The missionary positions are the most used by lovers around the world. And for good reason. Lovers can stare at each other during sex, hug, and of course kiss, so it’s no surprise that this dominates the list of sex positions.
But do you know that taking missionary positions and never deviating can erode your relationship and eventually put your bedroom action in the boring category? Men can get used to routine and are creatures of habit, while women like a little adventure and a break from the routine, so if a compromise is not reached, problems can arise.
In this article, we’ll look at some variations of the missionary position with techniques to help you add some spice to your “lovemaking routine.” However, it’s worth remembering that many of these positions can involve a lot of flexibility, so don’t try them if you don’t think you can do it. Always think safety first!
Tips for the missionary position
#1. This first tip is called the V position, in which the guy will gently grab his partner’s feet and lift them toward her. The man then kneels at the point of entry and the rest is left to the imagination.
#2. Using an accessory like a cushion, this technique basically involves placing the cushion under her butt and then having her lift her knees up. This allows for greater penetration and is ideal for more intense sex.
#3. The next method is to intertwine the legs. The woman will place her legs around her or on top of the man’s legs and while she may restrict the man’s movement, she promotes a more swinging type of movement which, again, contributes to better penetration.
#4. This technique is similar to the first tip, but instead of keeping your legs straight, you’ll bend them and rest them against the man’s chest. This can be awkward and may take some practice, but it is very effective. The woman then places her hands on the man’s back to keep them together.
#5. Another awkward but satisfying technique involves the woman lying on her back and placing her legs in the air to form an L-shaped position. The man then has to maneuver under her legs and while it may seem uncomfortable, the pleasure that derived from it is second to none.
#6. This final technique is one of the more interesting missionary positions and we recommend trying it early in the lovemaking process. This is a pair of the above positions where one of the woman’s legs is stretched forward and wrapped around one of the man’s legs. However, she then places her other leg on your chest. How she does it depends on her flexibility. This position can be restrictive, but it’s a great warm-up for some of the more free-moving positions.
