nirvana position

The nirvana position, also known as closed missionary is a face-to-face sex position that resembles missionary posiion, in which both partners tend to be lying, but the receiving partner's legs are closed and the giving partner's legs are usually planted on the sides of the receiving partner.

A variant of this position has the receiving partner's legs bent straight upwards instead, and is known as the mermaid position when this variant is performed on the edge of a raised surface.
