Italian Chandelier Position

The Italian Chandelier is a great sex position for hitting your G-Spot while also having a nice ‘exposed’ and slightly submissive feeling to it. It’s incredibly easy to transfer from the regular Missionary position into the Italian Chandelier. You just need to lie on your back. There are also a lot of other positions you can transition to in our Sex Positions Guide, which has a ton of illustrations!

While your man is having regular Missionary sex, he then needs to get to his knees and bring them quite close to you, which will force your legs apart. When he is on his knees, he then needs to put his hands under your butt and hips and lift them up. To help him raise your butt and hips, bend your knees and plant your feet on the bed. This will allow you to push you hips/waist into the air.

What The Girl Does In The Italian Chandelier Position

When you are in the Italian Chandelier position, you need to help to keep your waist elevated otherwise your man’s arms are going to quickly tire. This is usually fairly easy, but if you find that you are getting tired/weak from keeping your waist raised, then try putting a few pillows/cushions under your back to keep it elevated.

When performing the Italian Chandelier with your man, if you want him to make more contact with the upper wall of your vagina (G-Spot), then try arching your back a little, while also pushing back onto him.

When you are in this position, your man isn’t going to be making contact with your clit, so if you want, you can provide yourself with some manual stimulation using your hands or even a vibrator. More on that here.

What The Man Does In The Italian Chandelier Position

Your man is going to be doing the majority of the work in the Italian Chandelier position. He will be thrusting in and out of you. He will also have his hands on your waist (or under it), keeping it raised. Your man will have a lot of control over the angles he enters you at. By leaning back, he can provide more pressure and stimulation to your G-Spot. But if he leans forward, over you, he will penetrate you deeper.

If he wants to penetrate you with more power, he can grab your hands or arms to pull you towards him with each thrust.

If your man is strong enough, he can put his arms under your waist and lift you up so that your back and head are taken right off the bed. This position can make you feel free and exposed, with your man in almost complete control.

Things To Consider When Performing Italian Chandelier Sex Position

When performing the Italian Chandelier, my students have made a few interesting points:

• Pillows and cushions are your friends. There is no point in both you and your man getting really tired keeping your waist elevated. The solution: put a few pillows/cushions under your lower back to give you some support.
• A little flexibility is required.
• Don’t forget to keep your knees bent and feet on the bed to help keep your waist raised.
• Try putting your hands on the headboard/wall behind you and push back onto your man with each of his thrusts for deeper and stronger penetration.

• Exposed Eagle – How far can you bend back while kneeling? This is an interesting position!
• Down Stroke – Sex is entirely different when you’re upside down.
• Bridge – Instead of simply leaning back, you and your man bend your legs to create a human bridge.
