'll leave you with that
