You don’t have to spend a fortune to go to a sex shop. Just pop into a regular furniture store and bring home a mirror. If you place it right, you’ll definitely consider it a damn good buy.
A substitute for group sex or a chance to see things from a new angle? Well, I can’t answer that for you. Definitely, but I say, give it a try!
How to enjoy sex in front of a mirror even more?
A mirror gives us the chance to observe not only ourselves, but also gives us the illusion that someone else is watching us, the illusion of being watched and watching. Hasn’t it ever turned you on to be watched by another couple making love? If so, but you don’t want to let strangers into your intimate life, this is also an option.
In earlier times, mirrors were associated with various legends and divinatory interpretations. As far back as ancient times, rooms were lined with mirrors, which significantly heightened the romantic desire of the suitors of courtesans of that era. Especially for men, who are significantly aroused by visual stimuli, this glittering treasure will be a great asset.
German sexologist Ernest Borneman states that in front of a mirror, every person is both an exhibitionist and a voyeur, though this behavior is in no way harmful.
Using a mirror during lovemaking will reveal to you what you might not otherwise see – a firm butt, tensed muscles, expressions of pure pleasure, and so on.
Yet the mirror offers many other pleasures
The chance to watch your partner even in positions where you can’t see her body. To look into her eyes even when it’s otherwise impossible.
The best sex positions for sex in front of a mirror
And which sexual positions do you enjoy best in front of a mirror? We’ve selected the most interesting ones, which we’ve also thoroughly tested in-depth here at the editorial office. And believe us, we have a very nice mirror there for these purposes O:)
Which is mounted on the wall:
- the “spooning” position, in which the woman can see her partner stimulating her genitals or breasts with his hands,
- the “69” in any variation (classic, on the side, etc.), the man can watch as the woman gives him a nice blowjob while standing, from behind, or on all fours,
- the “reverse cowgirl” position, where the man lies on his back and the woman straddles him with her back turned; this offers the partner a view not only of the woman’s butt, but by simply turning his head toward the mirror, he can also enjoy a view of her seductive curves,
- the “doggy style” position, thanks to the mirror, you’ll see her breasts swaying or your partner’s expression full of pleasure,
- the “standing from behind” position, the maximum closeness of the reflection in the mirror is quite arousing (if you want to try this, press your partner directly against it; it will get all smudged, but it’s definitely worth it for the experience).
The one leaning against the headboard:
- the woman is on all fours and the man penetrates her from above,
- pthe “chair” position, where both partners face the mirror (the man sits with his legs stretched out and the woman sits comfortably on him),
- the “back door” position, in which the woman lies on her stomach with her legs apart and the man penetrates her from behind, while both partners look directly into the mirror (this position is also suitable for anal sex).
Which is located on the ceiling:
- the “reverse cowgirl” position, in which the woman has her back to her partner lying on his back (if the woman leans back further, supports herself with her hands, and tilts her head back, both partners will see what they need to see),
- the classic “missionary”, if the woman wants a nice view of her partner’s butt,
- the “X” position, where both partners lie on their backs intertwined like this letter.
Where is the best place to put a mirror for sex?
Another amazing option is watching penetration from an angle that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. You can see details from an external perspective, allowing partners to enjoy not only the intercourse itself but also the view of it.
It’s best to place the mirror at the height of the bed (for example, on the wall or a wardrobe). For true sexual connoisseurs, we recommend mounting the mirror on the ceiling, directly above the bed.
However, a mirror isn’t for everyone. For some, seeing their own body can even be frustrating. You have to expect that all your imperfections will simply be visible. The key is definitely body confidence. But if you want to trick the eye a little, try creating a dim atmosphere so that you only see silhouettes in the mirror—turn off the lights, light some candles, and simply enjoy the moment.
The man sits on the edge of the bed and the woman sits on him with her back to him but facing the mirror. She sways to the rhythm of his steady thrusts and he can play with both her breasts and her crotch. Plus, he can watch it all in the mirror’s reflection and savor every visual sensation to the fullest.
Most importantly, don’t get shy—just relax
Of course, looking at your body in the mirror may not be pleasant for everyone. For whatever reason, the sight may be off-putting, whether due to physical imperfections (which I personally consider unfounded) or due to natural shyness.
It’s always important not to force yourself into anything, but for better self-confidence and mental health, try to realize that no imperfection is a bad thing and every little roll of fat can be incredibly sexy.
And then off to the furniture store for a huge mirror.
