When it comes to sex, most adults still prefer the missionary position, according to a recent poll conducted by Adam & Eve.

The web-based survey, conducted by an independent third-party survey company of more than 1,000 American adults, was designed to study sexual preferences and practices.

The missionary position garnered a 32 percent vote, followed by rear-entry (23 percent) and cowgirl (22 percent). The 69 position was favored by 7 percent of respondents, followed by spooning (6 percent) and reverse cowgirl (4 percent). Three percent of those surveyed chose “other” and 3 percent preferred not to say.

When Adam & Eve Facebook followers were asked to rate their favorite positions, there was a marked difference in their preference, the company said.

The overwhelming majority of these Adam & Eve customers prefer rear-entry position (53 percent), followed by cowgirl (29 percent), reverse cowgirl (6 percent), other (6 percent), and missionary (6 percent).

“It’s interesting that while Adam & Eve customers may be a bit more adventurous when it comes to sexual matters, the average American still seems to prefer face-to-face intimacy,” said Dr. Kat Van Kirk, Adam & Eve’s resident sex expert. “Both of the top choices [missionary and rear entry] allow for more male control while the second choice [cowgirl], puts the woman in control. I believe there’s some give and take there.

Today I came across sex positions that double as workouts. To my surprise, missionary was the first one listed. According to Fitness magazine, you don’t have to let the person on top do all the work. With an equal, opposite thrust from the bottom you can get a core workout. However, to avoid injury, it’s important to thrust with your pelvis and not your lower back. You’ll also get a good butt workout by squeezing those cheeks while you thrust.

Finally a workout regime I can stick to!
