Blindfolded Butterfly

This week, we’re exploring a classic sex position with an exciting twist for the senses! The butterfly position is easy to perform and enjoyable for all kinds of couples, no matter your gender or physical ability.

Start by ensuring both partners are fully aroused and ready to dive in. The person being penetrated lies on their back on a comfy surface like a bed, couch, or table, ideally at a height where both partners’ genitals line up. You can get creative with other furniture pieces like an ottoman or sex pillow if you like! The penetrating partner can then either kneel on or stand against the edge of the surface (depending on what offers the best pelvic alignment), looking down at the sight of their partner’s body splayed out before them. The bottom partner’s hips and pelvis can be flat or slightly lifted for even deeper penetration. For added spice, if the top partner is able to, they can place their hands under the other person’s hips to lift them and provide support from beneath for that ultra-deep penetration!

The receiving partner then lifts their legs up, resting against their partner's chest or out to the side of their shoulders to enjoy a different penetrative feeling. They can either bend their legs and hook the inside of the knee over their partner’s shoulders or extend their legs so their ankles are resting on the other person’s shoulders instead.

Now that we know how to get into the position, the twist here is to take away one of the senses with a blindfold to heighten the other senses and increase the intensity of play with deepened trust and bonding! The top partner can sensually blindfold their lover with a soft eye mask, giving them more control while the base partner surrenders and enjoys all the physical sensations. Adding sensation play toys like a feather tickler or mini flogger (which needs to be soft and lightweight due to the close proximity of your bodies) can be a great addition to enhance this simple and accessible shape even further for more fun! To really dial up the stimulation, Sexyland are big fans of the Sex & Mischief® Sensory Metal Fingertips, which either partner can wear to gently stroke the blindfolded person to send a thrill through them with every touch…
