How many types of missionary positions are there? I've listed everything I can think of missionary type

While the missionary position is a well-known classic, its popularity remains unmatched. In every survey, it consistently ranks as the favorite among many, with universal appeal. Despite its simplicity, it holds a special place in intimate moments, and it's rare to find someone who doesn't enjoy it.

To enhance your expertise, I've compiled a list of various types of missionary positions for you to explore. Understanding and mastering these variations can elevate your prowess, making you a skilled practitioner capable of rivaling any expert. Take this opportunity to broaden your knowledge and add versatility to your intimate repertoire.

There are four basic variations of the missionary position.

When it comes to the missionary position, there are a total of four basic variations. First, before learning about the detailed types, let's remember these four basic forms.

Basic form 1: Basic missionary position

The quintessential missionary position, characterized by the man entering between the woman's open legs for penetration and thrusting. Variations exist in how men adjust the positioning of their upper bodies, allowing women to find a comfortable posture. Consider this the foundational missionary position, encompassing any variation not covered by the other three primary positions.

Basic form 2: Extended position

In this variation, known as the extended missionary position, the woman stretches out her legs. Typically, the man penetrates and thrusts while her legs remain closed, creating a heightened sense of tightness. This position is notable for its ability to intensify pleasure for women, as the legs are constrained, allowing for a more focused and heightened experience.

Basic form 3: Waist height

In the waist-height missionary position, the woman's hips are elevated, raising the entrance to her vagina for penetration and thrusting. This variation is particularly effective at stimulating the G-spot up to the portio line, providing heightened pleasure for women. While it may require a bit more physical strength from men, the payoff in pleasure is substantial. If aiming for internal climax, mastering this position is well worth the effort.

Basic form 4: Bent position

In the bent missionary position, the woman's legs are folded, offering endless possibilities for enjoyment. Whether widening the bend to reveal the connection point or lifting legs toward her head for deep penetration, the variations are vast. This bent position is one of the most commonly practiced forms of the missionary position, providing flexibility and versatility for diverse preferences and pleasures.

Introducing all 3 types of “basic missionary positions”

Now that you've grasped the four basic shapes, let's delve into three specific types of "basic missionary positions." Often considered the most frequently practiced, these positions are likely the starting point for many. It's a common sentiment that, "When inserting, start from this shape."

The missionary position, being the most orthodox method, is fundamental and essential to master in the realm of intimate connections.

1. Missionary position with upper body raised

• Insertion depth: 4/5
• Ease of piston movement: 4/5
• Ease of caressing: 4/5

The man lifts his upper body and pistons with his legs apart.

He can intensify his movements with a knee-shaking motion, but opting for an ankle-up stance and employing a toe-kicking motion enables more forceful thrusts. This technique is not only applicable to nipple stimulation but, most importantly, makes it easier to caress the clitoris. For women who prefer external stimulation leading to climax, focusing on the clitoris simultaneously enhances the likelihood of orgasm.

By securely grasping her waist and maintaining control, reaching deep inside becomes effortless. Among the basic missionary positions, this method stands out as the most effective for stimulating the portio, providing a heightened and satisfying experience.

2. Missionary position where you are in close contact with each other in a prone position

• Insertion depth: 3/5
• Ease of piston movement: 4/5
• Ease of caressing: 4/5

This is a missionary position where the man also lies down with his upper body so that they are in close contact with each other.

You have the option to either bend or straighten your legs, but maintaining a stretched position enhances the intensity of physical contact. It's crucial to keep your elbows securely in place, ensuring you don't exert too much weight on the woman.

While penetration may be somewhat shallow, the close contact characteristic of this position is highly favored by women. Although clitoral and nipple stimulation may be limited, there's ample opportunity for kissing and caressing other sensitive areas like the ears.

This position is tailored more for mental pleasure than physical satisfaction. It's an ideal missionary position to explore, not necessarily for personal climax, but as an intimate posture to express and convey love.

