Position of the Week: Silent Vibe
by Katie
on 8 Nov 2024
Living in a house-share? Still at home with the folks? Or, just enjoy the silence? Whatever your circumstances or desires, this combo of the Silent Vibe position and the whisper-quiet tech of the Womanizer Vibe means the only one likely to be making a noise... is you.
How?
This seated position is simple but effective. Lean back against your chair, or with one arm behind you for support. With a splash of water-based lube and Womanizer Vibe against your clitoris, you can hump, grind, pulsate and rub up against to your heart's content.
The Womanizer Vibe is shaped with different edges and angles so that you can play around with what feels good to you – whether that’s a curved soft edge, or something harder and more rigid.
And, if you don’t have a clitoris, you can still enjoy silent satisfaction. Try stroking a silent vibrator from your perineum (the small space between your butthole and your genitals) to your frenulum (the tiny stetch of skin connecting the head of your penis to the shaft).
Or look out for toys like the Arcwave Ion, which uses smart silence technology, so the toy falls silent as soon as it’s not touching your skin.
Why?
Seated positions are a great way to explore our oh-so-sensitive body parts. You can play with pressure by squeezing your thighs together or thrusting up against your toy with open legs to expose the nerve endings to that blissful vibration.
What’s more, you can take this position anywhere. So, if you’re vay-caying with friends and need a little private time, or have 10 minutes between video calls that you can put to good use, this sit-down position will have your legs trembling.
Try
You could try sitting in front of a mirror to watch the magic unfold before your eyes (hot!) Or, if full frontal nudity doesn’t do it for you, slip into a crotchless lingerie, like this red lacy set.
The Silent Vibe can be a partnered position too. Leave the door open and let your partner peep at you from another room. That’ll really turn up the heat for you and them.
But! If you’re worried about those little yelps of pleasure escaping you and want to keep things on the DL, why not shush-up by wearing this sweet Bondage Boutique Heart Ball Gag? We won't tell!
Make it even easier
If you find it hard to reach your vulva and clitoris, invite your partner to hold the vibrator in place for you while you grind up against it. Keep eye contact for deep intimacy and hard kissing for a passionate love-making moment.
If you prefer to ride solo, try sitting on the Womanizer Vibe and slowly rub over the different angles of the toy. Make it even more comfortable with support cushions for your back or sitting somewhere soft and supportive like the couch.
Make it even better
Take things further by introducing orgasm gel that tingles the skin and has a silk-like texture to help you glide up and down the edges of your toy.
Alternatively, you could make your seating arrangements more interesting by using a bondage chair with your partner beneath you. These chairs are pretty versatile, and are great for oral sex or penetrative sex.
But if you want to keep things solo, why not lean back or recline a little further and introduce temperature play with a glass dildo instead? They don’t vibrate, so they’re totally silent, but the smooth, hard texture does feel pretty amazing!
Enhance this position
Not the position for you?
We're working to make sure that everyone is represented on our website, regardless of who you love, so we'll be using a variety of gender depictions in our Position of the Week posts. This will include straight, gay, lesbian, and gender neutral couples, but all positions will have details in the description of how to make them work for your own relationship dynamic.
