Do women really like the whole ankles by the ears thing? I consider myself a learned lover and I make an effort to expand my knowledge base whenever possible, but frankly, I’m not a big fan of tossing a woman’s ankles over my shoulders and I can’t imagine it’s a preferred position for women. It’s nice, sure, but I personally think there are so many other, better ones.
I don’t have any intention of making this a “tell me your favorite position” thread, I am simply questioning this one particular one. It is one of the only positions that a woman I was with just sort of went to on her own, yet of the women I’ve been with, those that did this only account for two of them. I blame this on porn-star-wanna-be, unimaginative lovers in the womens past. BTW and FWIW, those two women both had a much better reaction to just about every other position we tried.
I know that certainly there are probably a few women who cherish this position and would like nothing better than to be “put in the buck” whenever possible, but I doubt it’s a majority or even a large minority.
I don’t know about the rest of the female population but I’m pretty sure I’d be too uncomfortable to really think about anything else while in that position.
Personally, I find that position very painful. Even with plenty of lube, it tears me at the bottom of the opening. Sort of like an episiotomy with no anesthetic. Ouchie.
I don’t know personally…but…I think if someone tried that with me, I’d end up with broken legs.
I can’t do a split to save my life and I can’t lean forward to touch my toes without bending my knees.
I’ve tried it (her legs over my shoulders), and it just seems to uncomfortable for me, and as it turned out, for the 2 or 3 different women who I tried it with, too. It was a sort of mutual “Let’s try it like this” decision.
For me, it got to be a little too much downward pressure on my shoulders, creating a sort of fighting-against-momentum scenario. For whoever the girl was, it wound up causing discomfort in her lower back.
I’m a firm believer in talking with your partner about what you each like and dislike - hey, why waste time with unnecessary maneuvers? I’ve found that most women (that I’ve been with, anyway) don’t like that position for the same reason - it’s really not that comfortable. Like you mentioned, though, I’m sure there are plenty of women who do enjoy it. (I’m thinking gymnasts, how 'bout you?)
I was with a (and I use the word loosely) man once who seemed to think this was a great position :rolleyes:. I think it was because he watched too much porn, but hey, I try to be a generous lover so I’m more than willing to go through a few sexual aerobics as long as I’m not in any physical pain as a result.
This position does nothing for me, pleasure-wise, is hard on the back, and, as Dolores mentioned above, if he’s not careful, it can lead to some uncomfortable tearing. It’s not one I would ever suggest for myself, but wouldn’t kick someone out of bed if had it in his mind that he wanted to try it either.
“It’s a position in sex that’s done by the masters, it aint the 69 or what you learned in class kid. It increases the intesinty of a fuck, legs up high known as the buck.”
In other words, it makes it tighter. It’s good for ‘big’ women or ‘little’ men.
