The Plough Position
How
to Do
In the Plough Sex Position:
- The receiver starts in the basic missionary position, after guiding his penis into her vagina he raises his pelvis up over hers so the base of his penis is in direct contact with her clitoris.
- He then lowers his chest onto her torso, taking the weight off his hands, as she wraps her legs around the partner linking the ankles together for support. He then moves slowly up-and-down (not in and out) stimulating the clitoris, building up to climax.
Although it is very similar to the missionary position, the raised legs make a significant improvement in the penetration angle as well as the intimacy of the position…making it a good first step for improving the sometimes monotonous starting position.
Women have more control over the pace than in classic missionary: you can pull your partner towards you with your thighs. Your clitoris rubs against the base of his penis, adding extra stimulation. Also, if your partner is less well endowed, this will make him feel bigger.
The Man on Top positions are the most popular sex positions 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.
The missionary positions, being such passive ones for women, absolves her of the responsibility of making anything much happen. Some women can relax and enjoy lovemaking more if they do not take a dominant, active role.
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.
Many women experience great pleasure from being dominated during intercourse. Some women enjoy sex particularly if the man is in control and makes everything happen. Missionary position sex is ideal for this. The man, being on top, controls the thrusting and can pin the woman down to the bed and take her roughly and at his pace.
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 Plough position
- The Plough is a great variation of the timeless missionary position. It allows for deep penetration and plenty of clitoral stimulation
- Both partners can see each other and make eye contact, thereby receiving feedback from their facial expressions, breathing, and vocalizations
- Coitus can be combined with erotic kissing on the mouth, including such variants as the "French kiss."
- 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
- Very little suppleness or flexibility is required of either partner. Both are able to remain relatively relaxed and avoid fatigue
- The intimacy of full-body contact affords a heightened sensual and emotional experience for both the male and female
- The man can reach under and stimulate his partner using his fingers on her clitoris.
Disadvantages of the Plough position
- One word of caution. If he's heavy, the man's weight placed upon the woman may be uncomfortable for her, to avoid this the man can support his weight upon his arms and knees, which may become tiring for him.
- There is an absence of visual stimulation, as it is difficult to see each other's bodies
- This position sometimes produces a quick male orgasm (premature ejaculation)
- Some women do not enjoy the possibly submissive sensation of being under their partner.
