| WORLD OF SEX POSITIONS |

Genesis: -- The Missionary Position |
| People seem to be obsessed with positions. There are
literally thousands of books written on the subject each with new
ways to become the ultimate Don Juan. Although positions are a
wonderful way to add spark to a relationship, you should know that
it takes a whole lot more than good acrobatics to make a great
lover. Good positioning in bed is like breakfast cereal is to
breakfast: fun sexual positions are a healthy part of a complete
sexual experience. Romance, good communication, patience, physical
energy, atmosphere and a person you feel comfortable with are
together far more important for great lovemaking. That said-
exploration and the willingness to try new things is important to a
dynamic and lasting sexual relationship.
That Wonderful Missionary Position:
Perhaps the best known position in the Western world, The Missionary
has often been thought of as unadventurous and amateurish. Nothing
could be farther from the truth! In this very tender and intimate
position the man is on top laying down and facing his partner. The
full body contact felt in the missionary position gives a unique
level of closeness between the two partners which is heightened by
the ability to kiss, caress and hold each other close during coitus.
The drawbacks of such a position have largely to do with the
position of the female. Her pelvic movements are extremely
restricted which means that she plays a more passive role. This
limited freedom is unappealing to many women. Yet, the missionary
position allows for easy entry, deep penetration and uncompromised
intimacy.

The Missionary Position Described |
| The female lies on her back with her legs spread
apart. The male then lowers himself on top of the female with his
arms supporting his weight. From this position the male has the
freedom to thrust or make circular movements with his thighs. If he
lowers himself closer to her and rests some of his weight on top of
her body, his pubic bone can provide gentle clitoral stimulation.
The female can thrust her middle body towards the man using the
support of her legs, or grasp the man from behind controlling
somewhat his thrusting movements.

Adding to the Missionary Position 1: Lifting
Legs |
| Once you and your partner are in the missionary
position, you can try many variations which will give different
sensations. The first is that the woman can lift and bend her legs
slightly with her feet flat on the mattress. Many women find this
position more comfortable than the traditional missionary position.
It allows for greater access to the vagina which means that both
partners will enjoy more intense stimulation. This position can be
further enhanced if the woman can put her feet on her partner's
buttocks. Adding a particularly delightful feel for the female as
the male's pubic bone gently rubs against her clitoris. This is only
one slight variant to the traditional position but this simple
change will have effects on the way you both feel.

Adding to the Missionary Position 2: Locking
Legs |
| For those of you who want to experience deeper
penetration than the previous position, it can be attained quite
easily. In this case the woman raises her legs higher and locks them
around her partner. The higher she can raise her legs, the deeper
the penetration because access to the vagina is better facilitated.
If she has the flexibility to lock her legs around her partner then
she can contribute to his leverage by squeezing him close to her or
just hold him with her thighs. Many men find that the feel of their
partner's legs around them to be a real turn on. One significant
drawback of this position is that some men find it results in
hurried orgasms. For this reason we might suggest that you leave
this position towards the end of your lovemaking.

Adding to the Missionary Position 3: Over the
shoulders |
| One of the great positions in lovemaking is when the
woman places her legs on her partner's shoulders, on both sides of
his head. From this position lovers can attain the deepest possible
penetration. Be aware that this position can allow too deep a
penetration, causing irritation for the woman. The man should always
take his cues from his partner and move slowly. The further back her
legs are the deeper the possible penetration.

Adding to the Missionary Position 4: Kneeling
male |
| Are you feeling a bit adventurous? Although the
previous positions have focused on comfort or depth of penetration
we have another which promises a unique feeling. The female lies on
her back on the bed with the male kneeling and sitting on his ankles
between her thighs. From this position he grabs her thighs and
brings her to him. Her bottom and lower back are elevated while her
ankles or lower legs rest on his shoulders. To add to her comfort
you can place a pillow under her lower back and a couple under her
head. Unfortunately there can still be some muscle strain
experienced by the woman so this position can not be held for a
prolonged period. The female can massage her clitoris manually in
this position, or her partner can apply pressure with his thumb, as
her weight is supported by the man and the bed. An interesting
aspect of this position is that the man can view the penetration
easily which for many is an exciting sight. It also allows the man
to deliver a sensual massage of his partner’s stomach, breasts and
arms. This is not a position designed for speedy movements or rapid
lovemaking, but rather a slow and intimate encounter.

Adding to the Missionary Position 5: Using your
bed |
| The elevation of the bed makes it possible for some
very interesting positions. In this position the female lies on the
bed with her legs draped over the edge and her feet resting on the
floor. The male then kneels on the floor between her thighs. The
success of this position depends heavily on the elevation of the
bed, which for some is not quite at the height required. One of the
beautiful things about this position is the range of movement
possible for both partners. A woman has more control over movement
as she can press herself against him to add to the penetration or
rotate her hips for interesting stimulation. Likewise the male has
an unparalleled amount of leverage and freedom of movement.

Adding to the Missionary Position 6: Legs get
together |
| Most women enjoy the missionary position with legs
apart. This is not necessary and many couples prefer positions where
the woman can keep her legs closed. Added stimulation and unique
sensations are usually what result. When her legs are closed, a
woman’s vagina tightens around her partner’s penis giving more
intense stimulation to both partners. This position also forces the
man to enter from a sharper angle towards the clitoris adding more
stimulation for the woman. The man in this position may also close
his legs, placing all is weight on his partner. Careful here, some
women appreciate this feeling, others are burdened by it!

Adding to the Missionary Position 7: Tantric
Essences |
| This is an enjoyable and very special position often
found in Tantric literature. In this position the woman lies on her
back on the bed. Her partner kneels sitting on his ankles close to
her buttocks. From here he hoists both of her legs onto one of his
shoulders. A little bit of guidance from his partner and you are
both in a deliciously unique position. This one is not for those who
have problems with flexibility. You will both be surprised at the
unique angle of penetration which many women find delightful. The
penis massages the side wall of the vagina which does not get the
same attention with other positions. If the female wants to try
massaging the opposite wall of the vagina then all you must do move
her legs to the male's other shoulder. The movement in this position
is mostly up to the male. Some men may find it difficult to thrust
with both legs on their shoulders but with time it becomes easier.
Allow yourself some time to become accustomed to this position
because it is a tricky one to master.
