It’s time to get a little Eyes Wide Shut... Let your lover cover their face and lie back while you take control, teasing and pleasuring them to a thrilling climax.
How?
The receiver lies comfortably on their back with their vision obscured by a blindfold or a bondage hood. The giver kneels between the receiver’s legs, licking and kissing all their lover’s sweet spots.
While your mouth gets to work, slide a lubed finger or toy inside your lover for slippery, sensual surprise. While your lover can’t see a thing, the unexpected cool touch of a glass or metal dildo could feel incredible.
Expert advice: It goes without saying that you should have a chat about boundaries before anyone surrenders to a blindfold! Ask questions like: “Are there any areas you'd prefer me not to touch?” and “Are you comfortable with penetration?”
Treats for your midnight feast
Why?
Surrendering your sight to a blindfold creates a thrilling sense of anticipation. If you chose a bondage hood instead, you might notice that sounds are little muffled too.
By limiting your sight and hearing, you’ll focus your attention on other senses, which can amplify your sensitivity to touch. Meanwhile, if you’re the giver, you get to play with timing and technique, knowing your lover is experiencing heightened awareness.
Beyond physical pleasure, this one also nurtures trust; allowing one partner to let go while the other takes control. Seeing your lover fully absorbed in your touch can feel deeply bonding, while the element of suspense keeps things exciting.
Make it even easier
Need more neck support while lying on the ground? Get a pillow – there’s no sense in being uncomfortable! You can also slip a pillow or folded blanket under your butt; it’s comfier for you and means the giver won’t have to crane their neck to give you oral.
While lying on your back, you can stretch your legs out flat or have your feet flat on the ground, whichever allows you to relax fully without straining your lower back. This is about the trust and power play of sensory deprivation – how you tweak the physicality is up to you!
Make it even better
The sense of heightened anticipation goes really well with temperature play, which is why we recommend the We-Vibe Temp for this position. This is the first toy that combines rumbly vibrations with heating and cooling sensations, creating delicious contrasts against the receiver’s skin.
You can tease the thighs, stomach, or inner arms before pressing the soft silicone vibrator flat on their clitoris or testicles while giving oral sex. Think of it like teasing your lover with ice cubes or dripping wax, just without the prep time – or any mess!
Make it even kinkier
Oh, you know this position can get kinkier... The blindfold is already flirting with restraint territory – and it’s easy to amp it up. (Your blindfold or hood may already be part of a bondage kit, you little minx!)
Adding light restraints like soft cuffs or scarves increases the sense of surrender – try cuffing the receiving partner’s wrists to a bedpost or table leg while you drive them wild with anticipation of your skilful mouth.
Tease them with denial, pulling back just before climax and then starting again. Dirty talk, whispered commands, or playful roleplay can layer psychological excitement onto physical pleasure. Let them know exactly what you’re going to do with their delicious body – or leave them guessing.
Not the position for you?
We're working to make sure that everyone is represented on our website, regardless of who you love, so we'll be using a variety of gender depictions in our Position of the Week posts. This will include straight, gay, lesbian, and gender neutral couples, but all positions will have details in the description of how to make them work for your own relationship dynamic.
