1. Lotus

Step-by-step: 

  1. Sit with your knees bent out to the sides and the bottoms of your feet touching, much like a butterfly position in yoga. 
  2. Your partner will then sit in your lap, facing you, and wrap their legs around your back. It's important to note that your partner will need to perch close enough that you can reach their anus for penetration.
