Position of the Week:
The Hammock


Strong and taut like a hammock, this position will have you floating in midair... It’s not quite the same as lounging in the sunshine with a cocktail, but fun nonetheless.

How?

Giver, sit yourself on the edge of the bed with your feet flat on the floor. Lean back slightly so your torso isn’t in the way while your partner gets in position.

Receiver, kneel next to your partner, facing in the same direction as them. Lift one knee and place it on the other side of their lap, so you’re straddling them while facing away. Now’s the time to slide your partner’s lubed-up penis or strap-on inside you.

Hold onto each other’s hands or wrists as the receiver leans forwards, letting their chest rest on the giver’s knees. Giver, lean back and let the counterbalance do some of the work.


Feels like vacation mode


Why?

Holding hands and leaning away from each other creates an exciting tension. It’s fun to see if you can still thrust in this challenging position, but it’s just as good for grinding. Plus, the receiver’s booty will be right under the giver’s nose for a peachy view.

Keeping your body taut increases your blood flow, which is a key mechanism for arousal. You might also find penetration feels tighter as you brace. That, combined with the novelty of doing something new, can make The Hammock feel pretty wild.

Make it even better

Slide a vibrating cock ring onto the giver’s member and position it upside-down so the head of the toy is underneath the shaft. The vibrations will tease the balls while also sending vibrations to the receiver's clit.

You can pop a butt plug (hello, it’s anal August after all) into the receiver’s behind to stimulate the clitoral network or prostate from within and provide a pleasing sensation of fullness.

Pick one with a glittering jewel (like the Lovehoney Secret Shine Metal Plug) to treat the giver to a pleasing twinkle between those cheeks.

Make it even easier

This one can be tough on the hands and forearms, especially if you get wrist fatigue, so try a position strap for an easier hold.

If you can only maintain the position for a minute or two, that’s enough to enjoy the novelty. Otherwise, you can try a variation with the giver lying completely flat – which may be easier if you’ve got mobility issues.

In this variation, the receiver will lie between the giver’s legs, stretching their own legs flat along the giver’s torso. You won’t experience an epic thrust like this, but it can feel phenomenal for receivers who like pressure on their G-spot.

Make it even kinkier

Get the receiver in a sexy harness so the giver has something to hold onto. The giver will feel super powerful thrusting into you while pulling lightly on the leather straps around your torso. Just be sure to stress test your harness before you get in position, so it doesn’t snap in the heat of the moment.

If you’re playing with a strap-on, you could dial up the intensity with dual penetration. A toy like the Playboy Hug It Out Strapless Strap-on works best; the inflatable bulb keeps the toy snugly in place on the giver while anal beads fill them up nicely.

If the receiver is into anal penetration, pick a more flexible toy like the Desire Luxury Strapless Strap-On to get into those angles.
