How to start the conversation about shallowing without the awkwardness

Talking about shallowing might feel like navigating a minefield, but it doesn’t have to be that dramatic. Tracey suggests weaving it seamlessly into your everyday chats. Imagine saying, “I was listening to Woman's Hour the other day, and they were discussing this fascinating study about techniques that can make penetration more pleasurable for women. One of the methods really caught my attention because I think I already do something similar, but it made me curious...” That kind of opener eases you in gently.

Once you clear the initial awkward moments, discussing sex becomes surprisingly straightforward. Sure, your partner might be puzzled, asking, “Wait, hasn’t penetration alone always worked for you?” If you’d rather not admit you’ve been quietly recalibrating your preferences, there’s a neat way out: simply say, “I think my body’s changing and I’m discovering I enjoy different things now.” It’s honest and puts the focus on your evolving experience rather than past critiques.

Don’t wait for the heat of the moment to bring it up

The key to smoother conversations about sex, including shallowing, is timing. Tracey stresses the importance of talking about sex before things get hot and heavy. When you’re calm and connecting, your partner is more likely to listen rather than feel attacked.

Imagine dropping a conversation bomb mid-action saying, “Actually, I prefer you do it this way instead.” Cue partner defensiveness, awkward silence, or worse, a row. Everyone’s a bit sensitive about their bedroom skills - it’s part of the fragile human ego kit. Instead, save these chats for relaxed moments.

Try something casual like, “I was reading something interesting today...” or “Did you know about this study?” These bite-sized, everyday mentions make it less of a serious boardroom meeting and more of a natural part of your relationship dialogue. At Mysteries of Love Academy, we’ve found that normalizing conversations about intimacy goes a long way in enhancing connection and pleasure.

For a full deep dive into Tracey’s discussion, tune into her chat with Emma Barnett on BBC Sounds. You can also catch up on any previous episodes of Woman's Hour. And if you want to keep the dialogue going, follow the conversation @bbcwomanshour on Instagram or Twitter. Sometimes, the best insights come from listening first.

Discover the Cowgirl Position: Control, Stimulation, and Fun

The Cowgirl position is a classic for many reasons. It’s not just about passion; it’s a strategic choice for pleasure that hits all the right spots. According to the experts at Mysteries of Love Academy, this position offers simultaneous G-spot, clitoral, and cervical stimulation. That’s a powerful trio for anyone looking to dial up their experience. Plus, being on top means you set the pace and have full control over your orgasm. And let’s be honest, having the best seat in the house to watch everything unfold is a pretty nice bonus.

What makes Cowgirl stand out among other positions is how it gives the receiver-the one with a vulva, in this case-the steering wheel. You get to decide how fast or slow, how deep or gentle the rhythm is. Switch between shallow taps and deep pushes to keep things exciting. Shallow movements specifically target the front third of the vagina, where sensitivity is at its peak, according to sex therapist Rebecca Rosenblat, author of Seducing Your Man. It’s a subtle way to spice up the ride and make every moment count.

If you want to mix things up a bit, try a variation where you lie chest to chest. The partner on top should place their feet on top of the giver’s and use them to gently push into a rocking motion. This technique intensifies the sensation by rubbing the vulva and clitoris against the pubic bone, adding another layer of pleasure. It’s like turning a good thing into a great thing with just a little teamwork.

Here’s a hot tip from Mysteries of Love Academy: the Cowgirl position becomes even more orgasm-friendly when the giver preps their partner properly. Manual and oral stimulation before and during will boost arousal levels to the max, making it easier for the receiver to reach that climactic moment. So don’t rush it-build anticipation and enjoy the fun!

Doggy Style: Exploring Deep Connection and Pleasure

Also playfully called Man's Best Friend, Doggy Style is a classic that combines intimacy with a certain adventurous edge. This position offers deep penetration and an enticing view that many find irresistible.

Imagine starting your session with The Flatiron position and then smoothly transitioning to Doggy Style. The giver approaches from behind, allowing for deeper thrusts. If it’s vaginal penetration, the tip might reach the cervix - a delightful and often overlooked pleasure spot. But heads up: this requires a gentle pace. Some people with vulvas feel discomfort if things get too intense or fast. Slow and steady wins the race here.

Here’s a little secret safe for the receiver: try gently pushing your pelvic floor muscles outward, almost like you’re squeezing something out. This trick lowers the vaginal walls, making the G-spot easier to reach and potentially turning pleasure up a notch. Thanks to Mysteries of Love Academy, you’ll discover these nuanced techniques that transform simple moments into immersive experiences.

Explore the Butter Churner: A Playful Spin on Intimacy

The Butter Churner, affectionately dubbed the Squat Thruster, isn’t your average cuddle session. This position brings a delightful twist by sending an extra flood of blood to the receiver’s head, ramping up pleasure to new heights. It’s perfect for couples looking to add a spark and a dash of adventure to their intimate moments.

Here’s how it goes down: the receiver lies flat on their back, lifting their legs up and over their head like a lotus flower in full bloom. Meanwhile, the giver gets into a squat position hovering above, rhythmically dipping their penis or dildo in and out with a gentle touch. It’s exciting, but a gentle reminder from Mysteries of Love Academy: make your movements soft and careful to avoid any neck strain. No one’s looking to turn romance into a neck workout!

A word from the wise: novelty is the secret sauce that keeps passion sizzling. According to biological anthropologist Helen Fisher, Ph.D., fresh and different experiences boost dopamine levels-our brain’s love potion linked to romance and sexual desire. The Butter Churner definitely brings that novel vibe. But remember, you don’t have to call in the acrobats every night. Any new twist, however small, keeps the fire alive.

Discover the Spork Position: Where Spoon Meets Fork with a Twist

The Spork position, affectionately called the 'Spoon and Fork Combo' or sometimes just 'Scissoring,' is a playful and versatile move that opens the door to exploring more adventurous and creative bedroom antics. Mysteries of Love Academy champions this position as a perfect natural bridge from the cozy to the experimental.

Here’s how it unfolds: the receiver lies flat on their back and lifts their right leg, creating a perfect 90-degree angle. This invites the giver to nestle their body right between the receiver’s legs, forming what looks remarkably like the tines of a spork. Whether the giver faces the receiver or enjoys a view from behind, the position adapts with ease.

Feeling flexible? Raise the stakes - and the receiver's left leg too. Lifting that second leg ramps up the depth of connection, making everything a little more intense and unforgettable. It’s like adding extra seasoning to a meal that’s already delicious.

Here’s a hot tip from Mysteries of Love Academy: as the receiver lifts their top leg, the giver can catch it on their shoulder, offering both support and stability. Meanwhile, the receiver has free hands to bring some extra clitoral attention into play, creating a multi-layered experience that’s sure to please.
