“Really take your time and be sure you are steady and confident in your balance before thrusting because if you fall over or move too quickly, you could literally break their penis.” Ouch. “To prevent injury, it’s really important to go slowly, especially initially,” says Antonia Hall, sex and relationship expert and author of The Ultimate Guide to a Multi-Orgasmic Life. In fact, because it often involves some bending of the phallus away from the body, a strap-on may be a better option than a penis,” says Jess O’Reilly, PhD, resident sexologist at Astroglide.īut like with all new positions, proceed with caution “You can try it with a penis or a strap-on, and you can use your vagina or your butt, which means that you can try it while pegging. Want to tie someone up, use a strap-on, or try anal? Go right ahead-the Amazon is nothing if not versatile. Plus, watching you be on top and in control can be hot as hell for them too. “Some people love the psychological factor of giving away all control,” says Katherin Winnick, sex coach and BDSM expert at Let’s Talk Sex. It also gives the usually-dominant partner the chance to chill and explore their submissive side. If you’re usually the receiving partner on the bottom, the Amazon position gives you the opportunity to explore what it feels like to be dominant, in control, and on top. “Nontraditional sexual positions take a bit of focus, so it’s a good way for women to get out of their heads, be playful, and tune into whether it feels good,” says ob-gyn and certified sex coach Renée Hilliard, MD. The Amazon can be a tricky, athletic position, but that’s what makes it so hot. And if deep penetration is on the sexploration menu for you, the Amazon position is it,” says E Michelle Thomas, ACS certified sexologist. "They haven’t been well studied until recently, and with such biodiversity, there are bound to be more surprises.“For the adventurous couple looking to really explore new things, the Amazon provides easier internal hot spot access and intense orgasms for both. “This is just one of many spectacular discoveries about amphibians in India," Hanken adds. Although Hanken believes that’s likely, he also points out that the researchers haven’t shown exactly when and where sperm meets egg. “That’s pretty surprising.” (Also see " New Frog Mates Doing Handstands, Does 'Pottery.'")ĭas and colleagues suggest the delay allows for the sperm to make its way down the female’s back to fertilize her eggs. In these frogs, the female doesn’t release her eggs until long after the male has left,” Hanken said. “Most of the time, the male releases his sperm as the female releases her eggs. It’s what happens next that he finds most interesting. To James Hanken, curator of herpetology at the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, the dorsal straddle is unique-but not really all that different from what other frogs do.


It was no easy task, as the nocturnal amphibians are very secretive and mate only during monsoon season, when heavy rains and flooding make research a challenge.īut he persevered, and between 20, Das and colleagues watched and recorded mating Bombay night frogs using infrared light, which doesn't disturb them. Forty nights of data revealed the dorsal straddle, the newfound mating position.

Peep Showsĭas-whose nickname is "the frogman of India"-has spent several years observing the unusual behaviors of Bombay night frogs in the Western Ghats, a biologically rich mountain range that runs down the western side of India.įor example, females make mating calls and males fight over territory, he says-unique traits that inspired him to study these frogs’ mating habits. (Related: “ Weird Purple Frog Seduces Females From Underground.”) “It creates a new chapter in the frog Kama Sutra,” he says. University of Evansville herpetologist Noah Gordon calls the new discovery a very “nontraditional” mating position. (See " Wild Romance: Weird Animal Courtship and Mating Rituals.") It’s like watching a scripted event,” he said in an email. "It has been a wonderful experience to observe the entire breeding sequence of this unique frog. “So far, this mating position, is known only in Bombay night frogs," says study leader Sathyabhama Das Biju, a biologist at the University of Delhi.
