Position

Seated

Also known as sittinglap sittingchairlotus

Seated positions have one partner sitting — on a chair, edge of the bed, or the floor — with the other on their lap, wrapping the pair into close, face-to-face contact.

The gist

One partner sits on a stable surface and the other settles onto their lap, chest to chest. It's intimate and grounded, keeps faces close for kissing and eye contact, and lets both partners share the rhythm. A chair, the edge of the bed, or a cross-legged seat on the floor all work.

Step by step

  1. One partner sits on a stable chair, bed edge, or the floor.

  2. The other settles onto their lap, facing them, and wraps in close.

  3. Share the movement — rocking together rather than one partner doing all the work.

  4. Wrap arms around each other for balance and closeness.

Tips

  • A stable surface matters — pick a sturdy chair or the firm edge of the bed.
  • Because you share the movement, it's a naturally collaborative, connected position.
