Romantic & close

A seated, face-to-face embrace where partners wrap around each other. It is less about movement and more about closeness, breathing together, and eye contact.

Both partners lie on their sides, one behind the other, like nested spoons. It is one of the most comfortable and low-effort ways to be close.

Lying side by side and facing each other, legs loosely intertwined. Simple, close, and great for eye contact and conversation.

One partner lies on their back while the other faces them from above, supported on hands, elbows, or knees. Often called the missionary position, it is popular for good reason: it is simple, intimate, and easy to adjust.

One partner lies on their back and the other sits or kneels astride them, facing them. The partner on top sets the pace and depth, which makes it a great option for exploring what feels good.

A variation of the face-to-face position in which the partner on top shifts their body slightly higher and both move with a slow, rocking motion rather than in-and-out movement. It is often recommended for more shared pleasure and closeness.

One partner sits on a sturdy armless chair and the other sits on their lap, facing them. It is a close, cuddle-like position that moves the moment out of the bedroom.
