SIDE BY SIDE:

 Now and Zen
Your man doesn't have to be a two-minute Tim to make you want to extend your body-bonding bliss. When on the brink of the Big O, going side-to-side, face-to-face is a surefire pleasure-prolonging pose. "My boyfriend and I use this between our other super-arousing positions," says Helen Gary, 28, a waitress in Cheyenne, Wyoming. "We bring ourselves to the edge of orgasm, come down a little in the side-to-side, then slowly build ourselves back up to an even more incredible climax."
Consider it a horny holding pattern. "There's not a whole lot of motion - that's why it delays climax," says author Paget. But it's perfect for erotic embraces and intimate eye contact. "A couple can feel very close when they're facing each other in this position," agrees Nitya Lacroix, author of The Art of Tantric Sex (DK Publishing, 1997). It's this kind of incredible emotional ecstasy that makes you laugh, cry, and come all at the same time.
To up the intensity, get into a gentle pelvic rhythm (so he doesn't go soft on you) and look into each other's eyes while taking natural, deep breaths.
