Considered the most common sex position (although many surveys would indicate that it isn't) the missionary position is a basic lying down sex position where the partner doing the penetrating is on top, supporting themselves with their upper body. Despite the idea that this is the "traditional" sex position, it is actually not very good for allowing a lot of movement, and the angle may not be ideal for penetration.
Pros of the Missionary Sex Position:
- It allows for a lot of physical front-to-front body contact, as well as face to face contact.
Cons of the Missonary Sex Position:
- It can be physically demanding for the partner on top.
- It greatly limits the mobility of the partner on the bottom.
- If the partner on the bottom has any sort of physical pain or mobility limitations, this position won't likely work for them.
