Even if you never felt cool enough to be on the cheer squad, we’re claiming you a spot right now! With this seated position, you don’t need to be particularly athletic or full of pep to feel the team spirit. Flippy skirt: optional. Enthusiasm: encouraged.

How?

Giver, sit somewhere comfortable and sturdy, like a sofa or large armchair. Keep your feet planted on the floor if you’re able. In this two-person cheer squad, you’re the base.

Receiver, you’re a flyer! Sit in your partner’s lap, facing them, and grip each other’s arms (you can make this easier by using a positioning strap to support your weight). Lean back slowly until you’ve got enough room to manoeuvre your legs.

Lift one leg at a time to rest on the giver’s shoulders. Now you can reach down with one hand and cheer yourself to climax.

Why?

Seated sex positions offer stability and take pressure off the spine by supporting your body weight. It can also make sex feel fresh and exciting since you’re not limited to your bed.

With Chairleaders, you’ve got the option to enjoy slow, grinding penetration or just revel in how close and exposed you are as you pleasure yourselves manually.

Leaning back and raising the legs will create a saucy view and a lot of tension; both physical and sexual. You’re also going to enjoy some intense eye contact, which will be very sexy or completely goofy depending on how well you’re able to hold the position!

Make it even easier

You wouldn’t be the only one to find this raised leg balancing act a little difficult. If the stretch is too much, keep your knees bent and place your feet by your partner’s hips instead.

Otherwise, you can take this one to the floor. The giver will need more upper body strength to lean back into their hands for support, but the angle for the receiver’s legs will be a bit more forgiving.

Make it even better

If you’ve got a vulva and you haven’t tried clitoral suction yet, respectfully, stop wasting time! Clitoral stimulation makes climax a lot easier and more satisfying for many people.

This position has just enough room for you to envelop your clit with orgasmic sucking sensations using a toy like the Womanizer Next Liberty. It’s made from easy-to-clean, body-safe materials and has a cute case so you can slip it into a weekend bag without anyone guessing what it is.

For G-spot pleasure, you’ve got the option to slather a double-ended dildo with lube. Giver, you’ll insert your end first, before your partner gets into position and starts to grind.

Make it even kinkier

This is a great moment to lean into (or discover) your nylon fantasy. With the receiver’s legs lifted high, you can both admire the look of glossy stockings encasing those feet, calves, and thighs. Pick a crotchless pair so you can still pleasure yourselves while in costume.

It’s not unusual to love the feeling of wearing nylons – or finding it a huge turn on. Lovehoney Forum users recommend shaving your legs before wearing stockings (yes boys, you too) to enhance the sensually smooth feeling on your skin.
