Living with back pain also has consequences on your life as a couple and your sexuality. Certain postures can indeed accentuate lower back pain. Our wise advice for adopting the right sexual positions under the duvet and stopping suffering!
What is the best posture for making love when you have back pain?
“So that the back does not tense, the vertebrae must all be well aligned with each other, like the beads of a rosary”, image Evelyne Le Corre, yoga teacher. “Whatever position you find yourself in during sexual intercourse, here are the gestures and movements to adopt.”
- Tuck your lower abdomen and work your abs : most back problems come from the fact that the stomach is not muscular enough and that we arch our backs. Remember to contract your abdominals during sex, “swallow your stomach”, this will allow you to straighten your spine;
- Bring the pubis forward : by tilting your pelvis forward, you will relieve the lower back (lower back), and correspondingly protect them since you will thus keep your back straight;
- Bring your chin slightly forward : Often the head tilts forward or backward, causing the spine to twist. So remember to keep your head in line with the latter, that is to say slightly tilted forward (put a closed fist between chest and chin to find the ideal inclination);
- Use cushions : when you are lying on your back, place a small cushion or yoga block below your tailbone. This will make it possible to reproduce this effect of retroversion of the pelvis.
The different Kama-Sutra positions that are good for the back
To limit pain, certain positions should be favored when you suffer from back problems.
The position of the spoon (on the side)
Also called the position 99 of the Kamasutra, the position of the spoon “reproduces the position of the fetus, it respects the natural curves of the spine”, explains our teacher. The ideal is then to use a cushion between the knees and the thighs, so that the legs are aligned and relaxed.
The nap position or the square
The nap position also called “the square” is tender and quiet, but it remains no less erotic and pleasant. It ensures both partners relaxation and great comfort while offering each a panoramic view of the other. What else? To practice it, it’s simple: the woman lies on her back with her knees raised. The man lies down on his side facing his partner so that he is perpendicular to her.
“Here again the partners do not risk getting hurt since the position allows you not to arch the spine. For women, it is recommended to place a small cushion under the top of the head this time, in order to bring the chin closer to the chest and therefore keep the spine straight,” explains Evelyne Le Corre.
The drunken boat (missionary with legs raised)
For those who would like a sensational position that would not hurt your back, this one is perfect. The lady is not arched and the man, who manages the penetration, can also lean on his partner’s legs to keep his back straight. “As with the previous position, remember to keep your chin a little lowered.” NB: this position promotes deep penetration.
The Eagle’s Union
Eagle union is THE ideal romantic position to avoid back pain. The two partners are lying on their side, facing each other. In the “standard” version, the woman spreads her legs to wrap them around the man’s legs or waist to allow penetration.
Doggy style penetration, a pose that causes pain?
It all depends on your posture. If you keep your back straight and tuck your stomach in a little, you will be able to afford to practice it without problem. In fact, you will prevent the lower back from twisting and, on the contrary, allow them to be stretched and lengthened. Reverse missionary, Amazon and derivatives (reverse amazon, standing on the feet, etc.), all these positions also do the job, as long as you don’t arch your back !
Back pain and sexual intercourse: adapt to your pain
Of course, you need to listen to your body : what applies to Pierre does not necessarily apply to Paul or Jacques. Just one piece of advice that works: First choose the position that is least painful for you.
Beyond the positions, this is your dream opportunity massage gently this time placing a cushion under the lower abdomen so as not to arch your back.
So, you will have understood, to protect your back, your abdominal and gluteal muscles will be your best allies. Be sure to keep the straight spine and don’t get into positions that are too convoluted.
Good to you and your back.
