This position is more complex than you think and requires both partners to have agility, flexibility, and patience. 

While it may not appear elegant to the casual observer, this lazy position still demands some skilful coordination. 

For one partner, find a stable surface or blanket to hold onto while approaching from behind the other, who will be lying face down.

The standing partner should spread their legs, placing one leg in between the other's legs and the other leg outside.

For the partner lying down, position yourself on your stomach with your legs bent and spread apart. 

It helps to lie at the edge of the bed to use it for support. 

Approach this position slowly to fully savour the experience.

This manoeuvre often gets confused with the Rowing Boat position, which is where the woman usually sits on top of her partner on a chair.

But unlike the boat and cowgirl, your bodies are close enough for the intimacy of kissing, touching, or just giving each other incredibly lusty looks.
