In the family of acrobatics, here is a sexual position that combines flexibility and thrills: the Thai wheelbarrow. How to make it? What are its risks and contraindications? The point with Sébastien Garnero, sexologist and doctor of psychology.
Definition, what is Thai wheelbarrow posture?
This is a sexual position from Kamasutra, relatively acrobatic. One of the partners is almost in a gymnastic position called “pear tree” (support on the hands, arms outstretched, head down, and lower body vertical), while the other partner is behind, standing supporting the ankles with his hands resting on his shoulders. In this position, the man bends his legs slightly to penetrate his partner from behind.
The “Thai wheelbarrow” of Kamasutra: for whom?
The “Thai wheelbarrow” is a physical position, relatively complex at the start and rarely used in practice because it requires very good physical skills in terms of flexibility, sheathing and muscle tone, especially in women; but also in humans especially at the portage level.
It will therefore be more intended for sports profiles, gymnasts, dancers, yogis, etc. who want to explore their sexuality differently.
Advantages and benefits of the Thai wheelbarrow
“The exceptional conditions for practicing this position can precisely lead to different angles of penetration and new, more intense sexual sensations, due to the muscular tension and sexual tension felt”, explains Sébastien Garnero, sexologist.
This Kamasutra posture will also strengthen the physical condition of partners and develop their loving creativity.
- For the woman, it is a very good exercise for sheathing and overall muscle tone while combining a form of flexibility.
- For the man, it is mainly the thighs, back and arms that will be used. Depending on the angle, the more he flexes his thighs, the more intense and important the effort will be for him, the more he straightens up, the greater the effort will be for the woman; the ideal being to find the right compromise offering a certain comfort to both partners.
How to practice Thai wheelbarrow without risk?
Before exploring this type of acrobatic position, you must first assess your sexual expectations for the couple. “For some, the “Thai wheelbarrow” can indeed result in a complete “flop” either because of physical problems, or because it does not correspond to the sensitivity of one of the members of the couple, who considers sexuality essentially on a sensual, soft side, but not like a relatively intense sporting physical activity”, specifies Sébastien Garnero, sexologist. He adds: “Start first with a phase of testing and exploring the position for the “fun”, while having fun.”
Manual
The man is standing and the woman on her knees, near the bed or a mattress to allow the contact to be softened or to rest between two attempts or to move on to a more comfortable position.
In a joint way the man lifts the pelvis of his partner, at the same time as she raises her pelvis and positions her two outstretched arms to manage to stretch her body almost completely (gymnastic position of the semi-pear tree). She then puts her feet on the shoulders of the man who holds them firmly with his hands.
Limit the risks
Be sure to ensure the good stability of both partners and that one does not force too much compared to the other to achieve a relative balance.
The man can slightly bend his thighs according to his size and that of his partner to allow deeper penetration. By making sure that his partner is sufficiently lubricated following the preludes that preceded this position”, adds the sexologist, Sébastien Garnero.
Then the coitus itself can develop, where the man will mobilize his sex in movements of intromission (penetration). Some will be able to reach orgasm in this position, which is generally easier for men than for women. Most will choose this position as an exciting transition to other more common, comfortable positions (doggy style, missionary, andromaque and variations of these three basic positions), which allow them to access pleasure more easily.
How long to maintain the position?
“The duration of the report will generally be quite short given the physical and emotional intensity. It will be a “quickie” in the majority of cases, so do not perform this position to do a “marathon” of sex”, indicates the sexologist, Sébastien Garnero.
What would be the easier variants of the Thai wheelbarrow?
The so-called “standard wheelbarrow” position : at the start, both partners are standing. The man stands behind the woman. Then, she leans forward, and puts her forearms on the ground or possibly on a cushion. The man penetrates her from behind in a position close to doggy style. Then in a second step, he grabs the woman’s ankles, and getting up, brings them back to the level of the top of her thighs, a little below the hips.
The position of the standard inverted or so-called “front wheelbarrow” : conversely, the woman is facing forward, resting on her arms outstretched or semi-flexed on a bed or on the ground; and the standing, slightly bent, kneeling man holds her legs apart grasping her with his hands in a more complex and athletic elevated or acrobatic variant form of missionary. Once the supports are stable, the penetration phase can begin.
The “small or semi-wheelbarrow”: this position begins as doggy style and becomes more acrobatic: while the woman is on all fours, the man is kneeling behind her; he grabs one of his partner’s legs, and at the same time puts his partner’s thigh on his shoulder. Both partners being stabilized, the penetration phase can begin.
The position known as “the flaming wheelbarrow” : the woman gets on all fours on the ground and puts her forehead on a cushion or pillow to cushion, she maintains contact with the ground with her hands, and her arms bent. The man positions himself standing behind her, then grabs her ankles and raises her legs (folded up) to thigh level. The penetration phase can then begin quietly.
The risks and contraindications linked to this rather acrobatic sexual position
The risks associated with the position are essentially minor muscle problems, up to the risk of falling when unbalanced, loss of excitement if the position is too difficult to hold or uncomfortable.
The contraindications will concern:
- people who suffer from recurrent or acute back problems (low back pain, back pain, spinal pain, neck pain, vertebral, back, abdominal, joint, muscle problems, etc.);
- people who are sedentary, not very athletic, not very toned or not flexible, with weak muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc.;
- people with a certain kinesthetic hypersensitivity when changing position (upside down, unusual positions, etc.);
- people who are significantly overweight or obese who cannot move sufficiently fluidly, and possibly with risks of hypertension, also presenting difficulties in carrying, muscle tension with chest blockage, therefore significant health risks or risk of falling;
- pregnant women: if it is important to maintain sexuality during pregnancy, it is better to favor positions that are much more comfortable and less acrobatic.
In conclusion, the Thai wheelbarrow is a relatively acrobatic position, demanding for both partners, but quite exciting. It can therefore enrich the romantic palette of the couple in their sexuality, provided of course that it is achievable and corresponds to the desire of both in their dynamics of sexual exploration.
