I was scrolling through twitter on my phone when I came across this statement:
"Any time I see an image of someone cuffed or tied sitting spread eagle at a headboard, I think Meh. Not a useful position at all," made by @Saynine.
He followed it up with, "It is sort of like 69. A lot of hype, not really useful."
I quickly agreed, and after some back and forth, I decided to write a post about it.
Think about it. If someone is on their back (supine), on the bed like that, what do you actually have access to? Where do you actually fit? You have chest, face, feet, and belly.
Which I suppose is good if…
you like nipples/breasts and straining someone’s neck to give you oral. Tickle torture. Breath play to a degree. Hm… some wax play. Face sitting… and yep… that is it. Unless you’re "vanilla", then you’re messing with feathers, massage oils and chocolate syrup… but then what?
Women can’t bend their knees and therefore you have limited access to her pussy. Toys don’t feel the best at this angle (until you grab a hitachi or something skinny enough to get in the vulva folds). Guys at least have outdoor plumbing, but, and this may come to a shock to some of you… (ready?) there is more to a guy than his dick. Knees need to bend people.
If they are on their belly (prone) then you have access to pull their hair, or back scratch, of course you have the ass to abuse or pet. But, you still only have limited access. You can’t work properly trying to hold cheeks open to stuff toys, let alone your face comfortably.
In these "two" positions have their place, aren’t entirely useless if you know how to work with them. They are good start. Sure, you can fuck, but, c’mon. There are so many other variations! Especially when you can get fancy like (NSFW) Kink.com does. Wow. At least put your partner on their knees, arms stretched to the corners and grab a spreader bar for their knees so they can’t move.
69ing - same thing. Interesting, when it does work. But the hype? Fuck you Cosmo and Maxim. Seriously. I’m not even going to provide a link to your stupidity. For every 5 good tips they give a year… they give 500 bad ones.
I’m here for YOU. If you want to know the best way "how to" just about anything sexual, I’ll tell you the truth. I told you why these positions are limited, and I gave you ideas of what to do with them – but I’d rather see you get creative. Break the mold, think outside of the box (of under the bed cuffs). Put a hook in you celiling and throw their hands up in the air, put 4 in the corners of a doorway.
Hearing, "My SO put me in bondage last night!!" gets me REALLY happy for you. When you describe these two positions, I hope that you have the creativity to take it as a starting point.
Stop regurgitating bad advice. Oh, and have a Happy New Year!
