Looking for ways to spice up your intimate life? Let’s take a look at the best missionary sex position variations you can try tonight!
It is not always easy to find a suitable sex position for both partners. But if both partners like the classic sex positions the most, it is enough to diversify them a little. You’ll be surprised to learn that there are so many different ways to improve the good old missionary sex position. Here’s how to do 3 new and unheard variations of missionary sex position.
1
The woman should lie on her back with her hips on the edge of the bed or table. When the woman is ready, the man must stand in front of her and penetrate her. Take this fairly common position to a new level with the help of a vibrator.
2
Another variation of missionary sex position. The woman relaxes on the bed and spreads her legs. The partner should be on top of the woman and touch her body as little as possible, except for the genitals, of course. Such a position will focus all attention on only one place and the feeling of penetration will be much stronger.

To master the third position, the woman raises her legs to her chest and has the man hold her ankles. The legs can also be bent and the feet can rest on the man’s chest, and they can also be spread or raised straight up. The key to this position is discovering what you both like best.
What are the disadvantages of the regular missionary sex position? It is a timeless classic. Most couples like the emotional and physical intimacy it provides: you can hug each other, kiss, see your partner’s face. This position is romantic, but it is difficult to experience an orgasm.
According to research, only one in four women experience orgasm when their partner is on top. It is not even affected by the length of the penis and the duration of intercourse: 13 or 23 cm, five minutes or half an hour – mostly he is the only one who feels the pleasure.
The reason is simple: in the missionary sex position, his penis does not come into contact with the clitoris. If the so-called legs of the clitoris do not stick to the walls of the vagina and do not irritate the G-spot, the missionary position will bring nothing but romance.
The solution is to slightly adjust the performance of this position. For example, in doggy style, a man can enter the vagina and touch the clitoris at the same time. When making love in the cowgirl position, it will be enough if the partner places his hand on his lower abdomen: as the woman leans in, her clitoris will be stimulated against his fingers. Let’s not forget about fingering and oral sex.
Of course, sometimes you want everything at once. Is it possible to experience an orgasm while making love in the missionary sex position? The good news is not only affirming, but also quite simple.
What is CAT technique?
The CAT or ‘Coital alignment technique’ was invented in 1988 by the American psychotherapist, sex researcher Edward Eichel. It is an advanced missionary position: by slightly adjusting the man’s position, the clitoris is also stimulated.
The partner should lie down a little higher – so that his chest is near the woman’s shoulders. Rhythmic penetration movements should be replaced by sliding movements, then her clitoris and his pubic bone will come into contact, and both partners will feel the stimulation in the right places.
Why is nobody talking about this?
E. Eichel’s technique once attracted great interest: it was written about in newspapers, articles were devoted to it in magazines, it was mentioned in books about sex.
However, for unknown reasons, this technique was forgotten in the 90s, and only a few sexologists offered their clients to use it.
True, this technique continued to be studied. “The Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy” described a study involving 36 women. These women attended a seminar for eight weeks, where they learned the basics of sex. 17 women were advised not only to have sex, but also to masturbate regularly, 19 other participants were taught the CAT technique.
All women concluded on the 21st day. Those who masturbated reported experiencing 27% more orgasms, and those who practiced CAT experienced up to 56% more orgasms.
You don’t have to choose between CAT or masturbation – you can use both. This technique will also help in case of premature ejaculation – with its help, the duration of sexual intercourse will be extended.
