What do you think about positions?

[curious74]

I think the less important part of sex is the position. I mean of course it's important but sex it isn't better if you know 50 sex position instead of 5-6. You get more excited doing other things.
I think so. What do you think?

 

[SexyChele]

Interesting. I've never seen this question before. (Are we sure this should be on a "How To" forum?)

I would think that positions account for very little in the actual scheme of things. Yes, it can be fun to think of new ones, perhaps try ones out that you read about or see in porn flicks. But I think, for the most part, people pretty much know what does it for them, and they stick with it.

I mean, I may try a variety of different positions, but "doggie-style" is the one that really gets me every time. So, no matter what I might start out with, if it is possible, I will usually ask for or manuever in that positon.

That said, I'm not seeing the correlation between knowing a 100 different sexual positions and being sexually satisfied.....

It is a new topic for me too. I've never even thought about the relative importance of positioning in sex.

Now, having considered it I'll have to say not so important.

I'm going to stew on this one a bit before I actually vote...but good topic!

 

[Maiden-hunter]

you need to Know as many as YOU want !

We've tryed most evey way we can think of over the years and had a lot of FUN (the most important bit ) but I think every one settles down to the same comfortable hand full most of the time

1 or 100 dont matter as long as the love and fun are there

...different strokes,, for different folks.
,,try ,experiment, with each past lover,you find that one that fit's the arraingement.
...then stay with the one

As long as you know more than missionary, I think you're set!

Actually, I'm sure there are people who live perfectly enjoyable sex lives with only missionary, but damn....they just don't know what they're missing.

Since I only alternate between about 5 or 6 anyway and have no desire to learn "Lotus Blossom" or "Crane With Leg Bending In Place Leg Shouldn't Bend," I voted on 1-6. After that, it just gets kind of uncomfy.

::laughs::

Most of the "positions" I use are the positions I've been forced to make up in the back seat of a car ::grins::.
Seriously though, trying out new positions can be fun - but interesting positions won't make up for bad sex.

 

[Monazwx]

My position on this . . .

Is that positioning is important. It's not as important as the actual emotions behind it, but I definitely think that the more positions you know, the better the sex will be. It keeps the relationship fresh and exciting.

You won't remember every sexual position, but adding something new once in a while to the 'old favourites' never hurt anyone.

P.S. It helps to be flexible.

 

[schatz]

I think more than one should be a must. It doesn't have to be in the double digits but just something to refrain from monotany should be sufficient.

 

[MR.GGG]

You should try out all the wild and crazy positions when you're young. Then you can find the ones that actually cause the best friction, rub the right spots (G!) or allow for long slow relaxing lovemaking when you're both too tired to do much else. Spoon is good. Her riding is great for visuals and her being able to position herself just right. Also for an ol fart like me she can keep riding and cum over and over even if I've had a heart attack and died several minutes ago. These thing are important for a woman! Doggie is great especially if she's drapped over a big arm rest or some pillows. It is a big turn on for both to have her pinned, being skewered like a big ol' butterfly, can't get away and you're just pounding her. The visuals and the feel of a nice warm bum under your belly is just about all most guys can take. This is NOT a good position for delaying a mans' orgasm. Also this is perfect for withdrawing and digging on that GSpot, giving her 5 or 10 G-gasms in rapid succession and then going back to pounding her poor li'll abused cunny. All the crazy positions are good for fond memories when arthritis sets in and anything more acrobatic than spooning hurts too much.

Ok, I don't have any arthritis - yet.

I agree, Schatz. It's not the number. What's fun is learning the new ones together. It's like dancing--I like it when they just flow one into another. You are right--I would say good dancing is never monotonous. That's why I have a hard time with the rather static concept of positions.

You dancing experts out there! Isn't the glory of classical ballet the flow from one "position" to another (I >really< don't know what I'm talking about--just guessing from what I've watched!)

That being said, as Emerald points out, it's a mood thing--face to face alignments are good for some emotions. Hard fucking, no quarter-asked doggystyle--you can't even see her (or his!) face--for another.

Whereas I agree that knowing many positions is not what makes lovemaking enjoyable, but once you learn that each different position offers different sensations, you might just want to try others
It wasn't untill a girlfriend at the time, showed my her copy of the Kama Sutra, that I was introduced to a multitude of varied positions, and actualy experienced different sensations in each one we tried.

 

[someplace]

I agree with the others that it's more about the mood and emotions. If it's just about mechanics and acrobatics, you might as well not bother. There is something to be said for variety and surprising your partner with something new or different when it's not expected. That can add excitement and show you care about expanding the depth of your relationship. Experimenting with positions, particularly when you're young, helps you and your partner learn each other's reponses. Later, that Perfumed Garden stuff can seem too much like work. There's a reason why the "old standbys" are what they are: they're comfortable, they work, they FEEL GOOD!

Having said that, I did use discussing sexual positions to drive a former boyfriend crazy. It was a long distance relationship and in between visits I'd casually send a link from a cute internet site (don't you just love the internet?) on positions and show him what I wanted him to do to me. It was a big turn-on for both of us. http://www.sexualpositionsfree.com/

Position? It really depends upon the mood I’m in. If I feel like being passive, then I like her on top. This usually happens after I’m “spent”, and she’s trying to tease me into just one more time. When I’m the active one, I like to sit between her legs, with her knees up, or with her legs on my shoulders. It’s very intimate, both physically and emotionally to sit, facing each other, with my ankles crossed, and, her settled between my legs. I’ll be deep within her, while we hold each and rock in unison.

 

[rexfelis]

1. Doggy style.
2. Legs over shoulders.
3. Half and half.
4. Wheelbarrow.
5. 69.
6. Missionary.
7. Froggy style.

Who needs anything else?

 

[cherrylips_au]

I agree that postions aren't the most important part of sex its the mood and emotions imparted.
Trying new or different postions within a relationship is always fun but I do think after a while you settle into a number of ways that work best for the both of you.

 

[chunster]

I find that you need to try something new so that the fun stays in the relationship.

 

[DevilBoy79]

variety keeps things different but hey dont knock what already works for you and you S.O.

Positions

Ok I will stand out from the crowd I think knowing differing positions are very important, as is knowing how these affect your partner.

What is comfortable for one person might not be for another what is stimulating with one might not another.

Missionary for example should result in clitor stimulation as you grind your bosies together where doddie will not.

Some positions allow deep penetration and outher shallow if you have a Big Dick you should be aware of what this will achieve and equally if you are on the shorter side then the deep penetrations positions suit you better.

I do agree that you should try out new things invent your own positions make love have fun.

My favorite possie is the spoons postions as I can have my full body in contact with my partner.

I don't think it is possible to know only a few positions.

I have trouble beleiving that individual positions can be quantified. There are so many variations to what might be considered the classic positions. I prefer not to limit myself by counting. I am certain that I know a great many hundreds of variations, each a subtle nuance of the last.

I do however agree that a good variety it nessisary for me at least.

 

[DarkkSeduction]

spice of life ...

or sex life anyways is trying new things which means positions too...

 

[hattaluv]

The most important part is enjoying it. If you are in doggy-style, but hate it, then it really doesnt matter does it? Finding postion(s) that work for you and you partner should be the most important thing. Then, once you have a reptoire as it were, you can experiment .

I personally prefer missionary. But rear entry (not entry in the rear) comes in second.
