The question is not whether you’ll change; you will. Research clearly shows that everyone’s personality traits shift over the years, often for the better. But who we end up becoming and how much we like that person are more in our control than we tend to think they are.

Vaginal intercourse in the man-on-top missionary position can feel wonderful. Many enjoy the physical closeness, the emotional intimacy , and feel that this position is a very important part of what sex is all about.
But the missionary position can also be problematic: According to research, only 25 percent of women are consistently orgasmic in man-on-top sex, no matter what size the penis nor how vigorous or prolonged the intercourse.
The reason is that in the missionary position, the penis does not directly stimulate the clitoris, the seat of women's orgasmic response. Sexuality experts have spent decades reassuring couples that most women's inability to have orgasms with the man on top is very common, and not necessarily a reflection on the woman's sexual responsiveness, the man's sexual technique, or the relationship and how the woman feels about it.
These same sexuality authorities have encouraged couples to let go of the idea that women "should" have orgasms during intercourse. They have encouraged men to help bring women to orgasm by hand, or tongue, or sex toy.
In addition, they have encouraged couples to use two other positions that facilitate female orgasm during intercourse. In the woman-on-top position, with the woman straddling the man's hips, the man can place a fist at the junction of their lower abdomens, which allows the woman to press her clitoris directly against his knuckles and bring herself to orgasm. In the rear-entry (doggie) position, either lover can caress the clitoris by hand and provide enough stimulation for the woman to come. But even when couples make these adjustments, many still wish the woman could experience orgasm during missionary-position intercourse.
Enter the "coital alignment technique" (CAT). It was first introduced back in 1988 by sex researcher Edward Eichel, who claimed that it helped women have orgasms during missionary-position sex. The CAT is deceptively simple: Instead of the man lying on top of the woman chest-to-chest with his penis moving more or less horizontally, the man shifts himself forward so that his chest is closer to one of her shoulders. As a result, his penis moves more up and down. In other words, the man rides higher on the woman's pelvis, and the bony base of his penis makes more contact with the woman's clitoris. This increases direct clitoral stimulation and may provide enough to allow her to orgasm.
The CAT made headlines, and led to a flurry of magazine articles, and a book, The Perfect Fit . But for reasons that remain unclear, the CAT proved to be little more than a short-lived blip on America's sexual radar. By the early 1990s, it was largely forgotten. For the past 20 years, few sex experts have encouraged couples to try it.
But quietly, research into the CAT has continued. A report in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy largely affirms what Eichel asserted: The CAT can help women have orgasms during missionary-position intercourse.
In one study that's typical of several, researchers worked with 36 women who could not have orgasms in the missionary position. All of them, along with their partners, participated in an 8-week sexual enrichment workshop that taught sensuality and sexual communication skills. In addition, 17 of the women were encouraged to masturbate to become more comfortable with their sexual responsiveness, a standard approach in sex therapy. Meanwhile, the other 19 were taught the CAT. Based on sexual diaries kept during a 21-day period after this training, the masturbation group reported a 27 percent increase in orgasm during missionary-position intercourse, while the CAT group reported twice the increase, 56 percent.
Even if a woman can have orgasms during missionary-position intercourse, the CAT represents a positional variation that can feel intimate, enjoyable, and erotically novel. But for women who have difficulty having orgasms in man-on-top intercourse, the CAT may provide a technique for doing so. Happy experimentation.

It's easy to dismiss missionary-style sex as utterly uninspired and snooze-worthy. The sex position — in which the receiving partner lies on their back and the giving partner is on top — is often considered the most vanilla, basic, and conventional way to get it on. But it deserves much more credit than that.

"Far from the 'boring vanilla sex' stigma that missionary, unfortunately, has associated with it, this position offers an opportunity for more emotional intimacy because you are face to face with your lover," says Kiana Reeves , Chief Brand Officer and educator at sexual health and wellness company Foria .

In fact, in this position, you could feel an especially powerful connection to your partner because you're able to look in their eyes, kiss, and enjoy full body contact, says Reeves.

Plus, there are lots of ways to take the classic position to the next level that you may not have considered. Here are some expert tips on "remixing" missionary for even more pleasure.

