Alright, let’s talk about giving the Flatiron position a shot. Heard about it somewhere, can’t remember where exactly, maybe online or some magazine article. Sounded simple enough, basically one person flat on their stomach, the other flat on top. Seemed like a low-effort kind of deal, maybe good for a lazy Sunday afternoon, you know?
Getting Into It
So, we decided to try it out. She went first, lying face down on the bed. Straightened out pretty flat, like the name suggests. We did grab a pillow, though. Put it under her hips, kinda tilted things up a bit. Read somewhere that helps with the angle, makes entry easier. Seemed logical.
Then it was my turn. Getting on top wasn’t exactly graceful the first time. You’re basically trying to lie flat on someone else’s back while also, well, getting things lined up down below. It’s a bit of a balancing act. Had to shift my weight around, prop myself up on my elbows for a second to get the angle right for entry. It’s definitely different from positions where you have more leverage or gravity helping you out.
How It Felt
Once we were actually connected, it was… interesting. Definitely close. Like, really close, body-to-body contact all the way down. That part was nice, felt intimate.
The sensations were different too:
- Depth: Yeah, the pillow under her hips helped. It allowed for some pretty deep penetration without too much awkward maneuvering.
- Movement: This was the tricky part. Standard thrusting felt a bit restricted. It’s more about grinding, shifting your hips side-to-side or in small circles. Took a bit to find a rhythm that worked for both of us. It’s not a position for going wild, more slow and steady.
- Effort: For me, it took some upper body strength to hold myself up slightly, even just on my forearms, so I wasn’t just crushing her. Not super strenuous, but not zero effort either. For her, she said it was mostly passive, which can be good or bad depending on what you’re looking for.
Final Thoughts
So, the Flatiron. Was it mind-blowing? Not exactly, for us anyway. It was okay. A nice change of pace. The closeness was a big plus. The grinding sensation was different, could be really good if that’s your thing. But finding a good rhythm took some fiddling.
We figured out pretty quick that communication was key here. Asking “is this okay?”, “how about this?”, “move the pillow maybe?”. Without that, it could probably get uncomfortable or just plain awkward fast.
Will we do it all the time? Probably not. It’s not going onto the regular rotation list. But it was worth trying. Good reminder that sometimes the simple-sounding things take a bit of practice to get right. Just another experience logged, you know? Always good to try stuff out for yourself instead of just reading about it.
