Revamping The Missionary: How To Add Some Extra ‘Oomph!’ To A Classic Position

The missionary position – what can we say? After a long, hard day at the office it’s the go-to position for the vast majority of us. It’s simple, it requires minimal effort on our part and it gets the job done (well, most of the time anyway...)

However, the humble missionary position has a bad reputation. Many view it as being too boring or too ‘vanilla’ and the poor missionary position is associated with couples who are stuck in a severe sexual rut.

So how can you spice up this otherwise traditional position and inject a little heat into it? Why not try these two tips to make that missionary position smoulder?

Inject a little heat into the missionary position with these moves...

Line it up: The coital alignment technique (also known as the CAT) is an instant way to add a little extra heat to the missionary position. It’s a female-friendly technique, meaning that it was designed to make your orgasms more intense. However, he’ll benefit from it too.

To use the CAT technique, simply assume the usual missionary position but then get your man to move up your body slightly so his, ahem, area is pointing downwards rather than upwards. Wrap your legs around his and get busy. This position will result in more friction between your bodies, which will enhance your orgasm.

It sounds a little complicated, but you’ll be surprised at how easy it is once you get into the swing of things. A word of warning: try and keep your movements sensual and slow – too much speed could cause an injury (don’t say we didn’t warn you!).

Raise the triangle: Like the CAT technique, the ‘raised triangle’ position is all about strengthening your orgasm. This position is pretty simple although it does require a little stamina. On the plus side, it’ll help to tone your arms and legs.

Start in the usual missionary position with your man on top. When you feel ready, ask your man to get on all fours, then slowly raise your pelvis off the bed. Use your elbows to support your weight and if you’re struggling or finding it hard, place your hands on your lower back to prop yourself up.

Next, ask your man to stay still while you do all the work. The best thing about this position is that it gives you full control over the depth and speed. It’s also a nice way to put a kinky twist on the missionary. Try it once and it’ll become a firm favourite in your sexual portfolio.
