Most Women Prefer The Missionary Position
In a recent study 45% of the women polled claimed that their favorite sexual position is missionary. On the other hand the majority of men rank it at #3. Everyone’s sexual preference is going to vary to some extent, but it seems like the old classic is still rocking someone’s boat.
Why Some Women Love The Missionary Position
It is easy to see why many women prefer the missionary position. This position makes for excellent eye contact. Bonding is an essential part of the love making process for women. They yearn for that intimate contact where the focus is as much on attraction as it is sexual satisfaction. Most women want to gaze into the eyes of their lover and the missionary position highlights that desire.
Why Men Don’t Like It As Much
Many men enjoy the missionary position as well and for many of the same reasons. The problem is it is not the most comfortable position for men. In traditional form it can be awkward. However, there is something hot about the opportunity to be on top and in control. Most men seem to prefer the woman on top, not because they are lazy, but because there is something sexy about the woman being in control. Men also prefer “doggie style” over the missionary position. It is all about the sexual stimulation.
No Wrong or Right Answer
Whether the missionary position is good or bad is in the eye of the beholder. The man can create different sensations in the missionary position by simply making a few adjustments. He can try lifting her legs high or lifting one leg at a time. He can open the legs wide or hold them together. He can also thrust from different angles. The right position is the one that satisfies.
Final Word
The missionary position is an old classic and will continue to stand the test of time as a favorite sexual position. There is something sensual and intimate about the position that cannot be ignored. It may not be the most comfortable position of all for either the man or woman, but the bonding opportunities are immense and the thrusting ability can be superb and those are very important factors to most.
