In French: that's how soixante-neuf becomes très sexy

When Amayzine chief Adeline asked us for a thème Parisien article, we didn't have to think long. In a Parisian theme week, the most famous French number cannot be missing, of course. We're talking about soixante-neuf. Unlike Parisian cuisine, fashion, and films, this position doesn't have the best reputation. Many find it a bit awkward and clumsy, but fear not. LotteLust knows what to do. Position 69, but make it sexy? Écoutez-nous.

The atmosphere
To make every sexual encounter a success, you need a cozy foreplay. Think of dimmed lights, scented candles, and not to forget: a French evening naturally calls for French music. Oh, je t’aime…Also check out these 13 foreplay ideas for more inspiration.

Haute plaisir
Whether a woman or man is on the bottom, moving up and down the whole time can make your neck stiff after a while. A simple solution is to place a cushion under the buttocks and head of the person on the bottom. It makes a world of difference.

Lentement s’il vous plaît
Slow is the way to go. Position 69 may have a pornographic character, but you don't have to go at it as if you need to catch a train. Go for sultry and slow. Build it up. You don't have to only give oral at 69; you can also use your hands in between. And ask your partner what he or she likes and indicate what you are warm for.

Play
Give your mouth a break and keep a toy nearby to switch things up. For a woman, that could be a vibrator, and for a man, a Tenga egg. A what? A Tenga egg is an egg-shaped toy that you can use to pleasure a man.

And position
Many people who are not fans of 69 find it an awkward position – and secretly it also feels particularly uncharming. But it doesn't have to be. Soixante-neuf is a position that you can perform in many different ways. Whether you're lying between the French sheets with a jolie femme or joli homme: anything is possible.

If you don't find hanging above each other comfy, you can also do 69 on your side. It's much more comfortable for both parties. You can relax better and therefore enjoy more. Is one of you super strong? Then you can even do 69 standing. Just practice a bit and you could join Cirque du Soleil. Still not a fan of 69? Then try position 68.
