Our senior minister of state at the Prime Minister’s Office has pointed out a fact: you don’t need much space to have sex. That’s true. Of course, more space would suggest sex would be more comfortable, but like Chweitel Eijofor explains in the movie rendition of the play Kinky Boots, “sex shouldn’t be comfy”.
At any rate, we’ve spent the last night reading through the Karma Sutra to find the best positions for your sexy moves in small spaces. Here are our favourites.
1. The Clasp

This should be in a standing position, but some experimenters may find it possible for the guy to be in a kneeling position as well (that’s the Kneeling Wheelbarrow). The partner wraps her legs around his waist, with him supporting her bottom and back. If necessary, she can rest her back against a wall for support.
2. The Right Angle

This image is pretty self explanatory. But variations include the Double Decker, where she sits on him, and he’s on a chair, her back on his thighs, slightly propped up on her elbows. There’s also The Sphinx, The Galley (in this position, but she’s actually sitting on him), The Close-Up (even closer together) and The Fan.
3. Crouching Tiger

The move that inspired an Ang Lee movie, this is similar to the image except more leaning in is required, until both of you are nearly in a fetal position, on your knees. Similar styles include The Curled Angel (lying on one side), the Seated Ball (in a sitting position rather than kneeling) and The Star (similar to the Curled Angel, with her legs outside of his).
4. The Eagle
Her legs on his shoulders, and he can crouch in further if there’s a space constraint. This are space-efficient methods to indulge in. As for noise issues, that’s another concern altogether.
