How To Try The Sockets Sex Position

Scissors Sex PositionIntersection Sex Position

The Sockets sex position closely resembles the Scissors sex position, simply because it's a variation on it, unlike most positions covered in our sexual positions guide.

To get into the Sockets with your man, start on your back on the bed with your legs spread open. Bend your knees and plant your feet on the mattress, which lets you lift your waist and lower back off the bed. Your man then lies on his side at the opposite end of the bed, with his penis nearest your feet and his head furthest away. He shifts toward you to enter you. If he's lying on his right side, he'll slide his right leg under your left leg and rest his left leg over it. To enter you, he pushes his penis downward, which can create some strain or discomfort if he isn't particularly flexible there.

Her Role In The Sockets Position

You'll find yourself in a position you've probably never tried, but it becomes familiar after a few minutes. Simply thrust forward and backward against your man in a rocking rhythm powered by your legs. If you're not used to holding yourself elevated like this, it can tire you out fast.

You'll also need to spread your arms out for balance, or try grabbing one of his legs to help pull yourself toward him. If the thrusting wears you out, relax and let a good portion of your weight rest on his lower leg while you grind against him instead.

This position happens to work well if you have a foot fetish.

His Role In The Sockets Position

Your man ends up in a somewhat awkward spot here. Since he's lying on his side, thrusting in and out isn't really possible. Instead, he should grip the leg positioned in front of him and gently pull you toward him as you thrust. If you're both grinding together, he can hold your leg firmly to add friction, which can deliver great clitoral stimulation.

Tips For Making The Sockets Position Work

Relatively few Love Curi readers have tried the Sockets position with their partner, but those who have shared some genuinely useful insights:

• The Sockets can feel like an awkward position to attempt, since it's quite unlike anything besides the Scissors.
• If holding your waist elevated tires you out, try slipping a pillow under your back for support.
• This isn't a particularly intimate position. Eye contact is tough to maintain, and kissing, spanking, and similar activities are difficult to pull off here too.

Sean's Take On The Sockets Sex Position

The Sockets position definitely looks exotic, but really the only tricky part is making sure your man has enough flexibility in his penis to angle it fully downward. Beyond that, it's pretty straightforward.

But as I always say, looking exotic doesn't automatically mean it delivers more satisfaction.
