Position of the Week:
Outer Space

Masturbation May is still coming thick and fast for you lovely horny people – and this week, we’ve got a simpler-than-it looks mutual masturbation position that’s too good not to share...

Why?

The angle naturally lines your beautiful bods up without needing gymnastics-level flexibility. It’s also brilliant for outercourse - ie. Delicious, lingering, non-penetrative sex - with loads of opportunities for mutual pleasure: clitoral stimulation, stroking, – or simply enjoying the view!

Both people’s hands are also free, which means you can multitask in extremely fun ways. Add a clitoral vibrator, nipple play, or anal stimulation into the mix without anyone needing to stop and awkwardly reposition every thirty seconds like you’re assembling IKEA furniture naked.

Make it even easier

One of the best things about this position is that tiny adjustments can make a huge difference. If lifting the hips feels uncomfortable, slide a firm pillow or sex wedge under the lower back or bum to reduce strain.

The seated partner can also lean against a headboard, couch arm, or wall instead of supporting themselves with their arms the entire time. Tight hamstrings? No problem. Ankles don’t need to sit perfectly on shoulders - resting calves against the chest works just fine, especially for anyone dealing with joint pain, fatigue, or limited flexibility.

Make it even better

Adding massage oil can change the entire vibe of this position from “lazy Sunday sex” to “expensive erotic movie scene.” Warm a little oil between your hands first, then use it across the thighs, hips, lower stomach, bum, or chest before you even move onto mutual masturbation.

Slow, slippery touching also builds anticipation ridiculously well here because both bodies are fully visible and easy to reach. The seated partner can massage their lover’s inner thighs while teasing with fingers or a bullet vibrator, while the lying partner can caress their own body for extra visual stimulation. Be sure to opt for body-safe massage oils that are specifically designed for intimacy.

Make it even kinkier

Try using a blindfold on one partner to deepen the dynamic into one of edging and teasing. Once their vision disappears, every tiny sensation suddenly feels louder: fingertips on thighs, warm breath, a vibrator teasing the clitoris, nails dragging lightly over skin. The seeing partner can intentionally pause, switch rhythms, or tease with different textures to keep anticipation painfully delicious.

Pro tip: talk throughout. Whispering filthy little updates about what you’re about to do can make it ten times hotter.
