Missionary

Taxonomy

Considered by many to be a gateway position, the Missionary family of positions is how most sex lives are launched and probably ended... The name apparently stems from a misunderstanding of older documents that called it the "angelic" position... however you may want to take that with a grain of salt as we just read that off of wikipedia. We recommend experimenting with pillows under the woman's back and / or pelvis to find the perfect angle while exploring the Missionary Family's full range of variations.

Position Variations

Missionary

The Missionary position is probably the most common first position people try, which is probably related to its simplicity, comfort, and the high level of intimacy experienced. To get into the position, the woman simply lies down on her back while the man lies face-down on top of her. Although initial aiming can be a little difficult at first for the man, getting a helping hand from her can resolve that quite easily. We recommend for both partners to experiment with some hip movement to help keep things from getting stale too quickly. Closed Missionary

In the Closed variation of the Missionary Position, the woman closes her legs, while the man's legs go on the outside. Although this variation doesn't score high for penetration depth, the angle does provide a lot of clitoral stimulation, which some women may find more pleasurable than depth. Not the most intuitive position, but for the some couples it may be the missing key to pleasure. Folded Missionary

To get in to the Folded Missionary Position, the woman lies on her back and pivots her hips so that her legs are folded towards her chest. The man lies on top while supporting some of his weight on her legs. A favorite of many men because of the sense of power that comes from folding their partner, and vice versa for many woman from being folded, it also offers great freedom of movement and penetration depth. Most women won't find taking a man's full weight to be very comfortable, so men should reduce the strain by supporting some of their weight with their arms. Kneeling Missionary

A close cousin to Closed Missionary, the Kneeling missionary also features the man's legs on the outside of the woman's. Consequently, it also suffers from a difficult penetration angle and non-efficient use of a man's length. On the bright side, this angle can provide a lot of clitoral stimulation, especially if you are willing to forgo penetration all together, or just haven't gotten that far yet. Mixed Missionary

Representing a mix of any two forms of Missionary, the Mixed variation is here as a reminder that there is no need to keep things symmetric! Not only is there no need, both women and men may find significant benefit from having the vagina stretched in a different way. We recommend mixing and matching the leg woman's leg positions from all of the variations, to find the custom fit that feels best to you. Open Missionary

The Open Missionary position features the improved penetration angle of Folded Missionary, but offers more intimacy from not having her legs between you, which isn't too shabby considering the great freedom of movement offered to the man. To get into the position, the woman lies on her back with her legs up and out to the sides, while the man mounts face-down on top of her. Oystered Missionary

In the Oystered Missionary position the woman lies on her back with her legs raised all the way up so that her ankles are behind her head. This position clearly requires considerable flexibility on the part of the woman, and she should only be trying it out if she can already comfortably hold this position already. Split Missionary

In an extreme form of Open Missionary, the Split variation stretches a woman's legs out as far as they can go, which translates into some of the deepest penetration the family can offer. However, requiring high flexibility, it can be somewhat uncomfortable for women to maintain for a longer duration. Given the clitoral stimulation possible at full penetration, we recommend taking advantage by experimenting by mixing in some grinding when you go deep. Tilted Missionary

In the Titled variation of Missionary, the man's body is tilted so that both of his arms are one side of the woman's body. Although a relatively subtle variation, it does have an impact to the angle of penetration, which translates to noticeable difference in sensation. We recommend that women experiment with different leg positions, and for men to explore the angle as far as they can take it to explore the full range of the position. Tucked Missionary

A close cousin of Folded Missionary, the Tucked variation differs in that the woman's legs are bent at the knees, and are positioned on the outside of the man's body. This has the benefits of alleviating the strain from men leaning too heavily, and it's a lot easier to get intimate without legs in the way. We recommend that women experiment with the both the angle of their pelvis and the with how open they have their legs to find what feels best. Tucked Missionary 180

In the Tucked 180 variation of Missionary, the woman tucks her legs and tilts her pelvis upwards while the man spins around on top. Although many would consider it to be pretty low on the intimacy scale, it's great for targeting her posterior fornix and offers women a unique view of the penetration and the man's under side. It's also one of the few positions that allows for prostate play during intercourse - a great perk for those who enjoy a little anal play. Twisted Missionary

The Twisted variation of Missionary is a great way to spice up this old classic. The woman tilts her pelvis upwards and tucks her legs, while the man enters from above. Although both of his legs can be in a push-up position, we found it much more comfortable with the rear leg to be planted on the knee, as having both straight resulted in a little difficulty balancing. Make sure to try both directions to see if either works better with the curve of the penis in your relationship. Upright Missionary

The Upright variation of Missionary can be a little tricky for those starting out with it, however the tightness, clitoral stimulation, and shallow penetration can be quite rewarding. If you find the angle of penetration to be too awkward, we recommend placing pillows under the woman's rear to help tilt her pelvis for better access, or just enjoying this one as an outercourse position. Wrapped Missionary

To get into the Wrapped Missionary position, the woman lies on her back and wraps her legs around her partner who mounts from above. Raising her legs tilts her pelvis, making for a significantly improved penetration angle over the standard Missionary position, and the woman can use her legs to help guide the man's rhythm to her liking.

