What is the Santa's Lap sex position?
The Santa’s Lap sex position brings the holiday spirit straight to the bedroom—Santa hats are optional but highly encouraged. In this position, the receiving partner sits sideways on their lover’s lap, wrapping their arms around their neck, while the giving partner sits on the edge of the bed. The giver enters from underneath, making it the perfect opportunity to whisper sweet (or not-so-sweet) nothings about what you really want for Christmas.
Why is it worth trying?
Santa’s Lap puts you close enough to feel every sensation. The face-to-face position ensures a deep connection, while the slow, steady movement lets you take control of the rhythm. Plus, it’s a great way to indulge in some cheeky holiday role play. Bonus points if your partner goes all out with the Santa suit.
How to do it
To try Santa’s Lap, have your partner sit on the edge of the bed or a chair, then straddle them sideways, with your legs hanging off the side. Wrap your arms around their neck and slowly lower yourself as they enter you from underneath. Take your time with slow, sensual movements, and feel free to lean in close to whisper what you’d love to find under the tree—or remind them what you’ve earned for being on the nice (or naughty) list this year.
Hot tip: Here's how to make it extra spicy
Why stop at just the Santa hat? Get freaky and festive by adding some holiday flair. Surprise your partner by wrapping yourself in holiday ribbons or bows, letting them ‘unwrap’ you before settling into Santa’s Lap. You can also throw in a little role play—imagine Santa’s beard brushing against your skin while you take the reigns.
A Christmas you’ll never forget? We think so!
