Here comes that generalisation
again, and with it the knowledge that at
least one reader will say, "But I'm not
like that". Okay, let's say that many - not
all - women enjoy these lovemaking
positions.
Call us indulgent, but most men enjoy
seeing their partners having an orgasm.
Here are a few of the positions many
women find gives them the most
pleasure, along with some tips for men
on maximising the enjoyment for both of
you.
Astride
You lie on your back, perhaps with a
pillow under your bottom. Once she's on
top of you and you're inside her, you
can tilt your pelvis forward a bit, which
allows her to grind hers more directly
against it. Many women find this a
reliable way of having a clitoral orgasm,
especially if they lie on top of you.
She
may prefer you to lie still and let her
control the rhythm of her movement.
Don't worry - it'll be pleasant for you
too.
Your partner may also prefer to remain
erect, resting her weight on her hands
while moving rhythmically up and done.
This enables her to move her G-spot
against the head or shaft of your penis.
This position can be hugely enjoyable
position for both of you. Your partner
may heighten the sensation for both of
you by squeezing her kegel muscles.
Exotic sex manuals talk about women
turning around while astride the man,
but feats like these have more value as a
novelty than heightened pleasure. Try it,
but don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t
work out. There are plenty of other
options.
The intimate missionary
It's a much-maligned position, but many
women love it. It allows full-length, skin-
to-skin touching and eye contact. Try
putting your arms around your partner
and holding her close to you. You can
also hold yourself up on your arms and
move inside her, very slowly and
rhythmically, rather than frantic rodeo-
type thrusting. Try putting a pillow under
her bottom.
Making a stand
For this you'll need a very sturdy surface,
at about waist height. If it's a cold, hard
or rough surface, your partner will
appreciate a towel between it and her
bottom.
Some men go on about the
value of a rumbling, vibrating tumble-
drier to add extra sensation.
If you're
comfortable with your partner calling
out the name of the manufacturer while
in the throes of passion, switch on the
machine.
The reason so many women like this
position is that it allows contact with the
G-spot.
Some women find it the only
position in which they can ejaculate,
often a highly erotic experience for both
partners. She should probably be fully
aroused before you enter her, as you'll
be penetrating her deeply.
Depending on where you do this - a
fallen tree in the middle of the
Okavango, against a lifeboat on a cruise
liner, under a full moon in Venice -
there'll also be an element of danger or
intrigue. So this isn't the time for
lingering, all-night intimacy, but rather
the cut-to-the-action sort. Gauge your
partner's mood right and your have a
recipe for brief, explosive sex. It’s no
replacement for the lingering, romantic
sort, just a whizz-bang alternative.
Spoons in the sack
This is a slow, intimate position that can
feel enormously erotic. Your partner lies
on her side and you nestle in her back,
letting you guide your penis inside her.
There's no eye contact unless you have a
strategically placed mirror (Not a bad
idea if your partner fancies it), but it
does allow you to rub and stroke her
body and to kiss, lick and nuzzle her
neck, back and ears. And of course, you
can give her a running commentary on
how good she makes you feel.
Stoop lively now
Not all women are wild about “doggy
style” as it can seem a bit impersonal,
but if the mood is right and she's
confident that you're not fantasising
about her sister it can be very exciting.
You can do this standing, kneeling or
lying down. For the latter you can put a
pillow under her pelvis, and enter her
vagina from behind, resting your weight
on your hands.
Standing or kneeling affords the deepest
penetration, and you can hold your
partner's hips in your hands and control
your thrusting with her pelvic
movements and yours.
