Sex Position of the Week: Cliff Hanger

Welcome back to another week in sex positioning bought to you by Glamerotica101.com! This week's position is a variation of the missionary style and requires the use of the edge of a bed, love seat, couch or even a recliner chair. As long as the piece of furniture can sustain the weight of two adult individuals, it can be used. The "Cliff Hanger" is lots of fun to get into and to remain it, but it does require a bit of core strength on behalf of the female partner.

How to get into position

1. The male partner sits a few inches back from the edge of the furniture of choice with his feet placed flat on the ground and knees bent at a 90 degree angle/legs spread apart
2. The female partner then straddles her partner by sitting on his lap facing him
3. Once in the straddled position, both partners grab hands and the female partner positions herself at an angle where she leans back slightly and places her bottom at the edge of the furniture of choice. This angle makes penetration possible. Her heels should be used to support her leverage and the male partner will support her weight by holding her hands and having her legs rested on top of his.
