Even as a teenager, I knew there were probably more than the two sexual positions I knew about, which were man on top and woman on top. After consulting more experienced sources i.e. my friends who were two years older than I, I wasn't much more advanced in my quest for knowledge. I did learn that my best friend, Marlynn, had tried side to side. The next month, at age fifteen and a high school sophomore, Marlynn was pregnant and dropped out of school. She was pulled out so quickly that I never even got the chance to ask her if it was the side to side position that did her in. Also, growing up Catholic (Marlynn's first name was really Rosary) I wondered if getting pregnant was her punishment for going all the way.
Years later, I found out that side to side was fairly difficult unless the guy was well endowed and/or the girl very flexible, which, thanks to being double-jointed, I was. Still, it seemed as though guys preferred to be on top. I thought perhaps it was a control issue, since, as young as we all were then, the whole act never seemed to go beyond a few strokes.
Now, older and wiser, well, older at least, I've learned, by experience and by reading that the woman on the top is the best way for a number of reasons, the most important being she controls the rhythm and friction and can more easily reach orgasm. Another goody is that the male enjoys a fantastic view, either breasts, or, if you are facing his legs, a vision of loveliness, especially for an ass man, your cheeks in all their splendour. And, perhaps, your hair flowing down your back, which drives many men crazy, despite the high maintenance of such a do in today's time-crunched world. If you've ever had a baby grab your hair and hold it tightly in his darling little fist, you know that you will never see that hair again. But there is nothing like having your babe brush your hair, using long sensuous sexy strokes. It's almost as good as a massage, which some people say is almost as good as sex. I say they aren't doing it right.
Why IS the missionary position considered to be boring? Is it because it is associated with years of marriage, a quickie to be had before the lights are turned off? Do women feel they have no control under there? They do, by the way. One reason I actually heard a guy say is that he has to do all the 'work!' Work? If making love is work, you may as well get reacquainted with your right hand from your teen years.
