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.
