What is good about sex in front of a mirror
Such caresses can help add fire to relationships, and in order to experience new sensations, you won't need any props from a sex shop or acrobatic skills. Any mirror will do — whether large or small.
Here are the reasons why you might enjoy it.
Participants receive not only physical but also visual pleasure
During sex, eye contact can provide as much pleasure as gentle touches and stimulation of intimate zones. The flushed face of your partner, their hands on your buttocks, the movement of bodies — all this adds to the excitement. And now imagine that you can see even more — from the most provocative angles.
You can watch sex from the outside
If you lean towards voyeurism and have always wanted to peek at the process, try doing it in your own bedroom: the reflection can create quite an unusual feeling of detachment. It’s as if you are watching a home porn video with yourself in the lead role. However, you are not risking that someone will hack your phone and send the video to acquaintances.
You will get the effect of sex in a public place — but in a safe environment
There is also a downside. If you have always wanted an audience for your sex, it is not necessary to shock the public in the nearest park or cinema. During intimacy, you can catch your partner's greedy gazes in the reflection — and reach orgasm faster.
This is a chance to get even closer
Thanks to the mirror, you can see each other's eyes and observe the pleasure on your partner's face. Moreover, your gaze will reveal body parts that have always remained in the shadows before. Some claim that in the reflection, the penis appears larger — we will leave the validity of this assumption in question but will note that sex in front of a mirror seems only more pleasurable because of this.
This is a way to get to know your body better
Have you ever wondered what you look like during intimate moments? It's time to find out! The experience can be completely thrilling: explore your arousal and watch how your partner caresses you. Regular practice can greatly help in combating complexes: you will see how beloved your body can be, despite everything you consider to be flaws.
How to prepare for sex in front of a mirror
Choose the right mirror
First, figure out the necessary inventory. The best option for sex is a large mirror on legs: its location can be changed depending on the chosen position and rotated to find the perfect angle.
But if you are contemplating buying a mirrored wardrobe to place it opposite the bed, be careful. First, the same angle may become boring (you won't want to move the furniture every time!). Secondly, what may be pleasurable during sex can sometimes cause discomfort when we sleep. That very exciting effect of an observer can be quite nerve-wracking when you want to relax.
If there is no large mirror, you can try a medium or even pocket-sized option.
In this case, before intimacy, you will need to fuss a little to find the right angle: decide whether to see the genitals, breasts, or other erogenous zones in the reflection.
Another simple option for using the mirror is to try sex in the bathroom. If you turn on hot water, you will be able to see not only your reflection but also how the glass slowly becomes covered with steam, alluringly blurring the silhouettes.
The downside of such a scenario is that in most Russian apartments, the mirror is located not opposite the bathtub but slightly to the side, above the sink. So you will have to choose: either sex in the shower or sex in the reflection. To see each other, make love standing — otherwise, you simply won't get into the "frame".
Wipe the glass
“Do you have a new mole or is it a spot on the glass?” — even if such a question doesn’t arise during your intimacy, tiny dust particles and streaks can really spoil the feelings of a perfectionist. Yes, in the heat of passion, you may not pay attention to the details. But when there are no distractions, it is much easier to concentrate on the process.
Inform your partner
Make it a rule to get the consent of the other party for any sexual practice — even something as innocent as sex in front of a mirror. It may turn out that your partner is shy about their body or simply doesn’t see anything attractive in your idea — then you will just have to come to terms with that choice.
Forcing and begging in the hope that complexes will evaporate is unwise. Your persistence may injure even more, and the unwillingness to see themselves from a new angle may create new reasons for embarrassment.
What positions to try
A mirror can diversify sex in any position. Here are just a few ideas.
Missionary position
Place the mirror beside the bed to see your bodies in full. This experience is good for a start and will help understand whether you like having sex in front of your own reflection or not.
Doggy style
Experiment with the angle. You can simply place the mirror opposite your faces, but it is much more interesting to turn it along the bed to see your bodies in the reflection. After that, take your usual position: it will be especially tempting if the receiving partner arches their back well.
If you have a medium-sized wall mirror, it can be used unobviously. Remove it from the wall and place it on the floor. The woman needs to get on all fours so that the mirror is underneath her. When the partner is thrusting, look down: your gaze will reveal the abdomen, pubic mound, and the movements of the penis.
Prone position
Assume the position of doggy style, and then slowly lower yourself onto your stomach. The man should cover the woman with his body. Place the mirror opposite your faces to establish the hottest eye contact.
This position is suitable for those who want to try sex in front of a mirror but are shy about their body (especially if the problematic area is the abdomen). As she relaxes, the woman can lift her buttocks or breasts, showing her partner those body parts she considers the most seductive.
On top
For the position where the woman moves while sitting on the man, it’s better to place the mirror beside the bed. In order to observe the reflection, you will just need to turn your head. If only the female partner wants to sneak a peek at the process, place the mirror at the headboard.
Use a vacuum stimulator or a small vibrator to additionally stimulate the clitoris: this will make the scene even more attractive.
Reverse cowgirl
In this position, the woman also moves while sitting on the man, but her body is turned away from her partner. Place the mirror at the man's toes: then both of you will have access to the reflection. This position will bring special pleasure to the one on the bottom: he will be able to watch how the partner's buttocks move up and down, and then switch to the spicy image in the mirror.
Standing
Stand directly in front of the wall mirror. To feel stable, the receiving partner needs to lean against the wall (do not hold onto the mirror itself, as during strong thrusts it may fall off its mount).
In this position, you will not see each other's genitals, but your faces will be as close as possible to the glass. And despite the fact that one partner will be behind, it will be possible to establish very close eye contact. Moreover, in this scenario, the man can additionally stimulate the woman's clitoris, arousing her even more.
When else will a mirror come in handy
Oral sex
Oral caresses can become even more spectacular if the receiving partner is positioned above the partner. During cunnilingus, the woman can sit on a chair and spread her legs while the man kneels. During fellatio, you can switch places. Another option is for the man to stand while the woman performs oral on her knees.
The mirror can be positioned opposite the face of either participant or at the side to open the view to both participants.
Striptease
If you want to add fire to the relationship but are not ready for decisive measures, you can start with a seductive dance near the mirror. Slowly take off your clothes, flirting with your own reflection to get your partner even more aroused.
Masturbation
To use the mirror, a partner may not be necessary at all: use the accessory during masturbation with fingers or toys and explore yourself. A small mirror is best suited for this purpose: hold it with one hand while caressing yourself with the other.
