The
Vertical Missionary
How
to Do
In the Verticle Missionary Position:
- The receiver sits on an edge of a bed with their legs and knees aligned with the shoulders of their partner exposing themselves at the edge of a bed (or couch, counter, desk, or just about anything with the room) with your bum right at the edge, just a little off the bed.
- Your partner can enter from the edge on their knees or even standing in front of you depending on the height of the bed. This position offers the giver a great deal of freedom of movement, so any natural tempo shouldn't be a problem.
Variations of Edge of the Bed Sex Position:
If you like the idea of this position, think about how it will be most comfortable for you.
The missionary 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 a 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.
Free to kiss
Because the couple’s faces are close together, they can easily kiss – not just lips but all over each other’s face breasts and neck. This helps create a loving and caring atmosphere. For the woman who is aroused by nipple stimulation, the man on top position allows the man to kiss and stroke her nipples.
*Use massage oil for extra sensuality. Oil each other, avoiding the pelvis if using condoms, then slip-slide away.
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.
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 Verticle Missionary Position
- This position offers the giver a great deal of freedom of movement, so any natural tempo shouldn't be a problem
- In some sense this is a nice “lazy” position for the person on the bed, as you’re comfortable and don’t have to do a lot of moving or supporting yourself.
- Either partner can grab onto the bed for leverage, and it provides a firm support with some give.
- This position can also be good for either or both partner if fatigue is an issue
- 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 intimacy of full-body contact affords a heightened sensual and emotional experience for both the male and female
Disadvantages of the Verticle Missionary Position
- One partner is doing most of the work in this position, so you might not consider it completely equitable.
- The partner not being supported by the bed may want to use pillows for comfort if they are on their knees
- It can be difficult for partners to manually stimulate the clitoris
- This position sometimes produces a quick male orgasm (premature ejaculation)
