Position: The Curving Knot

On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 is horrible and 10 is sexual nirvana):

IÕd give it a 5, because while I wouldnÕt call it a great position, it was quite entertaining and "therapeutic" to try to negotiate.

Difficulty of getting into position:

If youÕve spent the last five years predominantly in either standing, lying or seated positions, you will probably have difficulties getting into this one. But on a positive note: It is really just the legs, arms and entire portion of your upper torso that get in the way of execution by any major significance!

How long did you last in the position?

Why, I almost lasted all the way to the emergency room, but my partnerÕs legs, arms and torso once again got in the way of proper (driving) execution. OK, OK, truth be told É I never even got started. My mind was on other things, like how I was going to get out of the position!

Enjoyment once you were both in position, for the woman:

It was good for a few laughs.

Enjoyment once you were both in position, for the man:

Ditto.

Short Answers:

Was it relaxing?

Man: NoÉ

Woman: NO!

Did you feel like a pretzel?

Felt more like a two-headed puppet being worked by a 5-foot corkscrew in our rear! In other words, very little room for any motions other than bobbling and sliding back and forth.

Would this be considered an intimate position? Why or why not?

I would most definitely call it an intimate position. You have to coordinate and work with each other's "private utensils" in order to get yourselves safely into position. It is an intimate exercise of working together as a team with the common goal of sexual satisfaction.

Are you aching or sore?

Man: No.

Woman: My rear end had a little rug burn on it.

What did it feel like? (50 words or less):

It felt to me like really good foreplay. It was rather visually appealing to see your partner sprawled out in such a vulnerable and exposed position, but frustrating to not be in any position (literally) to do that much about it. Hence the word "foreplay" rather than "sex-play."

Did she reach orgasm?

No

Did he reach orgasm?

No

Did it take longer than usual to reach orgasm?

N/A

Would you do this position again?

Looking back over the adventure, I definitely wood (pun intended) be game for a second try! I think with a little practice and creativity this could become a rather mutually agreeable position, mostly because it equally involves both parties during execution, which is a very rare situation to find É in any book!

Name of Kama Sutra Position: The Wheel

On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate position (1 as horrible, 10 as sexual nirvana)?
I would give it an 8, while my partner gave it a 3 É

Did you have difficulty getting into the position? 
Heck no!

Did you feel like a pretzel?  Were you able to do the motions once in position? 
The beginning position is actually quite comfortable. It starts off in the typical "cowgirl," but then turns into an "Exorcist-meets-Alien" kind of motion, as the woman attempts to spin around in a circle while also maintaining a healthy genital-to-genital connection.

Any recommendations on getting either in or out of this position? 
Quite simple to do!

How long did you last in the position?
We lasted about 10 minutes, but only because my partner was too tired to continue her "rounds."

Enjoyment once you were in position (for the woman): 
She didnÕt enjoy it so much. She said it was more like working out than making love. She was also afraid of kicking me in the head.

Enjoyment once you were in position (for the man):
I must say that I did rather enjoy it!

Was the position comfortable? Were you able to relax?
Man: Absolutely! With a bowl of popcorn and a warm bag of gummy bears, I could have watched the show all day!
Woman: ThatÕs a "no" on the first question É and a "HECK NO" on the second!

Would you consider this to be an intimate position (why or why not)? 
No, it seemed as if we were both in our own world of thoughts. I was admiring the view and trying to keep a straight face at her difficulties, while she was busy coordinating her body to rotate, gyrate and stimulate Ñ all without beheading her mate!

Are you achy or sore after the fact?
Man: No
Woman: Her legs were burning a little the next day.

What did the position feel like (both mentally and physically) in 50 words or less? 
It was like making love in a new position every second Ñ the beautiful scenery of her body was constantly rotating and changing. I would also say that it was like having a giant metronome passing over my head, bringing with it a small, yet exhilarating element of danger.

Did she reach orgasm? 
No

Did he reach orgasm? 
Close É very close

Did it take longer than usual to reach orgasm? 
N/A

Would you do this position again (why or why not)? 
Yes, I would. In fact, I have already begun washing the dishes and cleaning the bathrooms in hopes of gaining her favor to give it another try.

Any suggestions to make the position more pleasurable? 
Well, the guy has it made on this one. It is the woman who may want to train for several months in preparation of the endurance necessary to make a real go of it!

Fiona Zedde

Fiona Zedde�s got a knack for making folks horny. February 2005, Zedde, a former employee of Charis Books

in Atlanta, made Creative Loafing readers drool when she was

featured on our annual Lust List of sexy service industry workers. And

in August, the Jamaican-born, Atlanta-based author got the literary

world all hot-and-bothered with the release of her debut lesbian

erotica novel, Bliss and her recently released book A Taste of Sin.

What is your process for writing erotica?

Usually what happens for me is I envision a scene, or a scene comes to

me and then I kind of build a larger story around that. Like if I hear

something on the radio and I�m like, �That sounds interesting and

freaky,� then I�ll try to build something from that point. I�m trying

to be more disciplined in doing outlines and character sketches. It�s

been somewhat helpful, but, truthfully, I rarely do outlines.

So, how do you know when a story you�re writing is particularly hot?

When I feel it! When I�m getting all tingly, I know it�s good!

Sometimes I use my friends as a test audience. But, really, if I�m

writing it and I think, �This is really good stuff,� then I know it�s

great.

Did appearing on our Lust List change your life?

Um ... no. It brought some publicity to the bookstore I used to work

at, Charis Books, which is great. My book is selling there, too, and

the book in turn supports Charis. So it�s a nice little link.
