How does "69" work?
Q. I've always heard about “69” but have never tried it. Any
tips for doing it right? How does it work?
There are actually three main variations of the “69”
position. For the first, you and your partner are lying on your sides, facing
each other with your heads in between each other’s legs. The second involves
you lying on your back with your partner on top of you -- again with your heads
in between each other's legs. The third is similar to the second, but your
partner is on their back and you’re on top of them.
Here are a few tips to get you going:
First and foremost, you and your partner must feel
comfortable enough during foreplay to move into a variation of 69. Start by
kissing and touching each other's bodies before one of you suggests moving slowly
into a 69 position. I say “slowly” since it's easy to end up with a knee in the
face if you aren’t careful!
It's important to understand that you might have to take
turns. Depending on body shape, height, weight, etc., a couple may not be able
to physically give each other oral pleasure at exactly the same time. If you do
need to take turns, then enjoy it! The one who’s receiving oral sex can just
relax with their head between their partner's knees or to the side of their
partner's legs. Once that partner is satisfied, they can start giving oral
pleasure while the other partner relaxes.
The final (and most important) tip is to take your time
while you give or receive oral sex while in a 69 position. This isn’t meant to
be a bit of quick pleasure; it’s supposed to be a sensual experience. As you
give your partner oral sex, ask what feels good -- you can get slightly
different sensations as you adjust positions.
