Intimacy is the name of the game with this week's sex position. Known as YAB YUM, this position is used in tantric practices to help couples align their energy before joining their genitals together. This position allows the genitals to make a connection through conscious breathing and hovering over each other, a way of receiving permission to play before they meet.
