These caresses will add a little sparkle to your relationship, and you won’t need any sex-shop props or acrobatic skills to experience these new sensations. Any mirror, large or small, will do.
Here are the reasons why you might like it.
Participants receive not only physical but also visual pleasure.
During sex, eye contact can be just as pleasurable as gentle touching and intimate stimulation. Your partner’s flushed face, their hands on your buttocks, the movement of their bodies—all of this only adds to the excitement. Now imagine being able to see even more—and from the most racy angles.
You can look at sex from the outside
If you’re a voyeur and always felt the urge to spy on the process, try doing it in your own bedroom: the reflection can create a rather unusual effect of detachment. It’s like watching a homemade porn video starring yourself. However, there’s no risk of someone hacking your phone and sending the video to friends.
You’ll get the effect of sex in a public place – but in a safe environment.
There’s a flip side, too. If you’ve always wanted an audience for your sex, you don’t necessarily have to shock everyone at the nearest park or movie theater. During intimacy, you can catch your partner’s lustful glances in the mirror—and reach orgasm faster.
This is a chance to get even closer.
Thanks to a mirror, you can see each other’s eyes and observe the pleasure on your partner’s face. Furthermore, you’ll be able to see parts of the body that were previously always hidden. Some claim that the penis appears larger in the reflection—we’re debating the veracity of this theory, but it does make sex in front of a mirror seem more enjoyable.
This is a way to get to know your body better.
Have you ever wondered what you look like during intimacy? It’s time to find out! The experience can be truly captivating: explore your arousal and watch your partner caress you. Regular practice can greatly help overcome insecurities: you’ll see how beloved your body can be, despite all the things you perceive as flaws.
How to prepare for sex in front of a mirror
Choose a suitable mirror
First, gather the necessary equipment. The best option for sex is a large mirror with legs: its position can be adjusted depending on the chosen position and it can be rotated to find the ideal viewing angle.
But if you’re considering buying a mirrored wardrobe to place opposite your bed, be careful. Firstly, the same angle can become boring (you’re not going to move the furniture every time!). Secondly, what can be pleasurable during sex can sometimes cause discomfort when we sleep. That same arousing observer effect can be quite unnerving when you’re looking for relaxation.
If you don’t have a large mirror, you can try a medium-sized one or even a pocket-sized one.
In this case, before intimacy, you will have to tinker a little to find the right angle: you will need to decide whether to see genitals, breasts, or other erogenous zones in the reflection.
Another simple way to use a mirror is to try sex in the bathroom. If you turn on the hot water, you’ll be able to see not only your reflection but also the glass slowly becoming covered in steam, seductively blurring your silhouettes.
There’s one downside to this scenario: in most Russian apartments, the mirror isn’t located opposite the bathtub, but slightly to the side, above the sink. So you’ll have to choose: either sex in the shower or sex in the reflection. To see each other, make love standing up—otherwise, you simply won’t be in the frame.
Wipe the glass
“Is that a new mole or is that a spot on the glass?” – even if the question doesn’t arise during intimacy, small specks of dust and streaks can seriously ruin a perfectionist’s experience. Yes, in the heat of passion, you might overlook the little things. But without distractions, it’s much easier to focus on the process.
Warn your partner
Make it a rule to get your partner’s consent for any sexual activity—even something as innocent as sex in front of a mirror. It may turn out that your partner is self-conscious about their body or simply doesn’t find your idea appealing—in which case, you’ll simply have to accept that choice.
Don’t force or coax in the hopes that insecurities will disappear. Your persistence could cause further trauma, and your reluctance to see yourself in a new light could create new reasons for embarrassment.
What positions to try
A mirror can add variety to sex in any position. Here are just a few ideas.
Missionary position
Place a mirror by the side of your bed so you can see both of your bodies. This is a good starting point and will help you figure out whether you enjoy having sex in front of your own reflection.
Doggy style
Experiment with angles. You can simply place a mirror in front of your faces, but it’s much more engaging to turn it lengthwise across the bed to see your entire body in the reflection. Then, assume your usual position: it will be especially seductive if the recipient arches their back properly.
If you have a medium-sized wall mirror, you can use it in a subtle way. Take it off the wall and place it on the floor. The woman should get on all fours with the mirror underneath her. As your partner thrusts, look down: your gaze will be exposed to her stomach, pubic area, and penis movements.
Lying on your stomach
Get into a doggy-style position, then slowly lower yourself onto your stomach. The man should cover his partner with his body. Place a mirror in front of your faces to ensure maximum eye contact.
This position is suitable for those who want to try sex in front of a mirror but are self-conscious about their body (especially if their stomach is a problem area). To loosen up, a woman can lift her buttocks or breasts, revealing to her partner the parts of her body she finds most attractive.
Horsewoman
For the position where the woman moves while sitting on top of the man, it’s best to place the mirror to the side of the bed. To observe the reflection, you simply need to turn your head. If only your partner wants to spy on the action, place the mirror at the head of the bed.
Use a vacuum stimulator or a small vibrator to further stimulate the clitoris: this will only make the picture more attractive.
Backwards Cowgirl
In this position, the woman also moves while sitting on the man, but her body is turned away from him. Place a mirror at his toes so you can both see the reflection. This position will be especially enjoyable for the person on the bottom: they can watch their partner’s buttocks move up and down, then switch to the racy image in the mirror.
Standing
Position yourself directly in front of a wall mirror. For stability, the recipient should lean against the wall (don’t hold onto the mirror itself, as it could come loose during intense friction).
In this position, you won’t see each other’s genitals, but your faces will be as close to the glass as possible. Even though one partner will be behind you, you’ll be able to establish very close eye contact. Furthermore, in this scenario, the man can additionally stimulate the woman’s clitoris, further arousing her.
When else would a mirror come in handy?
Oral sex
Oral sex can be even more spectacular if the recipient is positioned higher than the partner. During cunnilingus, the woman can sit on a chair with her legs spread, while the man kneels. For oral sex, the positions can be reversed. Another option is for the man to stand and the woman to perform fellatio while kneeling.
The mirror can be placed in front of one person’s face or to the side to provide a clear view for both participants in the process.
Striptease
If you’re looking to add some excitement to your relationship but aren’t ready for drastic measures, you can start with a seductive dance in front of the mirror. Slowly remove your clothes, flirting with your reflection to further arouse your partner.
Masturbation
A partner isn’t even necessary for using a mirror: use the accessory while masturbating with your fingers or toys and explore yourself. A small mirror is best for this purpose: hold it with one hand while you caress yourself with the other.
