The
Arch
How
to Do
- The receiver gets into a partial bridge position with their shoulders resting on the bed, their knees should be bent and buttocks drawn up for elevation, while their partner enters from a kneeling position
- The arch is often overlooked because of its perceived simplicity, but thanks to the fantastic penetration angle this sex position offers, it should be a regular part of everyone’s routine. That being said, you’ll want to make sure to use a pillow under the receiver’s head to reduce the strain and risk of injury to their neck.
The missionary positions are the most popular sex position for many reasons. Many women consider it the most romantic position, almost certainly because the couple are always face to face. Every expression can be noticed, they are free to kiss, and each partner can see that they are being loved – something that is not possible in some other positions, such as rear-entry ones.
Man-on-top sex positions aren't always passive for the woman. With many variations on the 'missionary' position, the woman can control the depth of penetration and set the pace for intercourse. Closely allied to such feelings in the woman are parallel but opposite feelings in the man. Some men enjoy ‘dominating’ their partner during intercourse and tend most to enjoy such positions as encourage this – although from time to time most men enjoy other sex positions in which their partner takes the lead and control.
Being ‘taken’ like this can be highly exciting to some women. For the woman who is at all guilty about sexual needs and appetites, this position leaves her free of guilt about sex, because she can think of herself as being overpowered by a much stronger man.
*Use massage oil for extra sensuality. Oil each other, avoiding the pelvis if using condoms, then slip-slide away
Best for babies!
The man-on-top sex positions are very good for couples who are trying to have a baby, because penetration can be very deep. If the woman holds on to her legs behind her knees and draws her thighs right back, sperm can be deposited deep in the vagina – at the neck of the womb. This provided the best chance of conception occurring.
If the woman stays lying down after sex, with a pillow under her hips, the semen stands the best possible chance of entering her cervix, and the sperm will then be able to fertilize an egg.
More than just romantic
Because it is a romantic yet fairly unadventurous sex position, it is a particularly good one when having sex with a new partner. While you are still learning about one another, it makes sense to go for a position that is non-threatening and loving.
The missionary positions lay neither partner open to strangeness, anxiety and unfamiliarity. The woman’s hands are free to caress the man. This could be especially valuable – showing him that he is loved and wanted in the new relationship.
Because the man has control of the thrusting he can control his speed to orgasm. This is good news for the individual who fears losing control of ejaculation. A ‘trigger-happy’ man can thus stop when he feels ejaculation approaching, and a man who needs a great deal of thrusting to maintain his erection will also benefit.
Advantages of the Arch position
- Both partners can see each other and make eye contact, thereby receiving feedback from their facial expressions, breathing, and vocalizations
- Penetration is relatively deep
- The man's groin can directly or indirectly stimulate the clitoris, depending on how the act is performed
- A relatively quick male orgasm can be achieved if so desired; conversely, the greater control afforded the man enables him to delay his orgasm and thereby prolong the copulatory act
- The woman may enjoy the sensation of submission to the male and the freedom to caress him as she chooses
- The woman is able to either hasten or delay both her orgasm and that of her partner through voluntary, rhythmic flexation and relaxation of the pubococcygeus muscles surrounding her vagina
- The intimacy of full-body contact affords a heightened sensual and emotional experience for both the male and female
Disadvantages of the Arch position
- This position can become a strain on the receiver's back after some time, a pillow can relieve some of this condition.
- It can be difficult for partners to manually stimulate the clitoris
- This position sometimes produces a quick male orgasm (premature ejaculation)
- Some women do not enjoy the possibly submissive sensation of being under their partner
