Kamasutra: which position is made for you?

Hear ye, hear ye, gymnasts (mostly in the making),

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

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

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

Here, we're pretty convinced that there's 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 the pressure of performance. This article's only goal is to guide you towards experiences that enrich your intimacy, with humour, kindness, and a touch of daring. Ready to discover the position that will sweep you and your partner off your feet (or just yours, 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 looking for optimal comfort for shared intimacy, whatever their body type.

The mood: Feeling like lazing about, whispering sweet nothings, feeling the other's skin against yours, enjoying a sense of total 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 side, one behind the other, facing each other or back-to-back, allowing gentle penetration (vaginal, anal, or the use of sex toys) and unparalleled bodily closeness.

Why is it your perfect match?

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

• Maximum comfort: ideal for long sessions of caressing, gentle exploration, or simply to prolong 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 and edible massage oil. Apply it to your partner's body for a sensual prelude that multiplies tactile pleasure. A small cushion placed under the head or between the legs can increase comfort.

Scenario no.2: the intoxication of letting go

When desire meets strength in a gaze

For whom? Dynamic duos who love looking into each other's eyes, who enjoy the play 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 the wave of your dreams and letting yourself be carried by the other's energy.

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

In this revisited version of the Andromache, one partner sits with 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 eyes constantly meet, where non-verbal communication reaches new heights. The partner on top has total control over the rhythm, depth, and angle, offering a rarely matched freedom to experiment.

Why is it your perfect match?

• Visual and emotional intensity: constant 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 reigns supreme.

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

Our rec: To boost the experience, don't hesitate to play with a positioning cushion under the buttocks of the seated partner. 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 routine, couples hungry for new sensations, or those who want to rediscover pleasures from a new angle. It's an invitation to experimentation for all bodies, even the less flexible ones, with a few helpful boosts.

The mood: Wanting to surprise and be surprised, to stimulate unsuspected zones, to add a hint 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 the 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 lying partner lifts them, creating a deeper and more stimulating angle.

Why is it your perfect match?

• Innovative penetration/stimulation angle: Lifting the pelvis changes everything! It allows more direct stimulation of the G-spot (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 using supports. Pleasure is guaranteed without the pain!

• Visual and emotional intensity: faces are close together, allowing 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 takes you somewhere else.

Scenario no.4: the unfolding of the senses

When pleasure is savoured slowly, solo or with others

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

The mood: You have time, the desire to touch, to feel, to connect with your own body or that of the other at a languid pace.

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

First of all, this is not the acrobatic 69 you're 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 to focus solely on sensations.

Why is it your perfect match?

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

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

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

Our rec: We'll pull the old trick 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 boost sensations for both partners.

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

For a devouring fusion

For whom? Partners seeking a deeply connected intimacy, those who want to feel every millimetre of the other, and who seek a deep, almost spiritual connection, beyond the simple physical act. Suited to all desires 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 

Aka the embodiment of tenderness and fusion. Partners are face to face, legs intertwined (like the "missionary" but with much more body contact), arms wrapped tightly around each other. The goal is to maximise skin-to-skin contact and 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 it your perfect match?

• Maximum intimacy: every part of the body is in contact, creating a unique sense 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, no 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 increase glide and tactile pleasure. It's also the ideal position to fall asleep in after a moment of deep intimacy.

What if we varied the pleasures?

Beyond the purely physical aspect, exploring the Kamasutra 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 daring.

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

DID YOU KNOW that the original text of the Kamasutra devotes a large part to the psychology of relationships, the art of seduction, and the way to live a fulfilled and balanced life? 

We'll leave you with that
