How to Have Sex in the Missionary Position
- The wife lies on her back.
- She spreads her legs open, bends her knees, and either supports her legs with her feet on the bed or spreads her legs wide until her knees are touching the bed.
- The man lies on top of her face-to-face with his pelvis between her legs.
The man enters the woman and makes love to her with a slow, steady rhythm while kissing her lips, neck, or breasts. She can guide his thrusts by placing her hands on his butt or wrap her legs around his legs and squeeze to the rhythm she wants.

Full-figured couples may find it challenging to perform the missionary position. These simple and easy position adjustments might help you enjoy this pose more. Half of the fun is trying, right?
- Less Pressure: Instead of lying on top of her, support your upper body with your arms. This removes the pressure on her and makes it more comfortable and easier for her to breathe.
- Deeper Penetration and More G-Spot Stimulation: A slight change in the angle of penetration changes everything! Lift your pelvis and tilt it back a little for deeper penetration and more g-spot stimulation. This is best accomplished using a Liberator Wedge Sex Pillow positioned with the high side facing her feet. A firm, folded pillow placed under your butt might work, but it won’t do as good of a job tilting your pelvis or supporting your weight.

There are many ways to spice up this tried and true position. One of the advantages of this position is being able to whispering sweet nothings in your lovers ear. This greatly increases the pleasure of sex. The visuals in this position are almost second to none, especially for husbands. Be sure to look around and complement what you see.
The husband can also lay on his wife and reach under her to grab her behind. Be sure though to get back up so that the wife isn’t bearing all the weight.
Also if the wife doesn’t want to move her legs up as far as described in other positions (like Reclining Lotus or Seduction) she can put her legs up and wrap them around her husband’s waist.

My husband and I discovered a way to step this position up for our love making. Actually, he did. We discovered that I get aroused when I have pressure applied to my stomach right below my belly button above my pelvic area, so he placed a soft but firm sofa pillow across my mid section before he laid his body weight across me. The filling was exhilarating and quite satisfying, for both of us!

My wife and I discovered that this is the position she likes the best to have a squirting orgasam. Hard pounding thusts until I cum inside her, and them she pushes me out and, the geyser orerfloweth!
Husband Sojourner says
This position is popular for a reason! It’s so intimate and overall relaxing and allows for a variety of intensity levels. For us my wife like when I put my hand behind her head and kissed her neck/ears. It’s fun to just soak and not move while she makes circles with her hips. Alternate thrusting speeds and enjoy the intimate time with each other.
