[NSFW] How awkward is 69?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) February 22nd, 2011

It’s a great idea, at least, in my imagination. I’m pretty well coordinated, but this just doesn’t seem to work.

What’s your experience? Do you have some trick for turning it into a graceful dance?

I can tell you that it doesn’t work if there is a great height differential.

<—- 5’0”

Side-by-side instead of one on top of the other works much better. Here are some pointers

I didn’t find it awkward, I just found I lost my concentration the closer I got to orgasm. Which meant that I sort… lost my place.

It’s not that it’s awkward, it’s just that it’s too much multitasking – if I’m going down on you, I can’t focus on my own pleasure.

Blackberry's avatar

It has never been awkward for me, it’s kind of like chemistry: it just happens smoothly on its own. If there are mistakes you just laugh at them and keep going.

Cleanliness is a must for starters or you can get turned off at the get go. Take your time as 69 is best enjoyed at a relaxed pace. Just do what feels good!

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Try 71 instead. 69 with two fingers in the ass.

whattodowhattodo's avatar

I agree with Simone and Cruiser – multitasking is difficult and it should definitely be a relaxed pace.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@wundayatta You could try taking turns focusing on each other.

We’re the same height, but, it doesn’t do anything for me. I like to focus on her, or have her focus on me, if you know what I’m saying. Whilst having it done to us, we can take care of their bits with our fingers (the old reach under or reach around)..

I find it hard to do at a relaxed pace, especially when my head is being pushed into the pillow, it’s all I can do just to breath……… gets a little frantic :-/
I’m not complaining, it’s not often I have the privilege…..

It works for me and my fella. I usually just lower myself onto his face if you know what I mean!! and then slide down his body until we’re in the right position. I find it easier if I am on top of him rather than side by side.

LuckyGuy's avatar

I don’t know about anyone else, but my heart is beating a little faster now.

Supacase's avatar

I am unable to focus. Taking turns is much better.

Seelix's avatar

I prefer taking turns as well, but it’s fun once in a while. Side-by-side is definitely a better option – no craning of the neck or leg cramps.

FutureMemory's avatar

I like it, but it’s best if she has recently showered, since your nose is basically right in her butt. At the end of a hot sweaty Summer day it’s rather…pungent.

DominicX's avatar

I’ve only done the side-by-side method as @Seelix mentioned and most times I’d prefer “taking turns” as others have said, but the few times I’ve done it, it was pretty hot… And since he and I are about the same size, not much awkwardness results from that…

Jude's avatar

@FutureMemory Hopefully, you have had a shower, as well, otherwise she’d be smellin’ your purple starfish (or, chode area even). Ick

whattodowhattodo's avatar

@Seelix how does he access me – is my leg in the air or what?

zenvelo's avatar

@whattodowhattodo Lie on your side, both legs bent, and one knee lying on its side, the other pointing to the ceiling.

Seelix's avatar

@whattodowhattodo – Yup, @zenvelo described it perfectly.

cak's avatar

Husband is 6’4, I’m 5’2”. We get a little innovative and it works nicely.

@noelleptc@Scooby said “head”, not “face”. Goofball. ;)

Cleanliness is a given, eww. Ya, I’m with everyone says it doesn’t work multitasking. Someone is going to get the short end of the stick, no pun intended. That much pleasure tends to be paralizing! So the one out performing the other is the one that loses. Got to admit don’t mind losing in this situation.

FutureMemory's avatar

@Jude Oh, I always felt pity for any woman that had her face in my crotch unless I had recently bathed ;)

choreplay's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe, does that mean one finger in the ass is a 70????

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Funny you should mention the 71, @Adirondackwannabe, as that tends to be our preferred position. And we usually go the “normal” route, with me on top, because when he “finishes me off”, it’s really easy for me to just slide right down into reverse cowgirl.

jca's avatar

I prefer being either the giver or the recipient one at a time. If I am going to be eaten out I want to lay back and enjoy it, and really savor the sensation. If I am going to go down on a man, I want to really enjoy that, too. I love doing it and I get turned on doing it, and I want to really concentrate on using my skills and getting into it. I will do 69 if someone wants, but I am happier not to.

choreplay's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate, I would give you 1000 lurve for that if I could. ;) @worriedguy, hows your heart now?

Neizvestnaya's avatar

It’s not been awkward at all. We usually do him on top because I can prop up with pillows and have fun with all the goodies.

blueiiznh's avatar

@wundayatta Have you tried a Standing 69? A bit of an athletic balancing act, but well worth it!

ETpro's avatar

It’s all in the fit. I’ve tried it a few times in my life with several different partners. All but one fit terribly. It was way uncomfortable and took our minds off having any fun. One fit just right and we both came simultaneously. That may well have been the mountaintop sex of my entire life. It was pure, unadulterated ecstasy and it went on and on and on. Sadly, the sex was about the only thing that fit with that lover. When it came to personality and interests and levels of honesty, we were complete opposites.

wundayatta's avatar

@blueiiznh Wow! That sure does sound like fun. Thing is, I’m not 20 any more, and I don’t really want to be pulling a Rockefeller. I suppose if I have to go, that would be the way to do it, but I’d just as soon live to fuck another day ;-)

sleepdoc's avatar

I wouldn’t say it is so much an awkward experience that has never been a struggle. But it is easy to loose focus on what I am trying to achieve for my partner.

Scooby's avatar

@noelleptc

I just find it’s more comfortable with the support of a pillow ( behind my head ) as I tend to get a little neck strain when I’m on the bottom is all :-/
I guess the benefit works both ways, if I’m comfortable I can concentrate on the job in,,,, well , you know what I mean :-/
Rhythm is key…

Thanks for stepping in @Seelix ;-)
