Question:
Please help me out with sexual positions that won't put pressure on both partners knees. I don't mind pictures but I am not looking for porn.

by Melissa BEE: (05/17/2004)
he most likely successful positions are variations of the woman on top, or rear-entry positions.
I couldn't find any thing better than this info - from your very own own site from the Sex Over Forty Newsletter.
“Spooning” (Rear-Entry Sideways) (see diagram)
Of all the positions for sexual intercourse, this is the gentlest. It not only requires less exertion but also is easiest on the back, the hips and other joints. The woman lies on her side with her back to her partner. He lies alongside her and enters her vagina from behind. In this position, the woman's back rests against her partner's chest as her buttocks press against his pelvic area. He can kiss her back and neck, fondle her breasts and belly as he thrusts. Also within easy reach are her clitoris and mons (the sensitive mound of flesh over the pubic bone). Getting into position may be tricky: If the man has trouble inserting his penis from this angle, his partner can bend forward at the waist to make it easier for him to penetrate. Once penetration is accomplished, the spoon position is smooth sailing. It allows both partners to make love without either having to support the other’s weight, so it is good for those times when you both feel a bit tired — but not too tired to make love. It also is a particularly good position for those who suffer from back pain or arthritis. If knee pain is a problem, small pillows can be placed between the knees to cushion those joints. Conducive as it is to relaxed lovemaking, spooning also allows for more vigorous thrusting if that’s your mood. (1)
Sideways Face-to-Face
In the sideways face-to-face position , you and your partner lie facing each other, legs intertwined. Think of this position as spooning in reverse. Some couples may not feel comfortable having prolonged intercourse in this position because it puts more stress on the back and hips than does spooning. But if you feel like changing positions, you can easily roll over into the missionary without having to pull apart and reconnect. Or, you can start out in the missionary and switch to the sideways position. It is not easy to manually stimulate the clitoris while making love in this position, but there are plenty of other advantages. Both partners have equal freedom of movement and can match each other thrust for thrust. You can move your torsos away from each other to achieve deeper penetration, enjoy lingering kisses, and stroke each other's back and buttocks. This face-to-face position has a friendly aspect that many couples enjoy. (2)
Sitting
Whether you do it on a firm mattress or a comfy chair, this can be an exciting change of pace from horizontal lovemaking. Choose a well-cushioned chair that is secure enough to support your combined weight and wide enough so that neither of you feels cramped. Then, one partner sits in the chair and the other gets on top. This position is much easier if the male is the seated partner. With the man seated, she straddles his lap, either facing forward or away from him. She can then move up and down or back and forth with him inside her. Facing him, she can maneuver herself so that her clitoral area rubs against his pubic bone, increasing her chances of orgasm. If she faces away, he can still touch her breasts and her behind. He also can reach around to play with her clitoris. Either way, the non-seated partner does most of the “work” because the seated one has little freedom of movement. Someone with back trouble would be most comfortable as the sitting partner, using a small pillow to support the lower back. You can also try this in bed with the woman on top. With a pillow behind him for support, he sits with his back against the headboard, legs extended flat out and slightly parted with her kneeling above. As with sex in a chair, the woman is the active one. (3)
As a variation of this if you have a sofa and an ottoman (a armless and backless chair) - you can butt the ottoman (two if you can get them) up to the sofa, and the male lies down on them and the female straddles him, whilst standing on the floor with knees slightly bent.
