Assume the Position
 

This post is for my human sexuality class.

The intent of this post is to kindly inform you (men and women) that all it takes to change a position is moving a single leg, or thrusting at a different angle.

There are the basic positions:
Simultaneous Oral-Genital Contact (e.g. 69)
Male-Superior Coital (e.g. Missionary)
Female-Superior Coital (woman on top)
Lateral-Entry Coital (laying on your sides)
Rear-Entry Coital (e.g. Doggy style)

Any variation of these is classified as a completely different position. The reason for this is because changing the position of any body part or movement means stimulation in a completely different way.

Men: For instance, if you're in the classic Missionary position and your woman requests a change in position, all you need to do is switch your leg (or both) on the inside to the outside. There you go, a completely different position!

Women: For instance, if you're in the classic female-superior position, all you have to do is lift a knee (or both) and you're in a completely different position!

Now people, if your partner requests you change positions, I hope you never have to pause and ask, "What position do you want?" You don't have to stop! Changing positions doesn't have to mean pausing to think hard or have a lengthy discussion on which position to do next (unless you want a breather or something). You don't have to go from female- directly to male-superior. You can make slow adjustments one limb at a time, you'll get there eventually!

Good advice! I like to switch positions a little bit at a time, and the slight variations often makes the sex way more enjoyable than if you stick to one or two positions...

With my wife, we tend to find really good positions for both of us this way. More often than not, it's a slight movement during that creates new position.

I can't think of a time where I've been having sex and my partner suddenly said, "OK... let's change 'em up."

It has always been a fluid movement from one position to another. Typically the change is brought because a) one of us (usually me) is getting tired in the given position, b) one of us isn't getting their "spot" itched or c) one of us feels like shifting gears (if you follow me).

That said, I have been asked to stay in a position because it was working for her...

i like slightly changing things....it adds new sensations and is just plain fun. :D

I like changing positions frequently.

The best thing is having him still inside me while we change.:)

Damn I love sex:)

Me too -- ME TOO!:D

She's on top for a while and then I get this line..

"I'm tired, It's your turn"

???It's my TURN??? Huh?

I didn't complain of course, but it sounded weird to me, but I do tend to overthink at inopportune moments anyways...

Try lateral-entry positions. They're good for when both people are tired.

What about the one where she's on her back and I'm on my side? Does that qualify as "Lateral-Entry Coital (laying on your sides)" even if only one of us in on our side?

That one seems to work great for both of us. If I'm to the right of my wife she raises her left leg over me and I move my hips under her leg so we end out in an X position. This seems to hit my wife just right.

Just reading the title of this tread makes it hard to sit at work ;)

I love trying all kinds of positions, and I make it a point to do so while staying inside of her. If she is on top and is tired, I sit up, wrap one arm around her, and roll her onto her side or her back. It's just such a great feeling.

It can also be fun to take a bit of time and persue different positions in a book or on a website together. Whoo, good times.

Wow, that would explain why there were always a different name for the usual general position everytime a "Position of the Day" comes out. I've always thought someone was pulling the names out of their ass whenever it comes to the usual positions...

Wow! Is this a new decree from the Ministry of Coital Positions or what??? For so many years I thought that I was being boring with my eight positions, but now I realise that they are, in fact, forty-three positions! I am liberated and relieved!! Thank you so much!!!

very good advice; and from my experience, it works!

I always though both that I'd tried most every position "in the book" (whether that's the kama sutra or not). I and each of my long term partners have rotated or been rotated into every conceivable orientation and position. I've never checked them off in list form though. Maybe I should start.
