Lotus Sex Position

The Most Intimate and Connected Sex Position

The Lotus position (also known as Yab-Yum) is one of the most intimate and deeply connective sex positions you can experience. It’s slow, sensual, and perfect for couples who want to feel completely wrapped up in each other.

What It Looks Like

He sits cross-legged on the bed or floor. She sits on his lap facing him, wrapping her legs around his waist. They stay chest-to-chest the entire time, moving slowly and sensually together.

How to Do It

1. He sits comfortably cross-legged on the bed or a soft surface.
2. She climbs onto his lap and wraps her legs around his waist.
3. She lowers herself onto him and they stay fully connected, chest to chest.
4. They move together in slow, grinding motions rather than fast thrusting.
5. Wrap your arms around each other and stay close the entire time.
