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.
I’m gearing up for a mini-vacation that includes a three-day music festival. Naturally, I’m thinking about all the potential hook-ups — because, oh yes, I will be on the prowl. So with sexual energy already way up there I’m thinking my out-of-this-world flexibility will be impressive and totally pleasurable (it usually is!)
Up-side down … Boy you turn me…
This Upside Down position is a little tricky. It starts with you wrapping your legs around your man’s waist and arms around his neck. After he penetrates you, you strategically go backwards into a handstand facing away from him while he supports you from your waist and bottom.
He will definitely be awed and you get totally unique sensations (possibly from the head rush) — and inversions are so good for the body. It improves your balance and gives your abs a work out, plus how often do you get to stretch out your back like that?
Is your man small in the pants? Would you rather stay away from the Wolfman penis extension (or the likes) for compensation? Try the Hook position.
You lie on your back with him on top of you, then hook your legs over his shoulders to experience deeper penetration. Plus, he gets to have full control (that’ll really make him feel big & bad!)
The Hook position maximizes penetration because the more you cross your legs behind his neck, the more the vaginal canal tightens, thus making him feel fuller inside you.
This position also frees up your hands for all kinds of yummy touching.
It’s been a hectic week. Didn’t get as much gym time as I would’ve liked but I did meet a hot, interesting older man during my walk to the gym from my car the other day. So in honor of him this week’s position is combo sex position/exercise — a sexercise if you will..
Here’s another one from Fitness mag’s Sex Positions That Double as Exercise: the Arch. At the gym the arch is known as the bridge pose where you work your glutes, thighs and core to raise your lower half — well imagine doing the same during sex!
According to Fitness magazine’s experts the arch is even better than bridge as far as exercise goes because you only use your legs for support while resting on your shoulders.
This passionate stance starts with your man sitting with his legs crossed then you hop and wrap your legs around him — no penetration… yet. As you pull each other in closer you can get to getting while you rock back and forth starting slowly and gradually increasing your speed.
While you’re enjoying the body-to-body closeness, he gets an eyeful of your hot bod and has easy access to your clit.
Cosmo mag’s “The Lusty Lean” sex position is erotically challenging and involves rear entry while you stand on an elevated surface. As you lean back on your man’s chest, he steadies you by picking you up by your rear.
Your man will feel like a strong stud as he enjoys deep penetration in a grinding motion and you get to lean back and have fun. If he changes his standing location, the angle of his penis also shifts giving you a different sensation.
I’ve often ended up in this position without any intention because wow, does it feel good! As Cosmo (the magazine) points out, the Wanton Wheelbarrow position is perfect for those that like the angles and contact with all from-behind variations. He hits the G-spot and gets a good view of that hot ass of yours.
Per Cosmo’s instructions: Bend over with your head and arms resting over a surface. Your man takes hold of one ankle while he hits it from the back…
This is a great position for make-up sex. Wrapping your arms and legs around your partner makes for some very intimate action, and you’re close enough to share some passionate kisses — and all while still engaging in hot sex with thrusting possible from both parties. There’s a limited range in motion but that works great in building intensity and allowing for a long session.
I particularly like that my partner’s hands are close enough to fondle my butt, and breasts while he goes deep inside me… definitely a spiritual experience!
Cosmo’s “The Figure Eight” position caught my attention for its ability to make a small (as in penis size) man feel like a giant. With pillows propped under you, your partner’s penis penetrates you deeper than he normally would (especially if he has a small one) for some G-spot action. Additionally his pubic bone rubs and stimulates the clit. This coupled with him plunging every inch of himself in could even lead to that elusive simultaneous orgasm!
To achieve this sensation, Cosmo recommends he move in a slow figure-eight motion with your butt propped on a pile of pillow, legs spread wide open and arms out of the way to make yourself as open as possible.
Cosmo’s Backup Bootie position caught my eye today.
“Your partner lies on his back, his legs straight out in front of him, a pillow under his head so he can watch the action. You straddle him with your head facing his feet. With your hands on the floor for support, you back up onto his penis. He holds your upper thighs or butt tightly while you thrust.”
I’ve only tried this position with one ex-boyfriend but I remember how intense it was. He loved the unbelievable friction and different angles I was able to move in. Also, the fact that he got to enjoy it while putting in very little work was also fun for him.
What I liked was being in control and that he complimented and had his hands all over the favorite part of my body – my butt.
