The ancient Hindus have a well-developed literary tradition that focuses on the art and science of achieving satisfying sex. The best known sexual positions can be found in the Kama Sutra. There are several Kama Sutra positions worth recommending in the pursuit of sexual pleasure: the traditional woman on her back, the man on top; man from behind, woman in superior position; and woman with her back to the man. Here are several Kama Sutra positions with unique and loosely translated names to unleash your most primal desires.

“Put on the sock.” Go ahead and try to say it without bursting into laughter or better yet, let your imagination run wild. ‘Put on the sock’ does not refer to the man covering his penis with a sock. Actually, it refers to a very erotic technique with the woman on her back, the man sits between her legs and puts his penis at the entrance of her vagina. Slowly caressing his vagina, he replaces his fingers with his penis. Her continuous caresses will leave her incredibly wet, wild and on the verge of orgasm. The man puts an end to the erotic torture by pushing the woman giving her what she really longs for.

‘The Blacksmith Stance.’ In this Kama Sutra position, the woman lies down and draws her knees towards her torso pushing her vagina forward creating a scintillating view. The man then begins the game of madly teasing her by inserting and withdrawing his penis from her. Obviously, this Kama Sutra position helps a man maintain a longer erection. Supposedly, this movement mimics the blacksmith who ‘pulls the hot iron out of the fire…’. The best thing is that this Kama Sutra position can lead to scorching sex.

The ‘Ostrich Tail’. With the woman on his back, the man kneels at her feet and then raises her legs until only her head and shoulders are on the bed or floor. After he penetrates her, she can put her legs around her head. Her raised legs give the impression of being spread out, like an ostrich’s tail. This sensual Kama Sutra position benefits both of you by allowing you to slow down your orgasm.

The ‘Yawning Position’. In this Kama Sutra position, the woman is on her back, raising and spreading her legs wide while the man eagerly penetrates her vagina. This position allows the man and woman to share the intimacy of pleasure while looking into each other’s eyes. The woman can also caress her breasts increasing visual stimulation.

Of course, I would love to write that these Kama Sutra positions provide momentous orgasms for everyone. The fact is that these positions are really for athletic and adventurous people. That’s not to say that a modified version doesn’t benefit everyone, so why not give them a try?
