Missionary Sex Position | Sex Book

The “chicken soup” of sex positions, the Missionary is an old favorite enjoyed by many couples. In fact, it’s probably the first position you ever tried and might still be your go-to sex position when you just want to experience something familiar. Both partners enjoy this sex position!

HOW TO DO IT The Missionary position is often also called “man on top” and rightly so. The male partner assumes the dominant position on top of the woman, who is lying on her back. Her legs are spread enough so that her lover can thrust, but they’re not raised up or resting on his shoulders. While she can thrust some, the primary work done here is by the man.

WHERE TO DO IT The sofa, bed, and floor are all great locations for this position.

PROPS YOU’LL NEED A pillow under her lower back can help support her hips and tilt her pelvis so that penetration is more comfortable and pleasurable.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL 

HER O-METER :She gets almost nothing physically out of the Missionary position, unless she’s already very turned on from a lot of foreplay. It’s just not the optimal position for either clitoral or internal stimulation.

HIS O-METER :He fares much better in the Missionary position than she does, simply because he can control the speed and depth of penetration, and he is able to orgasm how and when he wants to. For some guys, however, the Missionary can be little better than getting it on with a blow up doll if their partners are just not that into it.

MAKE IT HOTTER . . . Leave the lights on and gaze into each other’s eyes. This type of intimacy is totally hot and allows both partners to fully connect emotionally, which is not always so easy to do!
