is position 77 the new 69?

The great thing about sex life is that you can revolutionize it anytime you want. Fancy a little something new? How about trying 77, this position praised by sex therapists?

Doggy style, 69, spoon, missionary …, once we have listed five positions of the Kamasutra, we realize that we often show little imagination in our sex lives, and that we do not know any that much. And yet, if this Indian collection dedicated to the sexual life and to the infinity of interlocking bodies was written centuries ago, certain positions experienced renewed popularity years later, as evidenced by the famous "position 77 », Acclaimed by pleasure professionals.

Position 77, what is it?

This is Cynthia Gentry, female orgasm expert, who was the first to bring this particular position up to date, obviously conducive to the burning of bodies. In his book "The Bedside orgasm book: 365 days of sexual ecstasy », Published in 2004, the American journalist and author lists tips and tricks for daily sexual happiness as a couple. Among them, the famous "position 77" of Kamasutra, exhumed from the ancestral collection.

Its concept? An improved spoon. Lying on her side, the woman nestles against the man, both partners looking in the same direction. So far, nothing new under the covers. Then the woman wraps her upper leg around her partner. " It is from this moment that the man can start to penetrate his partner ", explains the author.
Then, the woman can lean her bust forward so as to form a right angle (visualize a square for the mathophobes) with the bust and the legs, and thus draw the number "7". The partner follows the angle, the two bodies then forming the famous "77" (you visualize?).
But that's not all. The woman finally spreads her legs high, in a V after all acrobatic but especially orgasmic according to followers of the double 7 and pleasure professionals who are full of praise for the pimped spoon.

Why does it provide so much pleasure?

According to Cynthia Gentry, the supreme strength of position 77 comes precisely from the famous balancing "V" formed by the woman's thighs, then particularly stimulated at the level of her G-spot. Thus she declares in her book that "It seems that the 77 looks a bit like the spoon position, but it would have the added value of undoubtedly providing an orgasm in women, because the 77 would probably promote the stimulation of the point G."

For more pleasure, you can arch your waist so that the partner sinks even deeper. Afraid of running out of practice, thigh strength or abs? Ask your partner to support your leg in the air, bend over and let yourself be overwhelmed by the unprecedented pleasure of 77 without focusing on these efforts which, beneath the pleasure, will quickly cease. In addition, the advantage of 77 is that your partner can caress your breasts, your clitoris or kiss your neck or your ears, which are highly erogenous zones.

And then, if setting up the 77 position seems complicated to you, rest assured, it is not. Test! And tell yourself that you are lying down, and not twisted upside down or thrown unceremoniously in a helicopter as recommended by some much more outlandish positions probably practiced only by professionals of the Cirque du Soleil. Finally, and as Cynthia Gentry concludes, "If there is one thing that is good about sex, it is that you never count the hours you invest in your practice. " Not true ?
