Position of the Week:
Feel the Lovehoney Solo

This solo symphony is about feeling yourself to the max and deepening your sexual confidence in a curious, compassionate way. It’s sensual, sexy, and even a little surprising...

Feeling distracted? Try slowing things down and focusing on the sensations; the soft furnishings on your skin, the warmth of your hands, the warm tingle of the gel. Tuning in to how your body feels can help stay in the moment.

Why?

The slight hip stretch creates tautness to the skin, while the muscular engagement brings more blood flow to your pelvis. Together, this can increase sensitivity and create a sense of novelty compared to your usual moves.

But the real joy of this position is seducing yourself like you would a lover. When you approach masturbation like a quick job to ‘get done’, it can feel a little empty and anticlimactic. Slowing things down and getting properly warmed up can make the experience so much more satisfying.

Make it even easier

The goal of this position is to open up the hips and groin area without overextending – sensuality thrives when you’re relaxed and supported.

So, if you’re struggling to keep the bent leg elevated, rest it on some cushions or try the position on a couch, where you can lean against the back. If keeping your knee bent proves difficult, try stretching the legs out long but pressing them close together; to create a different sort of tension and novelty.

Make it even better

If you’re pleasing a penis, add a stroker toy for added texture and sensation. We love Arcwave Zing because it has an adjustable tightness band for creating sensual pressure around the shaft, taking the strain out of your hands and letting the toy do all the work. Switching between slow and fast strokes, or pausing to squeeze and edge, can really dial up the intensity. Add lube generously; slippery is sensational.

For some vibrant vulva play, try using a rabbit toy like the Lovehoney mon ami Dual Massager to play with vibrations to the clitoris, vaginal opening, and G-spot. Try using the vibrating arm to stimulate the clit externally first, before easing into penetration with plenty of lube.

Hot tip? You can also use a rabbit toy upside-down for some satisfying double penetration, filling both anus and vulva – just be sure to clean your toy thoroughly before switching back.

Whether you’re playing with your hands or your toys, follow what feels good and don’t be afraid to explore every inch of your body.

Make it even kinkier

Add a pinwheel (or Wartenberg wheel) for a little sharp-edged kink. They look a teensy bit scary, but they can be used for light tickling, only crossing over into prickliness if you choose to apply more pressure.

Trace along the inner thigh, hip crease, lower belly for tingly pleasure. For a more intense sensation, apply to the nipples, labia or shaft of the penis. The prickling of a pinwheel can make you feel even more sensitive to other sensations, which is why some people love this kinky little toy.

You can mix sensations too; follow the pinwheel with a warm hand, ice cube, or the thrilling buzz of a vibrator. Always go slow and check in with yourself: that delicious sting should stay in the zone of “mmm,” not “ouch.”

Not the position for you?

We're working to make sure that everyone is represented on our website, regardless of who you love, so we'll be using a variety of gender depictions in our Position of the Week posts. This will include straight, gay, lesbian, and gender neutral couples, but all positions will have details in the description of how to make them work for your own relationship dynamic.
