Many men (and even a few women) lack important basic information about female sexual anatomy and male sexual anatomy. The angle of penetration is important to women because there are a variety of different areas of potential excitement inside the vaginal canal and the vagina. The angle can be important to men both in terms of stimulation of the penis, but also general comfort (a wrong move can seriously spoil the moment!) One angle may provide more g spot stimulation , there is also research that proposes that cervical stimulation may be very arousing for some women, and certain angles will increase indirect (or even direct) cervical stimulation. You can change the angle of penetration either by adding pillows to your sex position or by physically holding your partners in a slightly different position, to experiment.
