You're lying on your sides, noses almost touching, with one of your legs thrown over his hip. Nobody's on top and nobody's working hard. Side by side is slow, deep and close, the kind of sex where you kiss the whole way through.

01Why side by side feels so close
You're equal here. You can both move, both touch and both see everything on the other person's face. Your chests are pressed together, your hands are free, and because the angle is shallow he lasts longer.
It's also kind to tired bodies. No arms holding anyone up and no knees on the mattress.
02How to get into it
-
1
Face each other
Lie on your sides, close enough to kiss, with a pillow under each head.
-
2
Lift your top leg
Hook your top leg over his hip and pull him in with your heel.
-
3
Shift your hips
Slide down the bed a little so your hips are lower than his. That lines everything up.
-
4
Rock, don't thrust
Move together in small, slow rocks. Hold his ass and set the pace yourself.
03Ways to change the feeling
-
Leg high
Bring your knee up toward his ribs for a deeper angle.
-
The tangle
Thread your legs through his like scissors so you can grind your clit on his thigh.
-
Roll on top
When you want more, roll him onto his back and finish in cowgirl.
04Make it hotter
- Keep your eyes open and watch each other get close.
- Run your nails slowly down his back.
- Whisper what you want next. Start with one easy line.
- Slide a hand between you and touch yourself while he watches.
