September’s Position of the Month: Voluptuous V-Sit

September’s highlighted position of the month is the Voluptuous V-Sit. With COVID variants continuing to pick up speed, please keep healthy sex practices in mind - please remain cognizant to wash your hands (and use the restroom) before and after a sexual experience! Another comfortable and sensual way to start a sexual experience is to take a shower together. A sexual experience will release oxytocin and other beneficial endorphins, which will help to increase the emotional bond between you and your partner(s), plus it’ll also release stress and tension.

May’s Position of the Month: Clutch to Climax

May’s highlighted position of the month is the Clutch to Climax.

If it helps you both to feel more comfortable, start your shared sexual experience by taking a shower together. Remember that a sexual experience will release Oxytocin and other beneficial endorphins, which will help you and your partner(s) feel bonded to one another and release stress/tension. As I always recommend, begin this experience by doing some light stretching together to help avoid injuries and/or muscle cramps that might arise during a sexual experience (FYI – muscle cramps/injuries are the most common sexual injuries).

If you and your partner have recently welcomed home a new bundle of joy, first congrats! Second, I sincerely hope the two of you are adjusting to being new parents or parents again (and I’m also sending thoughts of rest and good sleep).

I have given 2020 many names, but my latest is “a year of reflection.” We have found ways to navigate what originally seemed like impossible circumstances.
