Basic Raised Kneeling Sex Position:

This variation on a sitting sex position has one partner sitting in the others lap. The partner doing the penetration is kneeling, either with their legs tucked in or, as shown in this picture, with their calves splayed out a bit. The partner being penetrated sits on the partner doing the penetration, with their legs wrapped around their partner and arms usually on their partners shoulders.

Variations on the Raised Kneeling Sex Position:

You can easily turn this into a sitting position by having the kneeling partner straighten out their legs.

There are a lot of physical variations that can be achieved by the two partners holding on to each others arms and stretching back, away from each other.

You can change the way this position feels and the movement you can get by having each partner play with their own control of movement. The partner on top can move things by using their feet to move up and down, where the partner kneeling can raise and lower their legs from the kneeling position.

Benefits and Drawbacks:

  • This position allows for a unique rocking stimulation and a lot of physical closeness. But the partner on the bottom needs to have strong knees and flexible legs.
  • The partner on top has a lot of control but can allow much of their body to be supported by the partner on the bottom, making this a good position for someone living with fatigue who still wants to have control during intercourse.