3. Missionary position locked by woman's legs

• Insertion depth: 4/5
• Ease of piston movement: 2/5
• Ease of caressing: 3/5

This is a missionary position where the woman's legs are wrapped around your waist.

Some women may naturally gravitate towards this position, especially those who enjoy portio stimulation. If a woman is particularly fond of this kind of penetration, she might encourage it without explicit requests.

From a man's perspective, maneuvering the hips may pose challenges. Instead of relying on broad movements, focusing on subtle rocking motions while thrusting deeply can provide the pleasurable sensations women often appreciate.

Given the close contact of the upper bodies, simultaneous stimulation of the nipples and clitoris may not be feasible. Elevate the intimacy by incorporating deep kisses and caresses around the ears to enhance the overall experience.

Introducing all 4 types of “extension positions”

The upcoming position is the "extended position" of the missionary position, with the woman's legs stretched out. While many extended positions involve penetration and thrusting with legs closed, there's one method that deviates from the norm. This particular technique is quite popular, and discovering it might prompt a surprised reaction, making you question, "Is this considered the extended position?"

For men, it offers a missionary experience with heightened tightness. The only drawback lies in the potential interference from thigh muscles, which can make it prone to slipping out.

1. Extended position with both legs closed

• Insertion depth: 2/5
• Ease of piston movement: 4/5
• Ease of caressing: 3/5

This variation of the missionary position involves the woman lying on her back with her legs closed, allowing for penetration and thrusting between her legs. With no obstruction around the waist, piston movements become more straightforward. However, caution is advised against excessive hip movements to prevent accidental slipping.

The closed leg positioning ensures constant clitoral stimulation with each piston, intensifying a woman's pleasure. While it may not cater to those who enjoy portio stimulation, women who prefer external climax can find this position conducive to reaching orgasm.

For ease of movement, bending the knees and raising the upper body is an option. However, prioritizing the woman's pleasure may involve stretching out her legs for better clitoral stimulation. Choose the variation that best suits both partners' comfort and enjoyment.

2. Extension position with closed ankles crossed

• Insertion depth: 2/5
• Ease of piston movement: 3/5
• Ease of caressing: 3/5

Follow the same method as before, but cross your ankles to the woman.

Among all missionary positions, this particular variation offers the most intense tightening sensation. The pressure from the vagina and thighs can be strong enough to cause discomfort, especially if your partner has a fuller figure.

However, this heightened tightness also means that it's less prone to slipping out compared to the previous position. To enhance the experience, consider bending your knees, raising your upper body, and incorporating a swaying motion while simultaneously stimulating nipples.

Additionally, the positioning allows women to exert more pressure on their thighs, potentially making it easier for them to achieve orgasm compared to being in a "shackled" position. Experimenting with variations can help discover what works best for both partners.

3. Extended position as if falling backwards while sitting straight

• Insertion depth: 2/5
• Ease of piston movement: 4/5
• Ease of caressing: 3/5

Since the legs are bent sharply, it may be classified as a "flexed position".

This technique entails having the woman recline from a sitting position, allowing for penetration. If a woman experiences stiffness, adjusting her ankles to the side can create a more comfortable princess-like seated appearance.

With the entrance to the vagina slightly elevated compared to the previous position, men may find it somewhat easier to piston. As long as the woman doesn't feel discomfort in her legs, this position can be highly satisfying for both partners, contributing to an enjoyable and mutually pleasurable experience.

4. Extended position where only one leg is raised

• Insertion depth: 5/5
• Ease of piston movement: 4/5
• Ease of caressing: 4/5

In the extended position, where the legs are not closed, a widely practiced and often referred to as "crutch breaking" is the prominent method. This involves inserting and thrusting with one of the woman's legs raised while the other leg forms an X shape.

While variations may include bent legs or the woman's upper body turned sideways, the correct form is the X-shaped extended position with one leg raised and the other straddled. This X-shaped configuration ensures that the flesh of the thighs and buttocks does not impede insertion, making it a preferred choice for women who enjoy deep penetration.

