The missionary is arguably one of the most famous kamasutra sex positions. Often considered to be a too classic position or even downright boring, it nevertheless has several advantages and can be declined in different variants. Here are a few.

The missionary is one of the most famous face-to-face sexual positions, and the most used in our current societies. Indeed, it is considered as a “natural” position, or at least of which one thinks intuitively when one imagines a relationship.

It concerns both heterosexual couples and homosexual couples. The two partners are lying down, facing each other: in the case of a mixed couple, the man is on top of the woman. By resting on his elbows and knees, he can then penetrate the woman, positioned below him, with the legs more or less apart. This position is just as suitable for vaginal penetration as for anal penetration.

In the missionary position, the two people are face to face. In addition to being able to look at yourself and therefore witness the emotions and pleasure on your partner’s face, you can also kiss them, hug them, etc. Indeed, the missionary is the ideal position for a close melee.

It allows you to be very close to your partner and to be able to vary the contacts: kisses, caresses, spankings, scratches, etc. The person below has their hands free and therefore has access to the back, neck or even the buttocks of the one above: the possibilities are limitless! In addition, the position being relatively comfortable for the two lovers, it allows to be maintained for a certain time, despite a sustained pace, and to be practiced without getting too tired.

As long as the woman is below and she is comfortably stretched out, she can easily find the angle that suits her to stimulate her clitoris and her G-spot. The missionary is indeed a good position to reach orgasm. if you know your body well and know how to orient your partner.

By positioning your pelvis and more or less bending your legs, this position allows you to grip the man’s penis and achieve relatively deep penetration, which will stimulate your G-spot. Although being below, you can also master the back and forth, exercising movements or rotations with your pelvis. This allows you to control the rhythm and adapt it to your desire to reach orgasm more easily.

The missionary is often considered to be an “easy” position. Indeed, it does not require any particular flexibility or acrobatics. However, a simple position does not necessarily mean boredom! As we have seen, this position is ideal for having privileged contact with your partner. He is also criticized for his lack of fantasy: leaving few possibilities for variation of movements, this position can in the long run seem monotonous. The solution to breaking the routine can be to vary the sensations, by experimenting with variations, as presented below.

The position of the missionary can be adapted in different ways, in order to vary the pleasures and sensations.

Use a cushion to raise the pelvis

The first variant is to position a cushion under your kidneys, in order to raise your pelvis and thus have a deeper angle of penetration. This will give your partner better access to your clitoris, which they can stimulate during penetration.

Lift your legs and position them on your partner’s shoulders

A second variant consists of raising your legs to position them on the shoulders of your partner. This position allows very deep penetration. Here, the man fully controls the movement, and therefore allows the woman to let go and concentrate on her pleasure.

Wrap the legs around the hips

Finally, you can also wrap your legs around your partner’s hips until the pelvis is slightly lifted from the bed. Here again, the penetration is relatively deep.
