The Benefits of 69-ing
What is 69?
69-ing simply entails performing oral sex on someone while they perform oral sex on you simultaneously. The term comes originally from the French soixante-neuf (literally meaning "sixty-nine") and has been used for a few hundred years. In the Kama Sutra, it has the name "the congress of a crow."
While the position can be off-putting for some, mainly because it's difficult to perform oral sex while focusing on receiving it, there are many ways it can play into people's sexual menu.
Most notably, the 69 position is all about mutual masturbation, allowing both partners to enjoy receiving and giving pleasure simultaneously. Not only does this allow you to explore some teasing and edging (getting to the edge of orgasm and then pulling back), but it also provides an opportunity to be more responsive to each other. 69-ing takes a lot of effort, focus, and little space for zoning out or not paying attention. This means you'll know exactly when your partner is enjoying what they are receiving, as that tends to reflect in how they give back to you. The 69 position is a great way to mix things up and can be adopted by all couples regardless of gender.
Another great reason to explore 69 is if you both enjoy or prefer oral sex over penetration. Most Vulva owners need clitoral stimulation to reach climax, so this position is excellent for those who need extra stimulation or if penetration is not an option. Also, if you are noticing an imbalance in the amount of oral sex you are giving or receiving, then this position ensures no one is left out.
Do you get off on your partner getting off? Then this position is the perfect act for you. The noises of your partner's pleasure can act as extra stimuli for your arousal and pleasure. The satisfaction of making your partner feel good can bring on a whole load of feel-good thoughts and feelings, making you even more turned on. It's a win-win all round!
Another excellent reason for exploring 69 is for those who enjoy the act of facesitting. Facesitting is usually associated with BDSM and is more popular than you might think. It is a very intimate and sensory-heavy position as it includes close skin-to-skin contact, the feeling of someone else's weight and a heightened sense of smell and breathing. If your partner loves a bit of facesitting, don't be afraid to explore this fully, but always remember to check in; we don't want any accidents or horror stories.
Lastly, it's an excellent opportunity to enjoy the view. Allowing someone to explore your genitals whilst engaging in the odd eye-to-eye contact can be uncomfortable for some. With 69-ing, you don't have to worry about catching an awkward glance. You can sit back and enjoy exploring each other's bodies without distractions.
Ways to enjoy 69
One standing, one laying down
This 69 position is great for those who dislike being on their knees for too long. One person lays on the bed with their head close to the edge while the other stands and leans over, lying on top.
Threesome 69
The 69 but with an extra participant. All three will form a triangle and proceed to the classic 69 positions.
When height differences are an issue
Try the lazy 69 when height is an issue. This involves lying on your sides facing each other. This way, you can angle yourself better to reach without the discomfort of stretching.
Toys, not tongues
If you are both super tired or not up for using your mouth or hands, then why not use each other's favourite toys on each other? Also, introducing a butt plug into the equation can help stimulate those extra nerve endings.
I recommend starting with something small like the Rock off Bubbles Petite Plus .
Invest in a sex pillow
69-ing can be an uncomfortable position to maintain, especially for the person lying down and their neck. Investing in a neck pillow can help elevate yourself closer to your partner's genitals.
