For those who enjoy close quarters and intimate sex, the gift-wrapped position was created for you.
The position is based on the missionary with a simple and easy to perform twist. The woman lies on her back with the man on top of her, just as he would in missionary, the difference being that the woman wraps her legs around the waist of her gentleman. This creates a a gift-wrapped look, which gives the position its spectacular name.
The gift-wrapped position, also known more charmingly as the horny mantis, creates a experience that is both stimulating and pleasurable for both partners. After my partner and I tried this position, we never went back to the traditional missionary. The layout creates the perfect angle of penetration that will build to an extraordinary climax for both partners.
The first thing my partner noticed when we tried this position was how she could manipulate my body in order to control the depth of penetration. By pulling her legs downward against my back, she had full control over her orgasm.
That’s just the physical part of being gift-wrapped; the position creates a sense of intimacy, as I was basically hugging my partner the entire time. The close proximity helped form this connection that is often lacking in some other types of sexual activities.
This position is not designed to be a workout. Even though it is similar in structure to missionary, the female’s need to cross her legs around her partners’ waist prevents him from getting carried away. The best part is the gift-wrapped position doesn’t require any form of manual stimulation or weird body contortions, allowing both members to feel completely relaxed. The slow, rhythmic thrusting creates a gentle, yet intriguing, form of intercourse.
I strongly recommend this position to anyone that wants to try something just a little bit different in the bedroom. It isn’t difficult to master, the game plan is almost identical to missionary, and yet it creates a completely different atmosphere. Whether you’re a sex guru or just starting out, the gift-wrapped position will definitely be a good addition to your collection of sexual manoeuvres.
