This romantic and intimate position will really make you sweat on a hot summer afternoon. The penetrating partner kneels down (think marriage proposal position) while the receiving partner straddles them to bounce and grind away. You’ll get plenty of kissing and eye-gazing to make it super pleasurable. You may know this position by its other less SFW name —“face sitting”— but Queening in Bondage is when a partner recieves oral stimulation while resting on or above their partner’s mouth. Adding restraint play to this is yet another way to up the sensation and intensity of the scene or sexual encounter, allowing the receiving partner to really own the power of the pose (as pictured here) or offering an equally sexy subversion if you switch places. There's a reason why this ancient text has endured as a source for erotic pleasure for centuries. Something as simple as changing where you place your legs or your partner's bum can add excitement to your sex life and hit pleasure points you didn't even know existed! While most people think the Kama Sutra is all about sex, it's actually about the philosophy and theory of love. It covers topics including finding a life partner, flirting and the nature of love.

The penetrating partner gets blindfolded for this one, putting the power all in the hands of the receiving partner they slide down onto their partner’s lap. From there, it’s all about grinding and leaning to find the ultimate sensation.
