Heterosexual Positions

Heterosexual Positions

Usually, people are most comfortable with the so-called missionary position, face to face, guy on top. There is a variation called high riding where the guy moves forward over the woman’s body so his pelvis rests on the clitoral area. He rocks rather than thrusts, keeping constant friction on the clitoris to bring the woman to orgasm.

Woman on top is still often face to face with the woman controlling the movement. A variation is the woman turned around facing away from the man, which may place more pressure on the front wall of the vagina and that elusive G-spot. Guys like the view.

The man entering the woman from behind her does the same thing pressure wise, except he controls the movement. There are numerous variations of this position—the woman on her hands and knees, face down on her stomach with one leg raised to ninety degrees, sitting on the guys lap, which can be forward or backward.

Positions for Physical Problems

The from-the-back positions are helpful when expanding stomachs—pregnancy, weight gain—or bad backs, etc. get in the way of the missionary position. Another helpful position, when face to face is difficult or when the guy has a smaller penis, is the woman on her side, one leg around the back of her partner and the other on the bed in front of him. He holds himself up on hands and knees. This can be done with the guy standing but some kind of support is needed for the woman’s bottom leg. There are sex swings that hang from the ceiling and strap the woman into position. The guy with the bad back just has to move the swing rather than use his back muscles.

Experimenting

If you’re agile enough, entering from the front or back, both standing, can be interesting. If you’re in the shower, make sure your footing is secure. Draped over furniture, including the bed, one partner standing—usually the guy—is entertaining. It’s adult play time. I’m sure everyone has imaginative stories.

Sorry guys, women like to talk to their female friends about such things to share information and validate that their good experiences and mishaps aren’t out of the norm. If male friends talk about their sex lives, it tends to be more a competition, one-upmanship. Be honest, guys, how many of those stories are truthful?
