Collection
Choose positions by variables, not by a leaderboard
A position is not a promise about pleasure. Depth, angle, weight, balance, space, and who controls movement all change what the same setup asks of two bodies. This collection starts with those variables, then turns them into specific positions you can try, adjust, or leave behind.Start with the comfort and variable guides if you are choosing from scratch. The individual position articles are parallel options, not levels to complete.
In this collection
