The woman sits on the edge of a bed or chair and raises one leg vertically, as straight as she can, so that it is pointing out in front of her. The man kneels or squats before her as he enters her. He will likely have to hold the balance for both himself and the woman, as she will have only one leg on the floor for support.
The Peacock position illustrated has been modified to represent a more realistic pose that more women will be capable of performing (i.e., her raised leg is bent and rests on the man’s shoulder).
The woman needs to remember to breathe deeply and keep her muscles relaxed as she holds her leg up. To protect his knees, the man can put pillows on the floor and for balance, he can wrap his arm around her leg as he penetrates her. To make this position more erotic, the partners should stare into each other’s eyes.
Stretching is always a good idea, even if you’re not planning to do anything particularly adventurous in the bedroom. Try doing lunges and splits while you’re sitting around or watching television. Do lunges facing forward and to the side. While doing a split—whether to the front or the side—remember to breathe into the stretch.
In addition, practice kicks, which will not only tone you, but will increase your flexibility. As a challenge, set weekly goals for how high you can kick and how many kicks you can do.
