Getting into position:
Armchair For-two begins with the man leaning back against a pillow or cushion. The woman then seats herself upon his manhood and places her feet comfortably upon his shoulders. Bringing his knees up, he should be able to create somewhat of a backrest for her to lean back upon.
The couple is now ready to begin a slow sensual rocking motion. The man is said to have the majority of the control of this position in both the rate and intensity of the penetration, but it actually seems to be much more functional to have the woman be in control throughout the motions.
The man is urged to make use of his hands in a variety of external stimulation towards his partner, such as caressing her breasts and gently massaging her clitoris. The woman will enjoy the intense face-to-face contact and her ability to tease him in her entrapment!
On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate position (1 as horrible, 10 as sexual nirvana)?
This position receives a 8.5 from both of us.
Did you have difficulty getting into the position? Getting into the position is not the problem, but rather getting into it comfortably. At first having the focus of her entire weight pressing down on your pelvis may not feel too great, but upon shifting around a bit, there will be a spot where she just seems to just settle in and conform to your body.
Did you feel like a pretzel? Were you able to do the motions once in position? This position does get a bit entangling, but moderately so as Kama Sutra goes. The ability to create motions with this position will seem a bit of a mystery at first, as there is not much the woman can do with her legs placed upon the mans shoulders. This is why I think the man is instructed to control the position, although by placing her hands on the floor, the woman can offer the man a very sensual lap dance that will blow his mind. In doing this, the couple can actually take turns pleasuring each other, rather than having it be just a one-sided affair.
Any recommendations on getting either in or out of this position: The man has got to be HARD and turned-on while getting into position, or chances are by the time everything is situated, he will have lost his erection and you will have to start all over again.
How long did you last in the position? 15-20 minutes.
Enjoyment once you were in position (for the woman): She loved this position and felt very sexy and beautiful while doing it.
Enjoyment once you were in position (for the man): I must admit that I found her very beautiful and sexy to watch, which made what little motions we were capable of, all the more pleasurable.
Short Answers:
Was the position comfortable? Were you able to relax?
Man: I was completely relaxed once she was settled upon my lap, although in the beginning and towards the end there was definitely some discomfort. By the end, as we reached simultaneous orgasm, my rear was almost completely asleep, my pelvic bone was on fire, and my ball sack was getting pretty tingly…
Woman: She was moderately comfortable for being curled up in a partial ball for most of the position. She found her “spot” rather quickly and was good to go for awhile.
Would you consider this to be an intimate position (Why or why not)? This is an incredibly intimate position! The face-to-face connection, complemented by its close physical contact allowed us to really take an conscious role in pleasuring each other. One of my chief turn-ons for this position was experiencing each of her orgasms along with her.
Are you achy or sore after the fact?
Man: Yes, my pelvic bone was actually quite sore the next day.
Woman: No…
What did the position feel like (both mentally and physically) in 50 words or less? Mentally: This position makes you both feel very sexy and connected with each other. Physically: This is a position with no slam, no bam, and for the the premature ejaculater, no “dam!” While offering the most stimulation possibilities for the woman, the man is then able to focus on her orgasms and collect his own reward later, whenever he is ready.
Did she reach orgasm? …Yes, a big one, then a small one… then finished off with a surprise grand daddy finale.
Did he reach orgasm? …Yes, I had a great one with her third finale!
Did it take longer than usual to reach orgasm? This position actually allows you to have much more control over your orgasm, since the motions are very deliberate, slow, and controllable.
Would you do this position again (why or why not)? Yes, this position is what intimate contact is all about. It allows you to focus on each other and remember some of the little things you may have forgot about, such as long passionate kissing, slow deep massaging, those tender sweeps of the hand, that used to just melt your partner like butter.
Any suggestions to make the position more pleasurable: Nope!
