Tower

How to take it

Kneel on a cushion and sit back on your heels, knees and thighs pressed together. Your upper body rises, your chest opens, your shoulders stay low. Cross your wrists in front of you, at waist height, as if they were bound, hands relaxed. Your chin stays level, eyes lowered.

What it says

In the Gorean tradition, it is a service position with no sexual connotation, the closed counterpart of Nadu (see /positions/nadu/). The knees pressed together are its distinctive code; the crossed wrists say that you are ready to be bound, without being bound.

Variants

• Hands flat on the thighs, palms down, as in most BDSM lists.
• Hands resting on the knees.
• A cushion between your buttocks and heels, to ease the knees and ankles.
