Variants

Both partners standing

In the basic standing position, both partners stand facing each other and engage in vaginal sex. In order to match heights, the shorter partner can, for instance, stand on a stair or wear high heels. It may be easier to maintain solid thrusts if the woman has her back to a wall. With such a support, the Kama Sutra calls this position the suspended congress.[1]


Alternatively, the receiving partner can face away from the penetrating partner which allows for either vaginal or anal sex. This position is varied by having the receiving partner assume different semi-standing positions. For instance, they may bend at the waist, resting their hands or elbows on a table. Or they may put both hands and one foot on the floor and let the penetrating partner hold the remaining leg.[citation needed] Roman men having anal sex. ...


One partner supporting the other

In this position, the man stands. The receving partner wraps their arms around his neck, and their legs around his waist, thereby exposing either the vagina or anus to the man's penis. This position is made easier with the use of a solid object behind the receiver, as above. Use of a solid object also helps hold the receiving partner up. In this fashion, the position is called the suspended congress in the Kama Sutra.[1] The vagina, (from Latin, literally sheath or scabbard ) is the tubular tract leading from the uterus to the exterior of the body in female placental mammals and marsupials, or to the cloaca in female birds, monotremes, and some reptiles. ...

Advantages

  • Receiver can easily thrust.
  • The lack of contact with the ground can allow both partners the advantages of free movement.
  • Spontaneous sex, even if there is no place to lie or sit.
  • Couples often find this spontaneity to be very romantic.
  • Many find this position, with the receiver clinging to the man, to be very intimate.
  • In the carrying variant, women often find the motion of the man walking to be very stimulating.

Disadvantages

  • Requires practice.
  • Can be tiring.
  • May be too difficult if the partners are of greatly unequal height.
  • May be too difficult with overweight people.
  • It is sometimes difficult to achieve motion without support.
  • Some couples consider it less romantic.
  • There is a danger of back injury for man.
  • Arms are often occupied; making manual stimulation difficult.

Romantic love is a form of love that is often regarded as different from mere needs driven by sexual desire, or lust. ...
