Your Most Asked Questions About the Cradle Position

Is Cradle actually beginner-friendly or just marketed that way? It’s genuinely perfect for beginners — you start seated and comfortable, then build intimacy from there without acrobatics.

How’s this different from just sitting on someone’s lap during sex? The assisted support system and intentional positioning create deeper penetration and way more intimate connection than casual lap sitting.

What if my legs get tired or we can’t find a comfortable angle? Smart pillow placement solves most issues, plus the kneeling variation gives you the same intimacy with less leg strain.

Does height difference matter in this position? Actually works better for height differences than most positions since the seated foundation lets you adjust easily.

Can we incorporate toys without ruining the intimate vibe? The positioning gives you perfect access for external play while keeping that face-to-face connection that makes Cradle so addictive.
