The Cobra: when bodies tangle completely
Missionary, but with more skin. In the cobra, bodies tangle completely: the legs of the receiver wrap around the partner and not a centimeter is left without contact. Pure enveloping intimacy.

Anatomy and biomechanics
Variation of the frontal supine position in which the receiver wraps the body of the person on top with the lower (and upper) extremities. The link reduces the movement range and turns it into a short and continuous pelvic rocking, maximizing the bodily surface contact and the sensation of fusion.
Why this position works
It is the total contact position: tangled bodies, little movement, and a lot of presence. By reducing the thrust and enhancing the rocking, it prolongs the sensations and creates an enveloping intimacy ideal for slow and connected sex. Perfect for reconciliations and nights without hurry.
Variations of this position
1. The Knot: arms and legs intertwined
Bodies completely intertwined, arms and legs of the receiver surrounding the partner.
The receiver adds the arm link to the leg link. Maximum contact, minimum movement, total fusion.
- From the cobra, also wrap with the arms.
- Reduce movement to swaying.
- Breathe together.
2. Side Cobra: turning without letting go
The intertwined bodies roll to one side, moving to the lateral position without letting go.
Both roll to one side without breaking the connection, moving to the lateral decubitus position. Change the angle while maintaining intimacy.
- From the cobra, roll together to one side.
- Maintain the leg connection.
