The 69 Position: A Guide to Mutual Oral Pleasure
PurePorn•5/8/2025

Ready to elevate your oral sex game? The '69' position, where partners pleasure each other orally simultaneously, offers a unique dynamic of mutual giving and receiving. It can be incredibly hot but sometimes tricky to navigate comfortably. Let's explore the angles of sixty-nine. ♋️ взаимно
The Basic 69:
- Setup: Partners position themselves head-to-genitals, mutually performing oral sex (fellatio and cunnilingus/anilingus) at the same time.
- Common Arrangements:
- Side-Lying: Partners lie on their sides facing each other, one slightly higher or lower to align mouths and genitals comfortably.
- Partner-on-Top: One partner lies on their back, the other lies on top, facing the opposite direction.
- Standing/Sitting Variation: One partner sits or stands while the other kneels.
- Benefits: Mutual pleasure; intense stimulation; satisfies both partners simultaneously; can feel cooperative and playful.
Challenges & Solutions:
- Comfort & Positioning: Finding a position where both partners have comfortable access without straining necks or bodies is key.
- Solution: Experiment! Side-lying is often the most sustainable. Use pillows strategically for head/neck support or to adjust height differences.
- Distraction: Focusing on giving pleasure while simultaneously receiving intense pleasure can be difficult. One partner might 'zone out' on receiving and neglect giving, or vice-versa.
- Solution: Communicate! Check in. Or, take turns focusing – spend a few minutes where one partner primarily gives while the other receives intensely, then switch focus.
- Height Differences: Can make alignment tricky.
- Solution: Pillows are your friend! Use them to elevate hips or heads as needed. The partner-on-top variation might work better if height difference is significant.
- Movement Restriction: Depending on the position, movement might be limited compared to solo oral sex.
- Solution: Focus on skillful mouth/tongue technique rather than large body movements. Incorporate hands where possible.
- Simultaneous Orgasm Difficulty: While the goal isn't necessarily simultaneous orgasm, reaching climax while also performing oral sex can be challenging due to focus split.
- Solution: Don't pressure it. Enjoy the mutual stimulation. If one partner is getting close, perhaps pause giving slightly to focus on receiving, or communicate for them to focus on you.
Tips for Great 69:
- Communication: Essential for positioning, pressure, speed, and focus. "A little higher?" "Faster?" "Focus on receiving for a minute?"
- Use Your Hands: Don't rely solely on mouths! Use free hands to caress, stroke, stimulate balls, clitoris, or other body parts.
- Vary Techniques: Employ all your best oral sex skills – licking, sucking, teasing, varying pressure and speed.
- Hygiene: Basic cleanliness makes the experience more enjoyable for everyone.
- Relax & Have Fun: Don't get too caught up in 'performing' perfectly. Enjoy the shared intimacy and playfulness.
- Consider Alternatives: If simultaneous isn't working, try taking turns ('I go down on you, then you go down on me') for more focused pleasure.
The 69 position offers the unique intimacy of simultaneous oral pleasure. While it requires some negotiation for comfort and focus, open communication and a playful attitude can make it an incredibly hot and satisfying experience for both partners. Enjoy the reciprocity! 😉
