Standing
Also known as uprightagainst the wallstanding up
Standing positions have one or both partners upright — often against a wall or supportive surface — for a spontaneous, energetic change of scenery.
The gist
Being upright brings a spontaneous, urgent energy and works well when a wall, counter, or door frame lends support. Height differences and balance are the main things to solve — a step, a sturdy surface, or shifting to a seated version keeps it comfortable. It's more of a short, playful interlude than a marathon.
Step by step
Find a wall or sturdy surface for support and balance.
One partner braces against it; the other supports and steadies them.
Bridge any height gap with a step, a raised leg, or a nearby surface.
Keep it playful and brief, moving to a seat if legs tire.
Tips
- Solve for height and balance first — a wall or counter for support makes all the difference.
- If legs tire, transition to a seated or lying version to keep the moment going.
