Cradle

The Cradle family combines the intimacy of being face to face with having the woman on top and in control... a pretty rare match up! Not only is she on top, she has the option of using the man's legs or shoulders for both support and leverage!

The man may find it more comfortable to lean against a wall, as the position can get a little straining on the arms... and having a pillow to sit on is definitely recommended.

Position Variations

Cradle

With great face-to-face contact, the head of the Cradle family is a very intimate position that's great for those that like a lot of kissing, or just gazing into each other's eyes. To get into the position the woman mounts the sitting man while facing them, making it an excellent choice for beginners to start out in. The man will need to spread his legs a bit wider than you might think to get good fit, and the woman will likely want to push off of the man's legs with her arms to help generate and aim the lift. Crabby Cradle

In the Crabby variation of the Cradle, the woman leans back all the way into a crab position. Offering a unique penetration angle within the family, it is one of the best in the group for targeting the g-spot. However, the crab posture can be quite taxing on her upper body, so you may enjoy shorter bouts in this position. For those comfortable with the crab posture, make sure to explore the full range of movement available to find what feels best! Folded Cradle

One of the tougher members of the Cradle family, the Folded variation has the woman's legs positioned over the man's shoulders. Generating lift comes mostly from the woman's upper body pushing off of the man's thighs, though the man might be able to assist with some thrusting from below if he can keep his rear off the ground while supporting her full weight. Since most of us can only do so many tricep extensions, we recommend experimenting with some grinding at different penetration depths between sets! Kneeling Cradle

The Kneeling variation of the Cradle brings the woman to her knees. Offering some of the best mobility in the family, most women should find it a lot easier to control both penetration depth and speed. Men should be able to find it a little easier to provide some thrusting from below with less weight on his body, and we definitely recommend experimenting with different combinations of movement. Lazy Cradle

Perfect for a break, or just a relaxing evening, the Lazy variation of Cradle has the women extending her legs forward without planting her feet. With very limited mobility, it is most suitable for grinding, though some lift for penetration distance can be attained through extending the woman's arms. Since tricep dips can be quite taxing, you may find it easier to perform the position near some furniture, so she can mix in some shoulder strength by resting her forearms on it. Mixed Cradle

The Mixed variation of the Cradle is a placeholder position reminding everyone to explore mixing and matching all of the other members of the family. There is no reason to stay symmetric, and in fact, staying symmetric is rarely going to be the best way to take advantage of your body's shape! If you find some combinations that stand out, please feel free to share them in the comments below. Wrapped Cradle

In the Wrapped variation of Cradle, the woman wraps her legs around her partner's waist. Having very limited mobility, it is best suited for couples who enjoy deep gyrating and grinding, however women with strong triceps will be able to generate some lift using their arms. By holding him tight with her legs, she is firmly anchored and able to grind her clit against her partner for additional pleasure. Since men may find this position a little straining on the back, you may want to position yourselves so that he can lean against some furniture for added support. This can also free up his hands to help her with lifting effort, or to just explore her body.
