for deep penetration, try the mermaid position (and its many variations)

To spice up your sex life, test new sensations and taste the pleasures of deep penetration, there is nothing better than the mermaid position. Rest assured, this has nothing to do with how mermaids would have sex (or anything nautical). It’s called that because your legs are pressed together and look like a mermaid’s tail pointing upwards. This position has (many) advantages, here are them.

“The mermaid position is really ideal for deep penetration”explains to Cosmoplitan Gigi Engle, sexologist for SKYN. As your legs are pressed together, your vagina tightens and you feel the sensations more, which is especially good if your partner has a smaller penis. “It also helps stimulate the clitoris”adds the expert. “If you want to take it a step further, get creative with sex toys. Cock rings, clitoral toys, or wearable toys for couples are great additions.”

How to practice the mermaid position?

The mermaid position is very easy to achieve. Simply lie down with your hips resting on the edge of a counter, bed, or sturdy table. “For the receiver, it’s an opportunity to look very sexy without having to make a big effort”, assures Gigi Engle. The donor stands or kneels to penetrate his or her partner, depending on their size.

“The key to making the mermaid position comfortable and not too much of an effort is to make sure both of your genitals are at the same height (or very slightly different) to facilitate penetration.”, says Katherin Winnick, sex coach at Let’s Talk Sex. If the penetrating partner is at an awkward or uncomfortable angle, strategically add a few pillows or a wedge to remedy the situation.

What are the variations of the mermaid?

There is of course the classic mermaid version, as described above. “Before penetration, and when you are already in position, let your partner start by kissing your inner thighs and especially the area behind your knees”recommends Katherin Winnick, who recalls that this area, if it is little used, is very erogenous. “Your partner can slowly move their hands towards your feet to hold them together before sliding inside.”

If you want to get a deeper sensation from your partner, you can also try the position but with your legs bent. “Bring your knees closer to your chest and place your feet against your partner’s”advises Suzannah Weiss, resident sexologist at the erotic and ethical pornography site FrolicMe. “This allows for deeper penetration, which is especially helpful for those whose partners have smaller penises”she adds, also indicating that using a vibrator can allow for even more stimulation.

To go even further, bring your straight legs closer to your body, as if you were doing a candle. “This can allow your partner to go deeper inside you and reach new angles and stimulate other points, like point A (the front wall of the vagina to the back of the cervix). uterus)”, says Suzannah Weiss. Little tip from the expert: the person penetrating can try moving their hips in an upward motion rather than going in and out.

How to add a touch of BDSM to the mermaid?

Also, don’t hesitate to take control of your own pleasure by setting the pace. “Try asking your partner to stay still and move only you, to show them exactly what you like.”, recommends Suzannah Weiss. Another variation: the person being penetrated can alternate between tight legs and open legs during penetration, which will modify the feeling of tension.

Finally, to play with power and make it a little more BDSM, let the penetrating partner take full control, moving your legs as they please. He can push your legs to the side, bend your knees, or hold you higher by your butt. “He may spank you or lightly pinch your lips with his right index finger and thumb to stimulate you further while holding your ankles with his left hand,” suggests Katherine Winnick. Of course, all of this remains optional and requires the consent of both parties.
