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.
