Kamasutra Secrets: Discover the Slow, Deep Turtle Position!

The focus here isn’t on wild, fast-paced action, but rather on slowing things down, gentle touches… and profound depth with the position known as “the turtle.” “It might not sound like the sexiest name for a position,” remarks sex therapist Maryse Frochot. “Yet, despite its calm appearance, it hides a real potential for deep and intense pleasure.” At first glance, this position might seem “simple,” yet it opens up a realm of sensory possibilities.

What is the Turtle Position?

The turtle position is a variation of the doggy style, easy to execute. The receiving partner bends their knees, resting their belly on top, with their torso leaning forward. The arms can either be folded under the head or stretched out in front. The penetrating partner positions themselves behind, either kneeling or squatting depending on the desired angle of penetration. This setup allows for targeted and often more intense penetration than the traditional doggy style. “The turtle position encourages you to slow down, tune into your sensations, and play with the rhythms and breathing,” notes the expert for JOYclub. But beware: “It’s a position that allows for very deep penetration. So, communicate and proceed gently to avoid discomfort or pain.”

What Kind of Pleasure?

The turtle position offers profound pleasure and can stimulate highly sensitive areas like the G-spot. The pleasure varies depending on body positioning. By spreading the legs, adjusting the angle of the pelvis… It is recommended to alternate between slow, deep rhythms and more vigorous movements. The receiving partner can fully relax while the giving partner maintains connection through caresses, sweet nothings, and kisses on the neck. The experience can also be enhanced with a blindfold, soft handcuffs, or a sensual role-playing game. “The turtle shows that you don’t need spectacular performances for intense pleasure. It’s a tribute to slowness and connection,” concludes Maryse Frochot.
