4 Shabbat Sex Positions to Get Your Double Mitzvah On
1. CHALLAH BACK GIRL
Bread’s not the only thing that’s gonna rise tonight!
No Shabbat table is complete without two big, beautiful, braided loaves of challah, an inspiration for Sexy Time both in looks and symbolism.
There are as many interpretations of why we braid challah as there are sex positions to assume. One of the sweeter interpretations however, says the braided strands of dough resemble entwined arms, symbolizing love. Awww! Another interp says that the braiding is to remind us of the essential value of unity. #Echad, y’all.
So when the sun slips (over the horizon) into sumn’ a little more comfortable this week on Friday night, grab your cutie and find a position that lets you entwine every possible limb as you two practice some good old fashioned unity.
It’s Shabbat! No better time to come together.
2. THE SHEKINAH
Sit like the Queen on her throne.
A big part of Kabbalat Shabbat service on Friday night is welcoming in the Shabbat Kallah, aka the Sabbath Bride. The expansive, compassionate energy of Shabbat is said to emanate from the Shekinah, the feminine aspect of the Divine and the Queen of Shabbat.
This Shabbat, get in touch with your inner majesty by sitting atop your rightful throne (your boo boo LAP). You run the show, call the shots, set the pace, control the speed, and revel in your resplendent, flawless sacred beauty. WomanQueen! This is YOUR time to shine.
3. THE DIGITAL DETOX
Those fingers of yours must be exhausted from texting all week. Come sunset on FriYAY, quit tapping out messages on that cold, hard smartphone screen, fire up the Airplane Mode, and for the next 24 hours, keep those digits busy a few surfaces that are way more fun, KnoWhatWereSayin’?
4. THE EASY RESTER
The 100% best way to honor the Divine on Shabbat is to do nothing at all. Which is to say, to take a big old resteroo. Bring those lazy Day of Rest vibes into your Shabbat sex by getting into a position that’s the least effort humanly possible for both you and your honey. We’re a big fan of big/little spoon sex for it’s ability to produce this particular effect.
