Reverse Missionary: What Is It?

[SimonDoom]

Is there anyone else who has trouble remembering the difference between "prone" and "supine"? For some reason my brain has always had a hard time with this one.

I've come up with a mnemonic to remember the difference.

Prone: on one's back.

Supine: on one's chest.

"Prone" and "back" have fewer letters than "Supine" and "chest," respectively.

I hope this works, going forward.

Umm. "Prone" is lying face-down, and "Supine" is lying on your back (Merriam-Webster).

There goes that mnemonic. You're right. I somehow got that reversed.

Looking for another one.

Edited because I see Notwise responded.

Okay, so seeing this started nagging at me I did some searching around. The position I'm talking about is called the amazon position.

This is a short compilation from Pornhub.

I wonder if I simply said in a story she was between his legs in the amazon position if anyone would get it?

I watch a shit ton of porn and didn't know this name until I made the effort to look. I also have a feeling this position would upset all the 'real men' out there for obvious reasons.

Now you will be forever uncertain .

Well, in my house the amazon position is my wife on her computer buying a lot of shit that we don't need online.

I was listening to Sirius/XM's Outlaw Country channel and I heard a new one I had never heard before.

"Let's get together and make the beast with two backs."

I like that. I like the image. Never heard it before.

That's pretty wild. According to WebMD, the position doesn't do much for clitoral stimulation.

I wonder what Jeff Bezos has to say.

I think "the beast with two backs" has been around for awhile. Just checking Wikipedia, the term has been around since 1532, and Shakespeare used it in "Othello." Maybe it hasn't been real common.

One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead lovers got up to, um, fuck.
Back to back they faced each other, drew their, err, sexy bits…and reversed missionaried each other!

Sorry, not sorry

Probably wouldn't come across. If you didn't know the name of the position, how many readers do you think will recognize the position from the name?

Huh. I thought that Shakespeare coined that one! But he didn't write Othello until the early 1600s, so this definitely predates him.

It's such a brutal line in Othello, too. Iago hiding under the cover of night is yelling up to Desdemona's father that his daughter has snuck out of the house and is making the beast with two backs with her lover, Othello.

Iago is one of the true literary douchebags.

Prone is how a sniper lies, supine is often how the person being sniped ends up. Not fully accurate but reminds me they are opposites and it would be really hard to snipe lying on your back, face up, lol.

But let's get back to the original post, you are a woman, define "reverse missionary." You are woman who writes sex fiction. What is your definition?

 

[rescatooor]

Seeing as I too am female, I think I too may answer.

To me it's sounds like a made up word. I don't think I will ever encounter it after this thread is done.

Although my logic would probably go: if reverse cowgirl is just the girl on top facing the other direction, reverse missionary would be the guy on top facing the other direction. So kind of like the 69 position, but penis still going in vajayjay.

How doable that actually is, no clue. But most of the made-up sex positions are fairly undoable anyway. So it adds up.

The position is very dominant especially with the man assuming the position women are usually in with the legs up and spread, so I don't think the point of it is too orgasm, its more about the idea of 'taking' the man. I'm sure any woman into this will be sure she's taken care of at some point.

Also why I made the joke about the 'real men' here, that's not a position for a misogynist or someone with the cold male insecurity many out there are afflicted with.

Yeah, now I have to use it.

Bezos will probably try to sue them for using the term Amazon.
Obviously the term Amazon came first, so he can't
But after several more 'donations' to Senators around the country and judges, he'll win anyway

 

[lovecraft68]

I haven't actually answered the OP yet so here goes.

My guess would be the guy on his back, the woman on top, but not upright in the cowboy position. Her upper body would be lowered so she's on top of him and he can put his arms around her and she can slide hers beneath him.

Her legs would be stretched out along his so their bodies are intertwined and in full contact. Probably not a position to be able to thrust forcefully-unless she draws her knees up at some point-but I would think its more of a close contact slow love making position.

That's my guess, and it could be a real term, just not a common one. Everything else has a reverse, cowboy, gangbang...

Not if they get shot in the back of the head

 

[NotWise]

I honestly have no idea. I've never heard the term before. If I had to guess it would be receiver on their back, legs spread in a missionary position with the giver on top facing away from the supine partner, but that would require an awfully flexible penis or penetration object.

That's a definition I found in one place on Google. Seems painful to me.

 

[lovecraft68]

Hence "often" and not "always." Some people just drop straight down whether facing the sniper or not, if my cousin's wartime tales are accurate anyway.

I was only kidding. I often forget I need to add some kind of emoji so people know that.

 

[lovecraft68]

I don't get why us being female would give us any insight into the correct answer, but your response is also what came to mind for me. 1. It sounds made up. 2. It seems reasonable to treat it like reverse cowgirl in missionary form. 3. It's likely an impossible position for the majority to actually pull off.

Regardless of gender, if you've had sex, you're as qualified as the next person to discuss it. I think at times men like to ask the woman's point of view not so much that they'd know better, but a cheap thrill of getting a woman to tell them about sex, maybe as a bonus a personal experience.

because most guys are 12 in their heads and their actions.

Is that why you asked?

According to The Urban Dictionary, the ultimate source for all into like this, reverse missionary is where the man lays on his back and the woman lays flat on top of him.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Reverse Missionary

Ah, but it leaves unanswered whether the woman is facing toward him or away from him.

 

[SamScribble]

A reverse missionary is a suited and booted do-gooder who knocks on the door of a pinch-faced believer, talks to him (or her) for 15 minutes, quoting freely from a well-thumbed book, and then leaves the former God-botherer as an enlightened (in the manner of The Enlightenment), open minded, atheistic free-thinker.

Prone position

Well, this thread has taken on a life of its own since I was last on here, but I think this answer is what I''m looking for.

Looking up "Prone position sex" has given me results that depict what I'm talking about with much greater consensus than "reverse missionary." So I'd say that this is indeed the most common term.

Thank you!

Reverse missionary: A person who willingly goes to a church to be told about the beliefs of a religion different from their own.

Not so. It's a Jehovah's Witness who waits at home for other people to come knocking at their door, asking them to tell them about God.
