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 Fantasy position:
Not discussing fantasies beforehand
The fantasy position requires both partners to be comfortable with the scenario. Not discussing boundaries and comfort levels can lead to awkwardness or distress.
Being too self-conscious
The fantasy position requires imagination and roleplay. Being too self-conscious breaks the fantasy and reduces the experience.
The fantasy being too realistic
Some fantasies are better as fantasies. If the real-life version is uncomfortable or awkward, it's okay to stop and try a different approach.
Not communicating during the fantasy
Communication is essential even during fantasy scenarios. Checking in about comfort ensures the experience remains positive.
Variations to Try
Once you've mastered the basic Fantasy, 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.
