Down to basics: two common sex positions

Nov 2, 2008 by Dr. Majoe Juan Badiola

common_sex_positions.jpgOne great thing about us humans is how we can get creative when it comes to lovemaking positions. Most mammals can’t do much beyond the doggy style because of the shape of their reproductive organs. Yet despite all the sexual positions we can experiment with, there are two that are most common to us: Missionary (man-on-top) and Cowgirl (woman-on-top). Find out why these are among the most popular positions.

The Missionary position
There is a belief that it is called Missionary because it has been described by the Church as the most correct and purest position for sex.

In this most popular position, the woman lies on her back with her legs spread and folded into the air. The male, who is on top, then inserts his member into her vagina. Since they are face-to-face, this allows them to observe each other’s expressions better, getting them all the more turned on.

This is the ideal position for a male with a short penis because it locks the organ into the vagina thoroughly, so it does not slip out. Furthermore, this position allows for kissing with natural comfort. One important advantage it gives a woman is how it allows the male organ to rub the clitoris better, bringing her more pleasure.

Among the downsides of this position is the possibility that a woman may become too tired from bearing the man’s weight. This position also does not allow the couple to see each other’s body and makes it difficult for the woman to touch her clitoris as she wishes. Feminists also believe this position reduces females to sex toys because this method gives total control only to males.

The Cowgirl position
In this position the man lies on his back and the woman sits on his erect member. The woman pumps up and down until the man ejaculates and she gets her orgasm. Feminists prefer this position because the woman has the active role. This is prescribed for men with disabilities since it allows them to rest completely.

This position allows couples to caress each other during the act, and they have more visual stimulation from each other’s body. The woman can also reach and stimulate the testicles, while the man can easily touch her clitoris.

The major disadvantage of this position is how as the woman pumps, the penis can slip out repeatedly, disturbing momentum. Also, this position makes some men feel inferior.

There are countless other sexual positions you can try to suit your preference and sexual advancement. Just remember that both of you should enjoy it, and it should not put your health and safety at risk. If you are feeling more adventurous, try visiting hotels with “themed rooms,” which are designed to promote artistic coital positions.
