All things considered, sex is a somewhat mundane activity the thought of doing an arabesque so deep you’re practically doing a split mid-coitus is so astounding it’s almost amusing. I think the fascination lies within the unceremoniousness of flexible sex positions-there’s something so casual about it. (That’s not the case for all gymnastics routines, of course-I’ve been brought to tears by what Team USA has done at the Olympic Games on more than one occasion.)
Because I find myself, at times, more amazed by the idea of some of these sex positions than I am by some of the gymnastics routines I’ve born witness to. Likely because there’s something captivating about extreme flexibility in general-but that’s not entirely it. There’s something weirdly captivating about sex positions that require immense amounts of flexibility.
It’s a mesmerizing exercise-albeit a somewhat masochistic one, considering I can’t even touch my own toes. But that hasn’t kept me from perusing some of the most flexible sex positions (read: the sex positions requiring the most flexibility) in the zeitgeist.
