Lotus Position (Kamasutra): Ultimate Pleasure Guide, Tips & Visuals!

This is THE position for making love gently (slow sex) and focusing on a highly erotic exchange. Providing a special moment of intimacy for both partners, the lotus position allows the woman to set the pace with her lover during deep penetration to achieve an intense orgasm.

What is the Lotus Position in the Kamasutra?

Extremely comfortable, the lotus position does not require any special agility and provides maximal pleasure. This is likely why it ranks among our favorites! Also known as the “Goddess posture” in the Kamasutra, the sexual position of the lotus allows the woman to control the pace according to her desires to reach ecstasy. It’s her movements that set the rhythm, and the lotus position offers deeper penetration of the partner’s sex than other positions, thus providing more intense pleasure.

How to Do It?

To try it, nothing too complicated: your lover sits cross-legged, preferably on a mat or a cushion for optimal comfort. You sit on and facing him, then wrap your legs around his waist, your feet against his buttocks. You can slide your hands under his arms to hold onto his back, while he can place his hands under your hips. This allows for rocking movements back and forth, and the lotus position ensures prolonged enjoyment. Arch well when you are penetrated by your partner so that your vulva and clitoris rest against his lower abdomen… Strong sensations guaranteed!

The Lotus Position and Its Variations

This position is so pleasant to practice that it would be a shame not to try the little variations:

• The acrobatic lotus: as the name suggests, this variant of the lotus position requires some athletic ability and a physically fit lover. The woman lies on her back with her legs apart. The man, squatting, comes to face her, places her feet around his thighs, and penetrates her deeply.
• The reversed lotus: the woman lies on her back, grabs her ankles, and lifts her legs (you’d better be somewhat flexible if you’re tempted). The man finds his way to her inner thighs and places his hands on either side of her neck to penetrate her. This variant of the lotus position is perfect if the man’s penis is somewhat short…

The lotus position offers a real moment of sexual communion between the two lovers. Paving the way to powerful orgasms, it’s an opportunity for the woman to listen to her body to easily and powerfully access pleasure. If you haven’t yet tried the lotus position, a make-up session is essential as soon as possible, and you won’t regret it.
