The Table Top
Also known as counterdeskraised surfacekitchen counter
The Table Top has the receiving partner sit or lie back on a hip-height surface — a table, desk, or counter — while the other stands, using furniture to solve height and angle.
The gist
When the bed's angle isn't right, furniture can be: a sturdy hip-height surface lets the receiving partner sit or recline at exactly the standing partner's level, no straining required. It's spontaneous, ergonomic, and turns an ordinary room into a change of scene.
Step by step
The receiving partner sits or lies back on a stable, hip-height surface.
The other stands close, meeting the height.
Support the receiving partner's legs on shoulders, around the waist, or on the surface.
Add a folded towel under them for cushioning and grip.
Tips
- Test that the surface is solid and won't slide before putting weight on it.
- A towel or blanket adds comfort and keeps things from getting slippery.
