According to the KAMA SUTRA of ancient times, Sexual Union begins with the female in a lying down position, on her back, with the male on his knees or crouching facing her.
Number one, Widely Open. In this position the female is on her back, knees up, feet down, legs wide apart. Using a pelvic tilt she can raise her hips to welcome his lingam. It’s good to use pillows for pelvic support to help elevate her. Before beginning any unions, make sure that she has been amply aroused and is ready for his penetration. The male is in control of the depth of thrusting. This position offers eye contact and visual, auditory and sensual connecting.
One variation is called Splitting a Bamboo, in which she places an outstretched leg on his shoulder and the other leg extends down.
Number two, Rising Union. In the Rising Union the female is on her back, and raises her thighs for penetration.
This is the entrée to the Yawning Union, in which, while the man kneels, her legs are up in the air in a V-shaped spread. She rests her thighs on his thighs for support and contact with him. The man’s hands support beside her or hold her hands. This is a male-dominant position. The female may need to change the angle of penetration or require manual stimulation of her clitoris for enhanced pleasure, especially if she is not aroused enough at the beginning of the union.
Number three, Clasping Union. The male lies on top of his female partner, facing her in classic missionary style. This is a position for shallow penetration, allowing for movements with friction yet gentle thrusting motions. Both have their feet outstretched. In this position there is greater chance for a feeling of intimacy, letting the couple establish eye contact to gaze at one another, while lying body to body.
Variations include outstretching arms over their heads and clasping hands, which can feel very intense and emotionally connected. Lying on their side, facing each other, this can also feel like a true embrace with penetration, very sweet and close. In the KAMA SUTRA men should always lay on their left side, women on their right, to maximize the flow of sexual energy. This position can also be done with the male from behind the female, which can promote deeper contact with her yoni and allow him to fondle her breasts or stroke her clitoris.
Other variations include: Pressing Union: A variation of clasping union, in which the female presses her thighs against his.
Twining Union: A variation of clasping union, in which the female puts one thigh across his thigh.
Like a Mare, or the Mare’s Position: A variation of clasping union, in which the female applies vaginal pressure against his lingam, holding it tightly inside of her yoni. This is a good way to practice the PC exercises.
Number four, Woman Acting the Male Role; This is a position in which the female is superior on her knees, or the female is superior with her legs extended. These positions allow the female to dominate and to more fully control the union. She can control the speed, depth and angle of penetration, minimizing any pain and maximizing her capacity for pleasure. Many men enjoy these female-dominant positions as they can see their lover, making eye contact, fondling her breasts and can feel surrender.
Number five, Full-pressed Union. In this position the female has her legs pressed against her torso with an open yoni for deep penetration and full vulva contact. She cannot move much but she can adjust the angle of penetration and lift or tilt her pelvis for greater pleasure. Her knees are bent, thighs on her own chest, and the soles of her feet press against his chest.
In Half-pressed Union, she extends one leg over his thigh. To vary the depth and angle of penetration she can move her leg up and down. This can be a very pleasurable position for both.
Packed Union position occurs when the female crosses her legs over ankles, with her thighs pressed together. This union promotes very intense thrusting and pleasure for both her and him.
ANIMALS AS PATTERNS FOR POSITIONS:
Number six, The Cow. This famous standing position mimics the mating of a cow! He stands from behind and penetration occurs while she is bent forward touching a pillow or a cushion for support. This union allows deep penetration and a feeling of surrender for her. This is a very masculine position. He also can reach down and stimulate her buttocks, breasts or her clitoris.
Number seven, The Elephant. This is another union for rear entry penetration, in which the female lies on her stomach, arching her hips in the air with her legs slightly apart. She may want to lie on a pillow for support. When his lingam is inside of her yoni, she squeezes him tightly by pressing her thighs together. Usually he rests on his elbows. This is a very intimate position, requiring trust and allowing for quite deep penetration by the male. She may feel a release of surrender.
Number eight, Union of the Crow. The Crow is one of the traditional positions from the KAMA SUTRA. The Crow is the reciprocal position for oral pleasuring of both partners simultaneously—mouth and tongue on both the lingam and the yoni at the same time. This union allows you to focus on the act of giving to your partner with lingual love, then focus on the receiving of your partner’s lingual love. You may want to take turns in stimulating your lover, allowing the sensations to wash over you with each wave of pleasure. If you can, become aware of giving and receiving at the same time. In this union, let your focus be on the flow of sexual energy between your two bodies. This is a very intense and intimate union.
ADVANCED POSITIONS:
Number nine, Pair of Tongs. In this union the female is on top of the male, she can be seated while he is lying down with his legs extended. His lingam is in her yoni while she does the PC exercise squeeze. She can move her hips to vary sensations and she is in control. This is a good position for deep penetration and lasting union.
Number ten, Turning Union. These unions allow the couple to turn over while his lingam is in her yoni. They can be very thrilling and may require greater skill than most.
Number eleven, Lotus-like Union. In this complicated position she is lying in a full lotus-like spread, with her legs crossed in a yogic lotus posture, raising her thighs to touch her breasts. The male enters her from a kneeling or lying position. This is one crazy and difficult union for a really different spin.
Number twelve, Union Like a Crab. Similar to the lotus union, she is on her back with her legs contracted to touch her own stomach or abdomen while he kneels to penetrate her. This requires great agility and can be very sensuous for both.
Number thirteen, Standing Positions. Supported Standing Union: Standing positions are exciting. They are quite advanced. Supported union requires that the male stands as the anchor for the weight of the two of them by leaning against a pole, a wall, or another stable surface. The female is embraced by him, facing him with her arms around his neck. This takes strength by the male to support both of their weight. This is a favorite position for very exciting penetration, giving a chance for a tryst in nature, while learning against a tree or rocks.
Standing Positions, Suspended Union: This is an advanced position, which is done with the female resting against his back from behind and he turns to penetrate her from the side. Their weight is supported by each other’s bodies. This union is only for the very strong, flexible and supple.
Number fourteen, Seated Positions. Seated on a Chair Facing Each Other; they both sit or he kneels facing her.
Seated Facing Away; she sits on top of his lap facing away from him. These positions are very intimate and take a lot of trust to conduct. They allow deep penetration of her yoni, and may require him to be very muscular to support her body weight and to move her up and down. Seated positions usually don’t last as long as other unions, as they are more athletic to sustain movement with penetration. They do though, add a flavor of excitement and play.
Number fifteen, Kneeling Positions. Kneeling Variation 1; In classic doggy style, she is on her knees with her hands extended in front to lean on and he kneels behind her, holding her hips.
Kneeling Variation 2; In another variation, he and she are kneeling, he from behind, with his knees pressed into hers, holding her around the waist. These positions offer deepest penetration, permitting an optimal angle of penetration for orgasm. These positions are good for the male to be able to nibble the back of her neck, fondle her breasts and whisper in her ears. She can use her own hands to reach back and caress his waist or buttocks. She also can self-stimulate her own clitoris. He too can stimulate her clitoris with his fingers as he thrusts.
