Sex position for comfort

Finding the best sex position takes creativity and experimentation. Many people are looking for new sex positions, curious about the most popular sex positions, or trying to find sex positions that are comfortable and functional. Learning about sex positions can be made much easier by seeing images of sex positions.

The illustrated sex positions in this gallery cover basic sex positions, all demonstrated through the assistance of our wooden models (lets call them A & B). Remember that the best sex position is the one that is physically comfortable, and allows you do what you want.

Why such a paradox? Are we afraid to admit that we secretly crave something more exciting, while we're bored with the missionary but we do it because we think it is what our partner wants, without having ever actually asked them? It does seem strange, but sex is a personal and mysterious thing, and what couples say they want in surveys seems very different to what they actually do in the bedroom. Maybe the idea of rear entry and woman on top seem good because of their raw animal lust for men and the assumed position of power for women, but what men and woman actually want during sex is to feel intimate and connected with their partner.

This may be why the missionary is the most common position couples actually use, for it certainly allows for great intimacy in the form of eye contact and full skin-to-skin contact and the ability to kiss and hold each other close. Also, some women seem to like the slight sense of being trapped or dominated by their partner if he is lying on top of them, and it can be very exciting for the man if the woman rests her feet on his calf muscles or wraps her legs around his back, drawing him in closely to her.

And yet the missionary has a disadvantage for a woman - her pelvic movements can be restricted, so she cannot thrust as much, which means she must be more passive, and her clitoris is often not stimulated as much as in other positions - at least, it is certainly not available for the man or woman to play with. Unless she can come from vaginal thrusting alone (which is unusual), she may not have an orgasm unless the couple take care to ensure she gets one during foreplay or after intercourse.
