Step-by-Step Guide

1

The penetrating partner sits on a sturdy chair (without armrests). The seated position provides stability for the lap-dance configuration.

Tip: Use a sturdy chair that can support both partners — test it before starting.

2

The receiving partner sits on their lap facing them, grinding in lap-dance-like motions. The circular grinding creates clitoral stimulation.

Tip: Clitoral stimulation is rated 5/5 — the grinding against the pubic bone is the core mechanism.

3

Grind in circles instead of up-and-down. The circular motion creates sustained clitoral contact and varied internal stimulation.

Tip: The G-spot is rated 3/5 — the grinding motion stimulates the anterior wall.

4

Use hands to caress each other's bodies. The face-to-face seated position makes touching natural and intimate.

Tip: The inner thighs and core power the grinding motion.

5

The receiving partner controls the pace and angle of the grinding. Use this control to optimize clitoral stimulation.

Tip: The medium penetration depth is ideal for the grinding, clitoral-focused experience.

6

Maintain eye contact and verbal connection. The lap-dance position is intimate and playful.

Tip: This is an Easy difficulty position — the seated position is comfortable and accessible.

7

Build to climax through sustained clitoral grinding. The lap-dance position is designed for clitoral orgasms during penetration.

Tip: The penetrating partner can assist by thrusting upward in coordination with the grinding.

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 Lap Dance position:

Bouncing instead of grinding

The lap-dance position works best with circular grinding that creates sustained clitoral contact. Bouncing provides inconsistent stimulation and is more tiring.

Using a chair with armrests

Armrests restrict the receiving partner's leg movement and hip rotation. Use a sturdy chair without armrests for maximum freedom of movement.

Not optimizing the clitoral angle

The grinding angle determines clitoral contact. Not adjusting the angle means missing the 5/5 clitoral stimulation this position offers.

The seated partner being passive

The penetrating partner can assist by thrusting upward in coordination with the grinding. Being completely passive misses the coordinated pleasure.

Variations to Try

Once you've mastered the basic Lap Dance, these variations can add new sensations and keep things exciting:

1

Add a Pillow

Place a pillow under the receiving partner's hips to change the angle of penetration and enhance stimulation.

2

Incorporate Manual Stimulation

Use hands to add clitoral or other external stimulation during the position for enhanced pleasure.

3

Slow Down the Pace

Switch from thrusting to grinding for a more intimate, sensation-focused experience.

4

Try Different Surfaces

Move from the bed to a couch, standing, or against a wall for different angles and experiences.
