Position of the Week: The Sensual Sidewinder

This a subtle, sensual position that’s easy to try whether you’re alone or with a partner. No acrobatics here, just a comfortable, feel-good time that you can keep up for as long as you like.

How?

Before you begin, rub a little orgasm balm into your clitoris, nipples, or penis and let the subtle tingles warm you up.

To slip into the Sensual Sidewinder, lie on your side. Gently squeeze your legs together to increase the pressure and friction, and rock your hips back and forth to see how it feels.

Place your hand or a toy between your legs, letting your thighs cradle it close.

From there, experiment: keep your legs still and soak up the sensations, or slowly open and close them to play with the delicious flutter of contact between your thighs and labia (or other bits, whatever you’ve got).

You can keep it all external or explore penetration if you want to go deeper. Adjust your leg angle to play with pressure and access. It’s simple and intimate; ideal for the slow burners and sultry loungers – or anyone who needs an excuse to slow things down.

Why?

The Sensual Sidewinder dials down the effort and turns up the sensation, allowing you to connect with your body, breath, and pleasure. It’s a low-effort, high-reward kind of vibe – perfect for lazy mornings or winding down after a long day.

Slow right down and savour the slow, rich sensations. Tune in to every gentle flutter, pulse, and shiver – especially around your labia (or balls) and inner thighs, which are packed with nerve endings often overlooked.

Make it even easier...

Comfort is queen, and this position can be wonderfully supportive with just a few tweaks. Bend your top knee and rest it on the bed for better balance. Use a body pillow or rolled towel behind your knees or back for stability and comfort.

If squeezing your thighs is tricky, use a soft band or scarf around your legs to create that snug, stimulating pressure. Hands-free toys or wearable vibes can make things easier, too.

The key is adjusting the position to your body – less strain, more pleasure, all while lying down like the regal beauty you are.

Make it even better...

Add a splash of lube for smooth, silky motion. Squeeze a toy between your thighs so your hands are free to roam your hips, chest, or any other erogenous zone...

A suction vibrator like We-Vibe's Melt 2 can send subtle ripples through your entire pelvic area, while deep breathing or pelvic tilting adds an extra dimension to the sensation. Melt 2 has a slim, ergonomic shape designed to slip between partners during sex – it also works wonderfully here for some thigh-clamping solo play.

For a similar, engulfing feeling – but for your penis – grab a Blowmotion Warming and Pulsing Masturbator. Breathe with the rhythm of your suction toy’s pulses; slow in, slow out, grind, sigh...

Make it even kinkier...

Enjoy this one alone for complete sensual abandon or kink it up by having your lover watch you through the bedroom door.

Give the peeping Tom control over a remote-controlled vibrator and let them play with you while you beg to orgasm.

Saucy lingerie will help you feel even more seductive. Wear it even if you’re playing solo for a little treat – and imagine the orders you’d want to hear from a dominant lover.

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.
