The Maya were deeply religious, and worshiped a many Gods related to nature, such as the sun, the moon, rain and corn.

The Maya society had aristocratic roles (Kings) , or “kuhul ajaw” (holy lords), who claimed to be related to gods and followed a hereditary succession. They were thought to serve as mediators between the gods and people on earth, and performed the elaborate religious ceremonies and rituals so important to the Maya culture.

You may also know them from the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar that predicted all our deaths in 2012. But since that didn't happen we can still enjoy the comforts of our hammocks and some hammock sex for they also invented the hammock kamasutra.

Should you be feeling a bit adventurous these deeply religious Mayans did like to experiment with some erotic sex positions, especially in hammocks.

What types of hammocks are optimal for sex?

As you may have guessed (or learned from experience), hammock sex can be a bit tricky. And while you can probably make any type of hammock work, some are just better than others.

Traditional Hammocks, such as this luxury kingsized cotton hammock by La Siesta are all great options. Just make sure you hang them high enough so you don't hit the ground, but low enough so your feet can touch for stability. A more rugged 2-person traditional hammock is the 2-person, waterproof Kammock Roo double, which is great if you're looking to get it on during a camping trip.

Pods, such as the Hearthsong Hugglepod, and tree tents such as the Tentsile Stingray are options if you're looking for a bit more privacy. Both are designed to hold three people, if that's what you're into.

Finally, for the most adventurous, a yoga swing provides all sorts of availability. The DASKING Premium Aerial Yoga Hammock Kit is our top pick in this category. Just check out the product photos, and you can imagine the possibilities.

Now that we've covered the proper tools for the job, onto the sex positions themselves.