Although supporting one leg may limit the use of one hand, the woman's upright upper body provides easy access for caressing her nipples and clitoris, adding to the overall pleasurable experience.

Introducing all 3 types of “waist height”

The third position I'd like to highlight is the "waist-high position," where you elevate your hips, lifting the entrance to the vagina. With the entrance raised, it beautifully stimulates the G-spot to the portio line. Many women express a preference for this position, often stating, "I like this the most in the missionary position."

If your goal is to bring a woman to climax from within, mastering this specific missionary position is undoubtedly essential.

1. Place a pillow or sofa under your waist at waist height

• Insertion depth: 4/5
• Ease of piston movement: 5/5
• Ease of caressing: 5/5

This technique involves placing a pillow or sofa under the woman's sacrum, not just the lower back, to elevate the height. Placing it in the sacral region, where the Mongolian spot is, prevents the buttocks from sinking.

While this method offers a convenient way to elevate without exerting force, the drawback is the reliance on tools, such as pillows or a sofa. Even with two pillows, achieving the ideal position may be challenging, as they could be too low.

On the positive side, caressing becomes much more manageable without the need for hands to provide support. This positioning makes it particularly easy to stimulate the clitoris, allowing for simultaneous pleasure-inducing actions that may result in ecstatic moans.

2. Have you stand on the soles of your feet with your knees at a 90 degree angle.

• Insertion depth: 5/5
• Ease of piston movement: 4/5
• Ease of caressing: 3/5

The "suspension bridge" or 48 moves involve active participation from women. They lift their buttocks, bend their knees, and support their weight with the soles of their feet. Wearing it on their shoulders alleviates much of the burden, ensuring it's comfortable for women. However, depending on the height difference, proximity between chin and chest may hinder breathing, so caution is advised.

For men, adjusting the height may be necessary by slightly raising their knees. Finding the right balance ensures optimal comfort. It's crucial to support the woman's buttocks or waist firmly to prevent any shifting that could disperse piston force.

This position allows for back-and-forth pistoning or moving the woman's buttocks up and down, efficiently stimulating the G-spot for a heightened and pleasurable experience.

3. Piledriver and thrust at waist high position

• Insertion depth: 5/5
• Ease of piston movement: 4/5
• Ease of caressing: 3/5

This position involves lifting the woman's buttocks as if folding her body and executing a piledriver. The man squats down and pistons downwards. It's essential to note that this position puts a considerable strain on the woman. Compression of the throat may impede breathing, so paying attention to their gasps and adjusting the time and force accordingly is crucial.

With careful execution, penetration can be deep enough to reach the uterus, providing intense pleasure, especially for women who enjoy portio stimulation. However, if the woman's back is not well-developed, it may cause significant pain. It's important to be attentive, and if there's discomfort, stop the activity in this position.

Given the angle, caressing the clitoris may be challenging. Instead of applying too much pressure with the hands, leaning forward and caressing both nipples is recommended for added stimulation.

Introducing all 6 types of “bending positions”

The final position we'll introduce is the "flexion position," where a woman's legs are bent. Among the various missionary positions, this one offers versatility, allowing for easy penetration deep inside, depending on how it's executed. Additionally, there's a method that provides a complete view of the joints, adding a visually enjoyable element to the experience.

With numerous positions alongside the "basic missionary position," mastering all six of these variations is recommended for a diverse and fulfilling repertoire.

1. Bending position with both ankles resting on shoulders

• Insertion depth: 4/5
• Ease of piston movement: 5/5
• Easy to caress: 2/5

This is a missionary position where the woman's ankles are placed on your shoulders.

In the "flexion position," you have the option to raise your upper body or lean forward. For those aiming for deep penetration, placing your palms next to her hips and leaning forward is recommended. Tilt her legs toward her side to orient the entrance to her vagina upwards, similar to a waist-level position. This configuration is ideal for those seeking internal ejaculation, as it facilitates deep penetration.

