Step-by-Step Guide
The penetrating partner sits on a sturdy surface (bed edge, floor with back support) in a comfortable seated position. The receiving partner sits on their lap facing them, legs intertwined with the penetrating partner's legs in a cross-legged configuration.
Both partners wrap their arms around each other, creating full body contact from chest to knees. The intertwined legs lock the bodies together, preventing separation during movement.
Maintain deep, unbroken eye contact — this is the "amazing meeting" of eyes, souls, and bodies. The face-to-face seated position puts faces inches apart, making eye contact effortless and intimate.
Rock together gently in a slow, synchronized rhythm — barely perceptible hip movements. The movement is secondary to the connection; the rocking maintains the physical link while the eyes do the connecting.
Breathe together in sync — inhale together, exhale together. The synchronized breathing creates a shared rhythm that deepens the emotional connection beyond what physical movement alone can achieve.
Speak to each other during the position — share thoughts, feelings, desires. The Amazing Meeting is about verbal and emotional intimacy as much as physical connection. The words are part of the meeting.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even with the right technique, small errors can reduce pleasure or increase injury risk. Here are the most common mistakes couples make with the Amazing Meeting position:
Breaking eye contact during the position
The Amazing Meeting is defined by the eye contact — it's the "meeting" in the name. Looking away, closing eyes, or staring at the ceiling breaks the connection that makes this position special. Keep the gaze steady.
Trying to make it physically intense
The Amazing Meeting prioritizes emotional connection over physical intensity. The seated, intertwined position naturally limits movement range and depth. Trying to override this for intensity fights the design.
Not intertwining the legs
The intertwined legs lock the bodies together and prevent separation during movement. Without the leg interlock, the bodies drift apart and the position loses its connected quality.
Forgetting the verbal element
The Amazing Meeting includes verbal intimacy — sharing feelings, desires, and thoughts. Without the verbal exchange, this becomes just another seated position. The words complete the "meeting."
Variations to Try
Once you've mastered the basic Amazing Meeting, these variations can add new sensations and keep things exciting:
Add a Pillow
Place a pillow under the receiving partner's hips to change the angle of penetration and enhance stimulation.
Incorporate Manual Stimulation
Use hands to add clitoral or other external stimulation during the position for enhanced pleasure.
Slow Down the Pace
Switch from thrusting to grinding for a more intimate, sensation-focused experience.
Try Different Surfaces
Move from the bed to a couch, standing, or against a wall for different angles and experiences.
