Ebb and FlowSex Position
Back-to-back side lying.
Ebb and Flow is a relaxed, back-to-back side-lying position, where partners lie on their sides with their backs together and hips connected, moving gently like the tide. It is a very low-effort, closely-held position focused on slow, gentle movement.
📋 How to do it
- 1Lie on your sides with your backs toward each other, pillows under your heads.
- 2Slide your hips together until the position feels comfortable and stable.
- 3Use a pillow between the knees to keep your hips aligned.
- 4Move in small, slow, wave-like motions, adjusting together.
✨ Tips for comfort & connection
Back-to-back contact feels very different from face-to-face, so go slowly and talk about what feels good. A pillow under the head and between the knees helps comfort. It suits calm, gentle moments rather than speed.
⚠️ Safety & comfort
Avoid twisting your spine to keep the angle, and make sure your underneath arm is comfortable. If anything feels awkward, change the angle or position.
💡 Tips
Rhythmic movement.
