Common
Sexual Positions
There are no right or wrong ways to
have sex. But, arguably, there are some techniques and positions that get
your juices flowing more than others.
Having sex, or sexual intercourse,
refers to any physical intimacy between people, but it is commonly used to
describe the insertion of the erect male member into the female vagina.
Sex can be wild and energetic, or
soft and subtle which can be performed in a variety of ways. The most
common sexual positions are:
- Missionary Position.
So called because of a story that this sex position was taught by
Christian missionaries as the only “proper” sex position. The
woman lies on her back, her man on top. The advantage of this position
is that both partners can see each other eye to eye. You can have
relatively deep penetrations which can be combined with kissing and
caressing. Though it supposedly produces the quickest male orgasm, it is
a bit uncomfortable for the woman (with man’s weight upon her) and
tiring for the man (who must support his weight with his arms and
knees).
-
- Doggy Style.
Or in Latin,
coitus more ferarum
"sex in the manner of beasts." It is similar with the mating positions
of horses and dogs, hence the rather animalistic term. The man
penetrates her woman from behind, while she crouches on all fours,
facing down. Although penetration is quite deep, achieving alignment
takes practice.
-
- Cowgirl.
Also known as woman-on-top, it derives form the image of a cowgirl
riding a bucking bronco. The man lies on his back while the woman is on
top of him, with his body between her legs. With this position, it is
possible for both parties to see and caress each other. This time the
woman takes control while the man enjoys the glorious view from the
bottom.
-
- Spoon.
In this position, the man and the woman lie side by side, with the
woman’s back pressed against the man’s front. The man guides his penis
into her vagina from the rear. There is full-body contact in this
position allowing the couple to cuddle one another. Although,
penetration is quite shallow and there is little visual stimulation for
either party.
-
- 69 Sex Position.
Also known by its French name soixante-neuf. The couple lie on
top of the other upside-down (like the number 69), allowing for
simultaneous oral sex.
-
Other sexual positions include
sitting, kneeling, standing, and non-penetration or low-penetration sex,
with the penis stimulated between legs, thighs, breasts, or armpits.
Try to mix and match. Experiment on
different positions with varying rates and rhythms to find out what works
for you best. Keep the fires of passion burning alive by adding new
excitements and sexual surprises that’ll keep you and your partner wanting
for more. |
