The Triumphal Arch

One partner sits on the bed with their legs stretched out in front of them. The receiving partner kneels astride their hips facing them, shins folded alongside the seated partner's thighs, and lowers down. Then, slowly, the receiving partner leans back until their back rests along the seated partner's legs, head toward the seated partner's feet and arms reaching back or resting at their sides. The seated partner leans forward over them, hands on their hips, belly or chest, and sets a small rocking rhythm. Leaning back only halfway, with hands planted on the bed behind, keeps most of the angle with far less stretch in the thighs.

A lovely stretch along the front of the body and an unusual angle. The seated partner has a full view and free hands for touch.

Put a firm pillow under the receiving partner's upper back so they don't have to lie all the way flat. Kneeling with knees wider apart takes pressure off the front of the thighs.

This is a rocking position, not a thrusting one. Small, steady movement from the seated partner's hips works best.

Leaning back over folded knees is hard on stiff knees, thighs and lower backs. Ease into it, and stop if anything pulls rather than stretches.
