Alright, so we’ve been trying out a few new things lately, just to keep the spark, you know? It’s easy to get into a routine, and routines can get, well, a bit too routine. So, we were on a mission to mix it up. And this ‘cross leg’ thing, it sort of just happened. Wasn’t like we read a manual or anything, more like one of those accidental discoveries while trying to get comfortable, if that makes sense.
Setting Up – The Initial Fumble
So, the idea we pieced together was pretty straightforward on paper. One person lies on their back. Okay, easy start. The other person is on top, facing them. But the ‘cross leg’ part, that’s where the fun, or the confusion, began. My partner had their legs up, and I was trying to figure out how my legs were supposed to cross with theirs. It sounds simple, but the first few attempts were, let’s be honest, a bit of a tangle. We were laughing more than anything else. Lots of ‘oops, sorry, my foot!’ and ‘is that your knee or mine?’ It definitely wasn’t one of those positions you just elegantly slide into, not for us anyway.
We realized pretty quick that just saying ‘cross your legs’ isn’t much of a guide. Whose legs? How crossed? Like a pretzel? It took some serious trial and error, and a good bit of patience.
Finding the Groove (Eventually)
After a bit of awkward shuffling and a few repositioning breaks, we started to get the hang of it. What worked for us was for my partner, the one on the bottom, to have their legs raised and slightly open. Then, I, on top, would bring my legs up and around theirs, so our legs were sort of interlaced, kind of like an X shape if you looked from the side, I guess. It wasn’t a tight cross, more like a gentle intertwining.
Communication was super important here. Lots of ‘how’s this?’ and ‘can you move a bit to the left?’ We also found a pillow under my partner’s hips helped a lot. Seriously, pillows are underrated for this kind of exploration. It just tilted things a bit and made the angle work better for both of us. It took a few tries to find that sweet spot where we were both comfortable and stable.
- Pillows for hip elevation? A game changer.
- Slow movements. Rushing this setup just leads to bumped knees.
- Talking. Constantly. ‘Is this good?’ ‘Can you hold this?’
So, What Was the Verdict?
Once we actually got into position and found a rhythm, it was… interesting. Definitely a different sensation. Because of the way our legs were, it created a really close, snug feeling. And the angle of, well, everything, was unique. It felt deeper, and for my partner, they said it hit a spot that other positions sometimes miss. So that was a big plus.
However, it wasn’t the easiest position to maintain for a long period. One of us would get a numb leg, or the balance would feel a bit precarious if we got too enthusiastic. It’s not something you can just set and forget. It requires a bit of active participation from both to keep it comfortable and effective. So, it’s not our new go-to for a marathon session, let’s put it that way.
Final Thoughts From Our Experiment
Look, the cross leg position was an adventure. We fumbled, we laughed, we adjusted, and eventually, we made it work for us, at least for a while. Is it revolutionary? Maybe not. But it’s definitely a good one to have in the playbook if you’re looking for variety and a different kind of intimacy. It scores high on closeness and can offer some unique sensations. But it also needs a bit of patience and maybe some flexibility to get into and maintain.
The biggest takeaway for us was just the act of trying something new together. Even the awkward bits were part of the fun, figuring it out as a team. So, yeah, that’s our little story with the cross leg position. Might work wonders for you, might be a ‘meh’ – that’s the beauty of these things, right? All about personal preference and what you and your partner enjoy exploring together.
