However, countless women aren't fond of it, and some even feel guilty for not finding it exciting or enjoyable. So, let's look into why the 69 is considered "sexy", as well as why so many women aren't keen. We'll also suggest some alternatives for those who'd like to try other more comfortable and stimulating positions. If you've ever pondered whether it's normal to dislike the 69 position, worry not – you're not alone, and we’re here to help!
What is the 69 position?
The 69 position is a sexual act in which both partners simultaneously stimulate each other orally, performing cunnilingus and/or a blowjob. The participants are positioned head-to-toe, one on top of the other, allowing for simultaneous stimulation. This position can be enjoyed by people of all genders and sexual orientations.
It's worth noting that the 69 isn't strictly considered a "sex position" due to the absence of penetration. However, it can be highly stimulating for both parties and offer a unique sexual experience.
In the Kama Sutra, this position is described as the "congress of the crow", a poetic reference to the position of birds when they mate.
Why is the 69ing considered sexy?
The 69 position is often seen as incredibly sexy in the collective imagination. But why do so many people want to try out this position?
First, 69ing offers simultaneous stimulation for both partners, which can be incredibly exciting. The act of giving and receiving pleasure at the same time can create an intense connection between partners.
Plus, the 69 position is often considered taboo, which can add an exciting dimension to the practice. Stepping off the beaten path and exploring new positions can be highly stimulating for some couples.
Lastly, 69ing allows for the use of hands to stimulate other parts of the body simultaneously. Partners can use their hands or sex toys to stimulate each other's erogenous zones, increasing the pleasure experienced.
However, it's crucial to remember that the 69 position isn't for everyone, and it's completely normal not to enjoy it. Each person has their own sexual preferences, and it's important to respect those of your partner.
Why do some women dislike the 69 position?
Despite being considered incredibly sexy, many women don't enjoy the 69 position, or even hate it. If you're one of these women, rest assured that you're not alone and it's completely normal not to like this position.
Firstly, 69ing can be uncomfortable for some women. Finding the right position where both partners are comfortable can be tricky, making the experience unpleasant.
Plus, the 69 position doesn't allow for complete focus on one's own pleasure. While performing a blowjob and receiving pleasure simultaneously can be exciting, it can also be stressful for some women. The need to please their partner while also receiving pleasure can be challenging to manage.
Finally, some women may feel that they're not doing a good job when practising the 69. The inability to focus entirely on the task at hand can cause anxiety and stress, negatively impacting the sexual experience.
What are sexy alternatives to the 69 position?
If you're not a fan of the 69 position, don't worry, there are plenty of other alternatives to explore pleasure together. Here are some ideas for sexual practices to try:
You can take turns giving and receiving oral sex, performing fellatio and cunnilingus in turn. This allows each partner to focus on their own pleasure while also giving pleasure to the other.
You can also try mutual manual masturbation. This practice allows for simultaneous stimulation of both partners and is easier to perform than the 69 position. Plus, it allows for exploring different erogenous zones.
If you want to spice things up, you can also use a sex swing. This accessory allows for varying positions and angles of penetration while being more comfortable than the 69 position.
Finally, you can try a modified 69 session using sex toys. For example, one partner can perform oral sex on the other while the latter uses a vibrator to stimulate their partner. This practice allows for varying pleasures and focusing on one's own pleasure while also giving pleasure to the other.
Feel free to explore these alternatives and communicate with your partner about your sexual preferences. The most important thing is to find practices that give you pleasure and strengthen your connection with your partner.
Ultimately, the most important thing in a sexual relationship is that both partners feel comfortable and fulfilled. If you don't like the 69 position, don't feel obligated to do it. There are many other sexual practices to explore, and it's important to communicate with your partner about your preferences and limits.
