So, you see it in movies, right? This whole standing-up sex thing. Looks all intense and passionate, like they just can’t wait. Me and my partner, we got curious. We figured, why not try it? Seemed like a good way to spice things up, break the old routine. We decided to give it a proper go, document our, uh, findings, you could say.
Let me tell you, those first few attempts? Absolute chaos. We were wobbling all over the place. I nearly dropped her, she nearly kneed me somewhere very unfortunate. We laughed a lot, mostly from embarrassment, I think. It’s way harder than it looks on screen. You need some serious balance, or at least a game plan. We definitely didn’t have one to start with, just enthusiasm. Which, turns out, isn’t enough to defy gravity.
What We Actually Learned From Trying
After a few hilariously awkward sessions, we started to figure a few things out. It wasn’t rocket science, but it sure felt like we were pioneering something in our own living room.
- Find a Wall, Seriously: Forget trying this freestanding in the middle of the room unless you’re both gymnasts. A solid wall became our best mate. One person leans back, gets support, and the other can, well, do the work. We tried it without, and it was just a countdown to someone falling over.
- Height Differences: We thought this would be a big problem. I’m a bit taller, and we worried it’d be impossible. Actually, it kinda helped. The person doing the lifting or providing the main support benefits from a bit of leverage if they’re taller, or at least that’s what we found. If you’re the same height, it’s probably more about who’s got the stronger legs and core. We had to experiment with who was doing what.
- Strength is Not Optional: This isn’t a passive activity, not for standing up anyway. Someone’s gotta do some lifting or serious holding. My legs were burning after a few minutes, and my partner had to really engage her core. It’s a workout! Don’t expect to go for ages like this, at least not at first. Quick, intense – that was more our speed.
- Grip and Positioning: This was trial and error. How to hold? Where to put hands for support without them slipping? We found that the person being lifted kind of wrapping their legs around the other’s waist helped a ton. Gave stability. And the person doing the supporting needs good footing. No slippery socks on a polished floor, trust me on that one. We learned that the hard way.
- Talk to Each Other, You Dummies: Okay, maybe not “dummies,” but seriously. When you’re all tangled up and trying not to topple over, you gotta communicate. “Too high?” “Need to adjust?” “My arm is going numb!” All crucial info. We had a few moments where a simple “ouch, my hair!” could have saved some minor discomfort.
There was this one time, we actually got it right. We used the sturdy bookshelf in the study – it’s bolted to the wall, don’t worry. She leaned back against it, got a good brace, and I managed to lift her just right. It wasn’t exactly graceful, still a bit of huffing and puffing, but it worked! And yeah, the novelty and the effort made it pretty exhilarating for those few minutes. We felt like we’d conquered Everest, or at least the bedroom Olympics.
So, is it our new favorite position? Honestly, no. It’s a lot of effort for a quick thrill. Too much setup, too much thinking about not falling. But for a bit of adventurous fun? Absolutely. It was a good laugh, and we definitely learned something about teamwork, haha. If you’re gonna try it, just be patient, find some solid support (a sturdy counter-top also works wonders, by the way, good height and something to grip), and don’t expect it to be like the movies on your first, or even fifth, try. And maybe stretch first. Just saying.
