The missionary position is face to face sexual intercourse and is said to be called this because it was the position promoted by missionaries as being the only acceptable way to have sex since all other ways were thought to be too animal like. The woman lies on her back with the man on top.
The missionary position enables partners to face one another and look into each others eyes during sex. The bodies are often linked around one another to add a lot of sensual feel, especially for the woman.
The missionary position allows for easy entry with deep penetration and clitoral stimulation. The woman is in a submissive/passive position. It allows for a lot of intimacy.Variations
Simple Missionary
Most common position; man on top with direct penetration; woman on bottom, legs open. Her knees might be bent or straight.
Side entry missionary
Variant on the missionary position; woman on side; man kneeling penetrates from behind/side.
Deckchair
The woman's legs are back against her body, with her calves over each of the mans shoulders. This position allows men to attain the deepest possible penetration but that can be too deep and cause pain and even damage. It stands a good chance of stimulating the g spot.
The man can either lean on his hands or if the woman is flexible or stout enough not to be hurt taking his weight on her folded legs he can grasp her ankles for a feeling of extra control and domination.
Peace Sign
Woman on bottom, legs closed. By keeping her legs together the woman gets extra stimulation and if the bodies match well this will cause great sensations. When her legs are closed, the vagina tightens around the penis, ensuing more intense stimulation for both.
The man almost certainly has to have his legs on the outside of hers.
This position also means the man enters from a sharper angle toward the clitoris which can be good. However there is no chance of touching the g spot which may or may not be good depending how sensitive the woman is.
Butterfly
Woman lies on her back, man stands and lifts her pelvis for penetration.External Links