However, be cautious not to let her legs fall too much, as it can exert pressure on her stomach and impede breathing. Individuals with a fuller physique may experience a more limited range of movement, so it's crucial to observe the other person's reactions and make adjustments accordingly.

2. Bending position where you hold the back of your knee and lift it up

• Insertion depth: 4/5
• Ease of piston movement: 4/5
• Ease of caressing: 1/5

In the "flexion position," you can add a playful twist by holding the back of the woman's knees and bending them to your desired angle. Further pushing in allows for deeper insertion, while opening the legs to the side exposes the joints, adding a visually exciting element to the experience.

Given that both knees are involved, simultaneous attacks may be challenging. However, lifting the legs until the buttocks rest on top of the thighs minimizes the risk of legs falling down, allowing for a more continuous experience. This method is recommended if you desire to engage both simultaneously.

Additionally, raising the buttocks slightly and pistoning down diagonally, while missing the G-spot, provides a powerful thrust, enhancing the overall pleasure.

3. Bending position where you hold the ankle and push it to the back

• Insertion depth: 4/5
• Ease of piston movement: 4/5
• Easy to caress: 1/5

In the "flexion position," consider a variation by holding the ankles instead of the backs of the knees. This approach widens the range of movement, providing an immediate increase in freedom of motion.

By spreading the legs horizontally, you achieve a provocative look with the joints fully exposed. Pushing the legs toward the woman's head sharply lifts her buttocks, allowing for deep thrusts, almost reaching waist height.

An intriguing aspect involves inserting and moving the woman's legs in circular motions without piston movements. This leads to distortions inside the vagina corresponding to your actions, providing novel sensations. However, simultaneous stimulation in this position is challenging. Even if you bring it close to her buttocks, maintaining leveled feet becomes difficult. This position primarily engages your hips for a unique experience.

4. Bending position where the legs are held together

• Insertion depth: 2/5
• Ease of piston movement: 4/5
• Ease of caressing: 3/5

This involves holding a woman's legs inside your arm. Place your hands at her sides, lean slightly in front of her, and shake your hips.

The number one benefit of this position is that it improves your tightness significantly. Since your thighs are almost closed, your insides will naturally become tighter as well.

Your legs will get in the way, making it difficult to reach deep inside, but if you want to hit the G-spot, there's no problem. If you thrust upwards from below, you can stimulate the G-spot more effectively.

Simultaneous torture can be done with nipples. However, since the legs are closed, the clitoris is impossible. Also, stop kissing. If you squeeze her knees that far, she will hardly be able to breathe.

5. Bending position where the woman holds her legs by herself

• Insertion depth: 3/5
• Ease of piston movement: 5/5
• Ease of caressing: 4/5

This version involves the woman adopting the "bending position, holding the backs of her knees and lifting them up" in step 2. The erotic appeal of this position is undeniable, making it particularly enticing for those with a sadistic inclination, as women assume a provocative posture that's hard to resist.

The simplicity of this position eliminates the need for additional actions like support or restraint, allowing complete focus on the piston movement. With unhindered access, you can even engage in nipple play if the knees don't interfere. Maintaining an upright posture is crucial for optimal enjoyment, offering versatility in exploring various erotic angles and facilitating simultaneous clitoral stimulation.

6. Bending position where the legs are closed and thrust sideways

• Insertion depth: 2/5
• Ease of piston movement: 3/5
• Ease of caressing: 5/5

Close the woman's legs and position her lower body on her side. This technique involves inserting and pistoning between her closed legs. Due to the piston's impact on the buttocks, full penetration may be challenging unless you're confident about your length. 

Despite potential limitations, this position offers stimulation to areas distinct from the traditional lying-on-the-back posture, garnering popularity among women who find it pleasurable. With both hands free, it becomes an easily adaptable position for simultaneous stimulation. You can explore various options, such as inserting fingers between her thighs to caress her clitoris or gently rolling fingers around her nipples. For those open to it, the position even allows for anal play. Leaning forward enables kissing, adding an element of close contact to enhance the overall experience.
