What’s not to love about sparks flying in the bedroom? However, going with only a few tried and tested positions, sex could get monotonous.

Lie down on your back, raise your legs, and let your partner kneel down in front of you. Then, he spreads your legs apart in a wide V (hence the name victory), and penetrates while kneeling. “This posture is especially great for women, since it stimulates the G-spot and clitoris. Not only will it give him maximum pleasure since the penetration is deeper, it maximises your pleasure as well,” says Dr Jayanti Kabir, a Kochi-based gynaecologist and fertility expert.

Janhavi K Sriram*, a 23-year-old software coder from Bangalore says, “I tried this out with my boyfriend, and it was great fun. It gave us equal leverage and control, and we could also observe the act of having sex, which can be a real turn-on.”
