Medically Reviewed by Dr. James Chen, Board-Certified OB/GYN

Penetration: Medium

Stimulation: G-spot

About This Position

Both partners sit facing each other while the penetrating partner rocks back and forth like a seesaw. This rhythmic motion creates a pendulum-like effect that builds pleasure gradually.

RhythmRocking motionFace to face

Clitoral Stimulation

Moderate clitoral stimulation from the grinding motion during the seesaw.

The rocking motion creates clitoral contact; hands can also be used.

G-Spot Stimulation

Moderate G-spot stimulation from the variable angle of the seesaw motion.

The rocking motion creates varied internal stimulation.

Step-by-Step Guide

Both partners sit facing each other on a comfortable surface. The face-to-face seated position creates maximum body contact and eye contact.

Tip: The core, hip flexors, and glutes support the seated posture for both partners.

The receiving partner sits on the penetrating partner's lap, legs wrapped around the waist. The variable angle of penetration changes continuously through the seesaw motion.

Tip: The G-spot is rated 3/5 — the rocking motion creates varied stimulation along the anterior wall.

Rock back and forth like a seesaw — the penetrating partner leans back while the receiving partner leans forward, then reverse. The pendulum-like motion creates rhythmic stimulation.

Tip: The clitoral stimulation (rated 3/5) comes from the grinding motion during the seesaw.

Alternate the rocking motion in a rhythmic pattern. The variable angle means each direction of the seesaw stimulates different internal zones.

Tip: The inner thighs and core create the rocking motion — sync the movement with your partner.

Sync the rocking motion together for the best rhythm. The coordination creates a harmonious, building sensation.

Tip: Use arms to control the pace and balance — hands on each other's backs or hips stabilize the rocking.

Use your arms to control the pace and balance. The hands-on-back-or-hips body contact points provide stability during the rocking.

Tip: The penetrating partner leans back to change the angle; the receiving partner leans forward to counterbalance.

Build the rhythm gradually for increasing pleasure. The seesaw motion creates a building, pendulum-like effect that intensifies over time.

Tip: This is a Hard difficulty position — the balance and coordination required are significant.

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 Seesaw position:

Not synchronizing the rocking

The seesaw effect requires both partners to rock in coordinated opposition. If both lean the same way, the motion fails. Sync the rhythm for the pendulum effect.

Rocking too aggressively

The seesaw is about rhythmic, controlled rocking. Aggressive movements can cause loss of balance or discomfort. Maintain smooth, controlled rhythm.

Losing balance

The seated, rocking position requires core engagement from both partners. Relaxing the core leads to wobbling and loss of rhythm. Keep your core engaged throughout.

Staying at one intensity level

The seesaw's advantage is the building sensation through increasing rhythm speed. Not building intensity means missing the gradual pleasure escalation this position offers.
