Imagine lying back while your partner eats your pussy or your balls. Imagine the power and deep connection that you’ll feel. The 68 sex position allows you to experience this. It’s an oral sex upgrade you didn’t know you needed. It’s focused and easy to try tonight.
Now, get ready to learn more about this position and add this to your bedroom routines.
What Is the 68 Sex Position?
It’s the position where the giver lies on their back with their knees bent, while the receiving partner lies on top of the giver, so that the former’s genitals (commonly a vulva) are placed in front of the latter’s mouth. Think 69, but both partners face upward.
However, it’s not exactly the same as 69.
It’s just that the 68 closely resembles the 69. If 69 is reciprocal, where both partners are performing oral on each other, in 68, only one partner receives oral. If the receiver has a vulva, this position can also be called the “Munch Position.”
But this doesn’t mean that the giver isn’t receiving any pleasure from it.
It really depends on the person. It’s best for those who enjoy giving their partners pleasure, or who don’t want distractions, like receiving oral, while giving pleasure themselves.
According to the study of sexual positions in the Czech population, the 68, being one-way, may appeal to those who enjoy giving pleasure without immediate reciprocation.
Why Try The 68 Sex Position Tonight?
You might want to add this to your foreplay for the following reasons:
Single-Focus
We all agree that multitasking isn’t really multitasking. It’s just that your focus shifts from one task to another. It’s the same here. If you’re the kind of partner who only wants to focus on giving pleasure to your partner without any distraction, go for the 68 sex position.
Deepens Connection
Besides the physical pleasure, the 68 sex position also builds intimacy. The eye contact and that close-up view of your partner’s goodies are just a chef’s kiss.
According to a national study on older couples, oral givers reported higher well-being because their partners felt more loved, and their relationship felt stronger overall.
Power and Control
Now, let’s talk about power dynamics. At first glance, it seems like the receiver is the only one getting all the love, but the giver is the one who’s in the driver’s seat. The giver has the power to control the rhythm, pressure, and pace.
Also, if you’re into kink, power-play, or just like to take charge without having to use ropes or a safeword, this can be one of your go-to sex positions.
How to Do the 68 Sex Position (Without Any Accidents)
The 68 position can be a little trickier than your go-to blowjob or cunnilingus setup. If you’re not careful, it’s possible to get a neck cramp or even a penile fracture. To prevent these, here are some things that you should consider:
- Use pillows or a bolster to support the neck and spine
- If the receiving partner is getting an analingus or having their balls sucked, the receiver should lift their body a little bit so that the giver can access the balls and the anus.
- Both partners should have their knees bent to maintain stability.
- If your partner has a penis, this position is chef’s kiss for analingus or teabagging. But for blowjobs? Not ideal.
4 Ways to Make the 68 Even More Mind-Blowing
The 68 sex position is already good as it is, but you can enhance it through the following.
Use Toys
Use small vibrators or wearable cock rings to increase shared pleasure. A compact vibe like
BeYourLover’s Earpod Vibrator can be placed on a vulva without any interruption. A vibrating cock, ring, such as the Abe Rose, stimulates the partner’s testicles whether they’re the giver or the receiver.
Sensory Additions
Add blindfolds, tickling feathers, or an ice cube in the play to wake up the partner’s nerve endings in all the right ways.
Switch It Up
If the giver doesn’t want to sit in the giving seat all night, you can trade places. Swapping roles keeps your bedroom routines fresh, balanced, and even.
Talk Dirty
You can go for dirty talk if your partner is into it. Or you can simply encourage your partner if they're hitting the right spot by moaning, saying “yes” or “don’t stop.”
