We have all heard of — or even done — the notorious 69 sex position, where a couple maneuvers their bodies so both their mouths and genitalia match up perfectly.

But what about its lesser-known, but just as erotic, neighbor ... the 68?

This oral sex position may not be able to deliver mutual pleasure, but it is superbly designed to activate those often forgotten erogenous zones: the anus and testicles.

The Position

While the 69 position allows both partners to give and receive oral sex, the 68 focuses on one partner getting all the action.

This variation of the 69 has one partner lying on her back while the other also lies on his back but on top of the giver with his head tucked between her thighs and his genitals above her mouth. With the receiver’s legs spread open, the giver has full access not just to his penis, but also to the neglected testicles and anus, making the 68 the ultimate blow job experience.

Tips And Tricks To Try When Doing The 68 Sex Position

With the woman on top, the 68 not only makes it conveniently easy for your guy to eat you out but also allows his hands to roam all over your body. Plus, you can turn him on even more, or stimulate your own orgasm further, by masturbating while he’s performing.

For an even kinkier version of the 68 sex position, the man can wrap his legs around her neck and pin her down while she lies spread eagle for him.

If the woman is on the bottom, she is in the perfect spot to lick and suck his penis and testicles (which often get no attention during a traditional blow job) and swirl your tongue in his anus to perform analingus — more commonly referred to as a rim job.

This oral sex position is perfect for its versatility and ability to enhance sexual exploration. With a normal 69, you are restricted to just one form of sexual play, but with this obscure variation, you have a multitude of sexual acts at your disposal to try.

Despite the alluring appearance of the 68, the position is often regarded as rather difficult and challenging.

To make things a bit more comfortable, the receiver should support their body by propping themselves up on their elbows or forearms. However, "netizens" have had reservations in experimenting with this particular position, citing concerns about managing to hold up the weight of their partner.

“I’d love to do this with my bf but I’m super tiny and thin and he’s way bigger and has a lot more muscle weight than me, so I don’t know how well it would work out. Any ideas?” one user asked on a public forum.

Another user helped address this concern by suggesting a slight modification. Try turning on your side if you find supporting your partner's weight uncomfortable or vice versa.

To further aid in comfort, the giver should have a pillow placed behind her head to reduce neck strain.

The 69 is the standard oral sex position that everyone is itching to try, but the 68 offers more opportunities and requires more skill — making it a better alternative for your oral sex fantasy.

While the 69 provides mutual satisfaction, the 68 gives your partner a more heightened oral pleasure experience.
