Held Knees

Also called: The Tominagi

The receiving partner lies back with knees bent high and feet down, and the kneeling partner leans in holding both knees. A steadier, more upright cousin of missionary.

How to do it

The receiving partner lies on their back and draws their knees up toward their chest, keeping their feet low near the kneeling partner's thighs rather than raised in the air. The other partner kneels upright between their legs, knees wide for balance, and leans forward to cup both of the receiving partner's knees in their hands. The kneeling partner uses that grip to steady themselves and to guide the angle: pressing the knees gently toward the receiving partner's chest tilts the hips up and deepens it, easing off flattens it out. Unlike Feet to Heart, the feet stay free and down, so the receiving partner is more folded at the knee and less lifted at the hips. The receiving partner can hold the kneeling partner's wrists or forearms to stay connected.

What it's good for

A clear view of each other and an easy way for the kneeling partner to fine-tune the angle without changing position.

Make it easier

A pillow under the receiving partner's hips holds the tilt so the kneeling partner doesn't have to push on the knees much.

A small tip

Ask before pressing the knees back further. The receiving partner can say "more" or "less" and the kneeling partner adjusts right away.

Comfort and care

Deep positions can hit the cervix or press on tender spots. Start shallow, let the receiving partner set the depth, and ease off at the first wince.
