3. COMMONNESS
How common is the missionary sex position?
Among humans, the missionary is the most commonly used sex position and the one
chosen by many couples for their first time.
Is there research data about the commonness of the missionary?
In his seminal study Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953), which focused on
American women, researcher Alfred Kinsey stated that 91% of married women surveyed
reported using this position most often, whereas 9% reported using it exclusively.
Are there people or populations that practice the missionary exclusively?
Interestingly, inhabitants of the island Inis Beag practice the missionary position
exclusively, without foreplay.
FIRST TIME SEX POSITION
Why is the missionary position commonly chosen for the first time a couple has sex?
It may be more comfortable for the first time because the simplicity of the position makes
it well-suited to the inexperienced.
Why is the missionary considered suitable for sex with a new partner?
The missionary lends itself well to sex with a new partner as it is a romantic yet fairly
unadventurous sex position that is non-threatening and loving and lays neither partner
open to strangeness, anxiety and unfamiliarity.
What is the usual cause of discomfort with early penetrative sex?
The discomfort of early penetrative sex, if there is any, is usually related to tension in the
pelvic or thigh muscles and/or anxiety that has prevented the usual vaginal lubrication.
How can sex in the missionary position help a woman overcome that discomfort?
Muscles of the pelvic floor are more relaxed if, initially, the missionary position is chosen
and a couple of pillows are arranged under the woman’s bottom so her hips are tilted
upwards.
What are the disadvantages for the woman of using the missionary for their first
time?
The woman is not in control, it can be more painful for her, and she cannot do anything
but just ‘lay there and take it’.
How can the woman overcome these disadvantages of the missionary as a “first
time” sex position?
The couple can start with the ‘woman on top’ position until the hymen is torn, and then
possibly segue to missionary.
4. How can the above transition make her feel more comfortable?
Positions such as ‘woman on top’ allow her to control the speed and pressure at which
she loses her hymen.
BASIC POSITION
What is the basic position of the missionary?
The woman lies on her back and the man lies on his belly on top of the woman, with his
legs between the receiving partner's legs.
At what level is the man’s penis during the basic missionary position and why?
His penis is at the same level as the woman's vagina to facilitate penetration.
What are the basic positions of a woman’s legs during missionary?
Her legs are either spread flat, drawn up toward her chest, or wrapped around the
penetrating partner.
How can the woman wrap her legs around her partner?
The woman can wrap one or both of her legs around the man at various heights; at the
back of his legs, at the buttocks or back, or over his shoulders.
What is the biggest perceived disadvantage of the missionary?
The missionary is sometimes derided as a plain, ‘vanilla’ sex position.
Why is the missionary considered a plain sex position?
Because to some it looks lazy, unimaginative and uninformed.
Is there a counter-argument to the above?
Yes; the mundane quality of the missionary can be overcome by its’ many variations.
