The sex position 69 is one of the most popular practices in bed. What variants are there and what you should still pay attention to.

This is 69

In sex position 69, both sex partners pamper each other with their mouths at the same time: one person lies on his back while the other lies on top. The upper part has its head at the level of the intimate area of ​​the partner and so the other partner also has the intimate area of ​​the person lying above at face level. In this way, both can easily reach each other's genitals with their mouths.

What makes the 69 position so special? On the one hand, this position is very intimate and, on the other hand, it can be foreplay or main act – depending on what the two lovers feel like. Oral pleasure often leads to sex, but stimulation with the mouth and fingers is also particularly appealing to many and quickly takes them to sexual heights.

4 hot variations of the sex position 69

Whether as a pleasurable aperitif or a main course, the 69 can be varied according to your mood. Here you will find four varied variants – from relaxed to challenging:

On each other

Lying on top of one another is the classic 69 position. The man lies below and the woman above. With this variant, the woman can better determine the rhythm of the blowjob and her genital area is easy for him to reach. In the reverse variant (he above, she below), it may be more difficult for him to stimulate the vulva and clitoris and she, too, has difficulty determining how deep the penis penetrates.

Side by side

The two partners lie on their side and opposite each other. Here she has to open her legs a little so that her partner can get closer. Otherwise, this variant is more relaxed than lying on top of each other – at least for those who would otherwise have been lying on top.

Successively

Pampering yourself orally at the same time is incredibly hot, but it also requires a lot of concentration. The alternative: satisfy yourself orally one after the other. Both can stay in sex position 69 and enjoy the intimacy. Or switch back one number – not in passion, only in position. You can find out how the 68 works in the video:

In stand

Standing in the 69er is only for very sporty couples: the woman's legs lie on the man's shoulder, her upper body is facing him so that her face hangs in front of his genital area. He holds her by the waist. Who loves the challenge …

Tips for oral sex

First things first: blowjob (fellatio) and licking (cunnilingus) start with hygiene. Neither of them enjoys it when the other neglects their intimate hygiene … Sexually transmitted diseases that can also be passed on through oral sex are even less attractive. Condoms and leak cloths, however, protect against this.

Tastes are different, …

… this also applies in love life and thus also when pampering with the mouth. Those who have known each other for a long time usually already know how to get their loved ones going. Otherwise try: licking, sucking, sucking, kissing – anything goes, what you like! The tempo can also be varied from time to time, and hands should also be used for caresses and fingers. Woman enjoys being touched and caressed on breasts, thighs and stomach; in men, the testicles and perineal region are also happy to receive tender attention.