Folded Missionary

The girl needs to vary how wide she spreads her legs. Wide open is so different to close together. Having something to tie her feet up is nice.

Folded Missionary

Really love this position a lot. It was exactly how my husband taught me for my very first time during our wedding night. I was super nervous and had no clue about what was happening. Later, my sister told me this was the usual way it's done for virgin girls.

My husband really tricked me! After the ceremony, we went to his bedroom together. He locked the door and told me to get comfortable and to take off my dress for the night. When I asked him to get my pyjama, he laughed and explained that I was supposed to sleep naked from now on. I was shocked at first, but eventually gave in to his request since I remembered my aunt's advice. She already told me before that a good wife should not argue and instead try to get used to her husband's wishes. I was very hesitant, though, took off my dress but kept my bra and panties on while I tried to hide under the blanket.

Once my husband joined me, he started kissing and touching me. I really enjoyed but it felt different from his kisses before. So sensitive, especially his hands sliding under my bra and touching my hard nipples. I got wet and suddenly my panties were soaked! I swear, I felt so much shame but my husband calmed me and assured me that he only wants to give me a massage after the stressful day. He told me he got a surprise for me and proceeded to blindfold me with his silk scarf. Then my bra and panties came off pretty quickly. I got scared but he told me to calm because it's only a massage and no need to worry. He continued to massage and I went along without a second thought!

I was on my back when he suddenly lifted my feet and made me put my legs up over his shoulders. That's when I realized this wasn't a normal massage! But before I could act, he leaned all the way over me and had me pinned down with my feet pointing up towards the ceiling. I swear, once your feet come up and he leans forward, you're trapped! There's literally no escape. I immediately started to protest but he simply told me to relax and accept since a virgin girl is supposed to be taught in her wedding night anyway. He said he knew it was better to trick me instead of arguing forever and I knew he was right. I just didn't expect that I will be pinned like that for the teaching!

He assured me he will be very gentle but he also warned me not to tense up and not to try pulling away my hips under any circumstances. I asked him why and if it would hurt since my hymen was very tight. My husband said that he will firmly hold me and that all I was supposed to do is keeping my entire body relaxed no matter what, since he's in the driver's seat and taking care of my teaching now.

He slowly inserted just the tip and I could feel that he was hard like a rock. I started begging him to stop because I thought there was no way he will ever fit in there. I felt his tip wedged against my hymen when I desperately tried to pull away my hips. But I couldn't move an inch. He had me pinned in place firm and safely.

He again urged me not to clench or tense up and that it will happen either way. I kept begging him to stop but I tried my best to relax since I knew that there was no chance to back out anymore. He gave me a passionate kiss to distract me and I as soon as I relaxed back into the mattress, I could feel him delivering a gentle but firm thrust.

I tried to fully relax my muscles like my husband instructed me to and he slid right in! I felt a really sharp sting when it tore my hymen! Almost like an unpleasant pressure and then suddenly something snapped inside me. I gasped for air and let out a load moan with tears pooling in my eyes. Once I caught my breath, he was all the way inside me already! I immediately started tensing up but he kept still inside me and told me I made it.

It took me a short while to relax again and get used to the tight feeling. Then he very slowly started thrusting. It felt absolutely amazing! But so intense that I couldn't handle! He went really slow but very deep in a rythmic motion. Everytime he slid in, I felt the overwhelming urge to pull away, just to be scolded by him to not move. That's when he told me this is why virgin girls are usually pinned like this for their first time because with her legs up, they will be unable to pull away which makes it easier for her to get used to it.

Everytime I tried to pull my hips, my husband pinned me again and gave me a few of those extra deep thrusts. It made me moan and sob uncontrollably but I swear, it was so effective. It took only a few minutes for me to fully surrender and before I knew it, my husband rode me like a slide with me fully giving in and letting him have the lead.

Even today I easily orgasm when I think back at my wedding night. I can strongly recommend folded missionary as a teachimg position for virgin girls. I even know from many of my friends who got pinned like that for their first time. Having her legs up is very effective to keep her in check and to ensure that she will learn accepting proper penetration.

Try putting a pillow (or 2) under her bum to rotate her hips for a better angle for penetration.

My wife and I did this one and we love it. I had her screaming within seconds of me starting my thrusting. She always says it feel good and I should fuck like this more often.

Wrapped Missionary

My wife was wearing a dress yesterday and when she wears dresses I know there's no underwear. So, last night she was in the kitchen cleaning and I called into the bedroom. When she came in I grabbed her and laid her on the bed I then pulled my dick out and started fucking her in this position. I was holding her arms down as I'm banging her and she's and asking me to go harder. I had juices coming of her..she was squirting everywhere.

Missionary

I love missionary with all of its variations. Although I don't see it here, but my bf like to show off and put my leg on his shoulder, or cradle them in his arms. A great versital position that can be done in the back seat of the car, the couch, of course the bed.
