Missionary Position


The missionary position is probably the most widely used of all positions. The man has nearly total control during intercourse. The woman can only move her legs to change the angle and depth of penetration. This position offers easy eye contact, kissing, deep penetration and a high level of clitoral stimulation. The man lies on top of the woman and he guides or she guides his erect penis into the vagina. In this position he can control his thrusting, slowing down or speeding up to control when he orgasms.

She can spread her legs or wrap them around his buttocks for some control over his thrusting.

Another and most pleasurable option for the woman who likes a great deal of clitoral stimulation, is for the man once he has penetrated to move his body forward a little. This brings his pubic area over on top of hers. Instead of the man thrusting in and out, the partners almost grind their pubic areas together. In this position many men will last a little longer and many women will have an intense orgasm from the direct clitoral stimulation.

Couples can vary this position by having the man kneel or stand at the side of the bed and then push up into his partner.

The couple can adjust the angle of penetration by using a cushion or pillow.The woman can pull her knees close to her chest and put her feet on the man's shoulders. This allows extremely deep penetration.

Stand and Carry Position

The man stands, holding his partner in his arms. She wraps he legs round his waist and her arms round his shoulders. She can move against him by pulling herself up and down, and he can help her with his arms. This position can be assumed from sitting. It can, of course, be adopted in a very confined space, but it is quite strenuous. From this position you can return to sitting, or the man can gently lower his partner on to a bed or preferably a table, where thrusting can continue without so much exertion.

Standing Sex Position

Both parties stand, using the wall as support. This position is often used when the desire to make love strikes unexpectedly. Part of the excitement lies in the fact that it is not easy to move in this position.

Spread Eagle Sex Position

In this rear entry position, the woman lies face down with the man on top of her. She spreads her legs and he supports his weight on his arms. If she raises her bottom off the bed slightly, perhaps with the aid of a pillow under her hips, then it will be possible to achieve deeper penetration. The man can also lie with his full weight on his partner, from which position it is easy to roll into 'spooning'.
