Body adjustments
Cushion the knees: a folded duvet or yoga mat under both knees prevents pressure pain after just a few minutes.
Hip-over-knee stack: the kneeling partner should keep hips directly above the knees, not sat back on the heels, to drive movement from the glutes — not the quads.
Pelvic floor engaged 20%: a light lift of the pelvic floor stabilizes the spine and intensifies sensation for both partners.
Toes tucked or untucked: tucked toes give push-off power; untucked toes give a softer, longer hold — choose by what your ankles prefer today.
Hands placement: hands at the partner's hipbones (the bony front ridge) give honest control of pace without gripping skin.
Partner cues
Receiver
Brace your core lightly so your pelvis doesn't tip in passive response — active reception feels different from limp.
Use your hands on your partner's chest or jaw to steer pace without speaking.
If your knees ache, drop one shin flat to the floor and trade legs every minute.
Giver
Hinge from the hips, not the lower back; spine stays long the whole time.
Drive from the glutes — squeeze them gently at the top of each motion for control.
Sit briefly back onto your heels every minute to release the quads, then resume.
Props & setup
A folded duvet or yoga mat under both knees.
A bolster behind the kneeling partner's heels.
Optional: a low ottoman to sit back on between movements.
Safety & comfort
Skip if either partner has knee pain or patellar issues; substitute a seated variation.
Stop and reset if any joint reports a sharp or sudden pain — sharp pain is information, not weakness.
Empty pockets, remove jewelry, and trim nails before close contact positions.
Use lubricant generously; friction is the most common reason a position 'doesn't feel right'.
Reset every 5–10 minutes: shake out the hands, roll the shoulders, hydrate.
