Positions for big height difference?

My BF and I have been fooling around for awhile now and have been talking a lot about going all the way. We are both vigins. One of our mutual concerns is the height difference (I'm 5'2", he's 6'5", both physically fit). Does anyone else have a similar situation in that respect? I was just wondering what positions, etc., you have found that work well. Thanks.

Also, on the "Sexual Pleasure ~ Orgasms & More" Board, they post weekly sex positions that when you click onto will show you a pictorial of two people performing the position. You might get some ideas from these. You can also buy the "Kama Sutra" book at any local bookstore (Barnes & Noble, etc). Many, many positions and it's also a very handy-dandy and quite interesting and arousing book to have in your home (or um, maybe in your bedroom). It would make a nice gift to your boyfriend and yourself for your new beginnings!

Good luck and above all else, have fun!

a good position for you guys would be him sitting on the couch and you straddling him on top. it will likely be conducive for kissing, where in other positions it might be a stretch.

my husband is 6'2" and i'm 5'1". we don't have problems with most positions. it's a bit hard to maintain eye and lip contacts in missionary position. but missionary might be one of the more comfortable pose for you to start with since you're a virgin. good communication is important, let him know how you're feeling. if he's big, try wrapping your legs loosely around his hip, place your ankles on his lower back or butt, i find that helps me "open up" a bit. take it slow and ask him to stop if you feel really uncomfortable. don't be under the pressure to "go fully all the way" at first attempt.

Ha ha ha! I have the exact same problem! My BF is an entire foot taller than I am, but I loooove it! I can tell you right now that "stand-up sex" is a physical impossibility for us. The only way to sort of get around it is for you to sit on a table/counter and he can stand up in front of you. For me, that is pretty much the only position (that I know of, at least) that we are unable to do. We haven't really tried THAT many, (I personally think that some of them are just rediculous. When it comes down to it, sex is sex and you do what you know works the best.) So all in all, I don't really think height difference is all that inhibiting during sex. Good luck!

My hubby and I practice this position a lot. He's 6'3 and I'm 5'7 - not as drastic of a height difference, but that position seems perfect.
