When you engage in sex for leisure, you can approach any style that meets your imagination. But tantric sex is a bit different. Here, you engage in a sexual act as a way of spiritual awareness. You concentrate on the present situation and actions. Still, you focus on the emotional response from your sex partner, while you meditate during the act. But which poses create these feelings? Below are the five best tantric sex positions for a better sex experience.
- The Lotus position
The lotus position is arguably the most well-known tantra sex position as many depictions are available in many forms.
In all actuality, the lotus position is a basic meditation pose, so as you can see, everything can be tantra in yoga.
This is because the main core of tantra yoga is not sex nor orgasm themselves, rather the point of tantra yoga is connection and spiritual liberation.
In the lotus position, you and your partner can be very close body to body and need to look into each other’s eyes.
According to Mind Body Green, if you want to enhance intimacy and romance during your sexual experiences, the lotus position is highly recommended. This position allows for passionate kissing, full-body embraces, and uninterrupted eye contact, all of which contribute to deepening the connection and intensifying the bond with your partner.
Believe it, you will not be able to do this sex position if you are not emotionally close to the person you are with.
That intense eye-to-eye connection during love-making has to happen only if you trust each other. Maybe this sex position could help you realise if you are with the right person or not!
- Massage of the sacred spot
This one could be part of foreplay or you could incorporate it as part of your sex.
Although on the surface level you may think this is just fingering your partner or giving them a handjob, this tantra practice goes beyond that.
As with all tantra practices, sex is not just about the physical but also about how two lovers connect during love-making.
During the time you spend massaging each other’s pleasure spots, you need to be able to concentrate enough to really feel the heat from your partner’s body.
The sensual sensations that you are causing for your partner will trigger a lot of emotions and energy to be generated by their body.
With your fingers and all of your senses, you want to be able to receive the unspoken signals from your partner as they feel your touches. Needless to say, you need to go slow with this one.
- Hand on heart
This meditative position allows for deeply intimate sex between two people. Essentially, the hand-on-heart position will allow you to feel your partner’s heart and rhythm.
Your partner will also do the same for you and feel your heart and rhythm. This position begins with both people sitting in a lotus position facing each other.
Then, each person places their right hand on the other person’s chest to feel their heartbeat.
Both people look into each other’s eyes, breathe deeply and regularly, and concentrate on feeling the other person’s emotions through the vibrations of the heartbeat.
This position is considered to be highly meditative and so, at the same time highly intimate albeit not exactly erotic.
Doing this with a partner regularly before you jump into the main action will allow for a buildup of intimacy that goes beyond just words, sex, or even sensual kisses as foreplay.
- Sex with your clothes on
With this one, you and your partner can be in any position, but the main point is for the both of you to still be wearing your clothes. The main focus of this tantra practice is exploration.
So, with your clothes still on you need to explore your partner’s body using your senses and your partner does the same for you.
The goal of this practice is to develop your sensitive understanding of what your partner responds well to and you both and develop a better connection in your relationship, too.
On top of that, there is a teasing sense of mystery since you are not looking straight at your partner’s naked body, so an element of imagination is also involved here.
As per Momtastic, keeping your clothes on during sexual encounters can lead to incredible, orgasmic experiences when approached with care and compassion. The presence of clothing serves as a boundary that distinguishes between simple intercourse and the exploration of sexual arousal and play. This builds anticipation and excitement, enhancing the overall experience and potentially resulting in unforgettable pleasure.
You can continue the whole session being fully clothed, or you can progress into taking off your pieces of clothing one by one until you’re totally naked.
- The relaxed arch
The relaxed arch is a highly erotic sex position but also quite difficult to do.
To start into this position is not difficult, it is rather easy in fact, but to then acquire the most satisfaction from this position may require some getting used to.
Kilpatrick, as mentioned in a blog on Men’s Health, points out that a significant advantage of this position is its ability to align penetration in a way that greatly enhances the likelihood of stimulating the P-Spot in individuals with prostates or the G-Spot in individuals with vaginas. This positioning offers a promising opportunity for intensified pleasure and potentially heightened sexual satisfaction during intimate encounters.
Essentially, what you do here is one partner needs to be sitting up straight with their legs facing forward in a straight manner.
Then, the other partner gets on top of the other and sits on their knees, back facing their partner.
Then, the person who is sitting on their knees slides downward and arches their back mildly while resting their head or face on the other person’s legs (hands can be holding the partner’s ankles).
Perform the sex in this position slowly until you both get the hang of it and can garner the most pressure on each other’s sacred body parts.

- The Goddess pose
In yoga, the Goddess pose is a squatting exercise that strengthens your hips, thighs, core, and back. The same position is applicable in tantric sex, but with slight variation.
To perform this pose, you lay down on your back with your legs astride and bend at the knees. Your female partner lowers herself on you while squatting.
It’s similar to the cowgirl pose, with all its benefits. The lady on top is in control and determines the intensity of thrust and movement.
In this position, you can gaze at each other. You get to enjoy the complete view of your female companion atop you.
Still, your hands are free to caress and massage your partner as she does the act. Yet you can also rock to meet her movement, thus creating more powerful thrusts.
Since tantric sex emphasizes breathing and movement, this sex style allows you plenty of breathing room. It’s less strenuous, and thus can go on for long.
- The Tiger
The tiger pose resembles a tiger stretching its body after waking up. But basically, it’s a modified spooning pose.
Instead of close coupling to have body contact from the chest down to the legs, there is the spacing between your chest and the lady’s back.
Here, the lady lays on her side facing away from you. Then you settle on your side behind her facing the same direction as her.
The tiger pose is a lazy sex style that needs less effort than other poses. It’s great for slow and deep thrusts.
Yet it stretches the back muscle and spine. It also stimulates the hips and knees, while activating energy around the lady’s navel.
In yoga, this area is full of sexual energy and constantly rocking it releases this force that transcends all over the body.
Breathing is easy here due to the wide spacing that allows both your chests to inhale fully.
