Hi folks! Slightly sensitive subject—I’ve started sleeping with a new partner (both of us female, 20s). She has a relatively new EDS/hypermobility diagnosis that primarily affects her hips/legs and hasn’t slept with anyone before. I know to a certain extent “try things out and communicate” is the only way to see what works for certain, but I also don’t want to experiment with positioning and the like and end up really hurting her in the process. For context, she’s typically the ”receiving/bottoming“ partner. I’ve spoken with her about her experiences/preferences but this is relatively new for her too and she’s not too sure what might be a good idea. So, I was wondering if folks here might be willing to share their advice on positioning that feels good and things a partner w/o EDS can do to take some strain off their partner. Thank you all in advance!
Edit: Thank you so much everyone for the replies!! I‘m feeling way more confident I can keep her safe and comfortable with everything mentioned here. Please keep them coming I’m writing all of this advice down 📝📝📝
