The OmSex Position
Wrapped seated embrace.
The Om, often known as Yab-Yum in tantric tradition, is a seated embrace where one partner sits and the other sits on their lap, legs wrapped around, so the bodies are held close chest to chest. It is about stillness, breathing together and deep closeness more than movement.
📋 How to do it
- 1One partner sits comfortably, cross-legged or with legs extended, on a soft surface or cushion.
- 2The other partner sits on their lap facing them and wraps their legs around the back or waist.
- 3Hold each other with arms around the back and let your foreheads or cheeks rest close.
- 4Breathe slowly together and move only in small, gentle rocks.
✨ Tips for comfort & connection
Cushions under the hips or knees make long sitting comfortable. Try matching your breathing and holding eye contact or closing your eyes together. The slower you go, the more the position shines.
⚠️ Safety & comfort
Sitting cross-legged can strain knees and hips, so use cushions and take breaks. If legs fall asleep, unwrap slowly and shift.
