The first position is called the elbow-knee position. This involves the woman elevating her waist using her elbows and knees, with the man entering from behind. Alternatively, a pillow can be placed under the chest to support the elbows.
When adopting this position, focus on elevating the hips while lowering the shoulders. To retain semen within the vaginal vault, maintain the original posture after ejaculation. After the man withdraws, place a quilt beneath the abdomen to prevent fatigue.
2. Flexed Position
Also known as the ancient flexed position, this involves the couple facing each other. The woman lies on her back with her legs raised high, resting them on the man's shoulders.
This position exposes the vaginal vestibule and opening, facilitating penetration and deeper union. It also positions the posterior fornix—the semen-retaining area—to accumulate semen and capture sperm.
After ejaculation, maintaining this position for approximately thirty minutes ensures sperm reaches the uterus. Following withdrawal, a pillow must be placed beneath the woman's waist to sustain the posture.
Ancient Chinese sexual texts refer to this flexed position as "Turtle Ascending."
Within the Turtle Leap, when the woman places her legs over the man's shoulders, it is called the Wild Horse Leap. Alternatively, she may rest her legs in the crook of his arms while he lifts her waist with both hands. This allows deeper penetration, intensifying the woman's pleasure.
This is an ideal method for facilitating semen entry into the body.