Lyndsey Harper, M.D., a board-certified ob-gyn and CEO of sexual wellness platform Rosy , encourages people to think of missionary sex as one "delicious dish on the buffet." "There are so many other options and add-ons before, after, and during," she notes.

Anne Hodder-Shipp, an American College of Sexologists (ACS)-certified sex educator, agrees, noting, "Missionary doesn't have to be the main event, or even the final event, so enjoy missionary like you would any other kind of sex — and remember that sex doesn't have to stop just because one partner has orgasmed."

Before diving into missionary — or any position, for that matter — enjoy activities that will boost your arousal, like sexting with your partner or reading an erotic story (alone or together), suggests Dr. Harper.

You might also try oral sex, vibrator stimulation (for clitoral stimulation, reach for the LELO's SILA Cruise ), manual stimulation, role play, bondage/blindfolds, and dirty talk, suggests Laurie Mintz, Ph.D., LELO sexpert and author of Becoming Cliterate and A Tired Woman's Guide to Passionate Sex . " As long as it's pleasurable and consensual, the sky's the limit!" she says.

Instead of one partner climbing on top of the other, consider a relaxed twist on missionary: Both partners can lie on their sides, facing one another while the receiving partner's leg wraps around the giving partner's body to make room for penetration, advises Reeves. This variation might be more comfortable — and maybe a bit lazier and tailored to morning sex.

"Start with pillows that can be placed under the bottom of the receiving partner," recommends Shannon Chavez, Psy.D., a psychologist and sex therapist in Los Angeles . This will elevate the hips, which, in turn, will enhance pressure, friction, and sensation to increase their pleasure potential.

Have the penetrating partner stand at the end of the bed, facing the head of the bed, and the receiving partner can lie on the bed with their hips and booty toward the edge, recommends Mintz. "The advantage of this is novelty and again, changing the angle of the penetration," she notes.

If you want to intensify the position, the receiving partner can lift and fold their legs against your chest while still lying on their back for deeper penetration, says Reeves. "Or you can ask your partner to hold your legs spread open and out up towards your shoulders for a different angle and deeper penetration," she notes.

" Clitoral stimulation is key for people with vulvas in any position," says Reeves. "It significantly increases your chance for orgasming during a sexual experience, and can help you reach different types of orgasms through the connected pathway of the clitourethralvaginal complex. This is a long word for the simple idea that all of our pleasure wiring works together when stimulated separately, which is how we can experience different combinations of orgasms."

In order to achieve clitoral stimulation during missionary sex, you can use your hand or your partner's hand or consider adding a vibrator, explains Dr. Harper. "A small bullet vibrator works best in this situation because it doesn't get in the way or a combined vibrator that can stimulate you and your partner at the same time works for some couples as well," she notes. One to try: LELO's Tiani 3 or TOR 2 .

Missionary lends itself to anal stimulation. Either — or both — partners can wear an anal toy, and it might feel especially pleasurable to the receiving partner, because it offers the sensation of being "filled up," says Hodder-Shipp. "It's also a great way for the giving partner to experience additional stimulation hands-free," she notes.

If you happen to be the one lying on your back just make sure it is a butt plug with a flat end, so it doesn't get in the way or cause discomfort, recommends Reeves.

"The missionary position allows you to use the senses as an arousal booster," points out Chavez. For instance, you can take in your partner's smell by nuzzling your face in their chest or neck while getting warmed up, she notes.

"Eye gaze and visually connecting with your partner can increase arousal and release hormones that accelerate feelings of safety and bonding," adds Chavez. Missionary also allows you to talk to your partner, read their facial cues, and more readily take in any noises they might make during sex. "All of these factors can increase your own arousal and desire," says Chavez.

"For women, depending on where we are in our cycle and what is going on in our pelvis, some positions just may not do it for us at certain times while others may be uncomfortable or downright painful," acknowledges Dr. Harper. For that reason, if you ever experience sexual pain, you'll want to make sure to communicate it with your partner.

"Sometimes this can be alleviated by a slight change in angle of position for you or your partner, decreasing the depth or angle of penetration," says Dr. Harper. "This can be achieved by rotating either partner's body slightly or by placing a small pillow under the bottom partner's hips."

A sexpert has revealed the one position that is guaranteed to make a woman orgasm.
Men often worry when it comes to pleasing their partner — but it turns out that a basic move is all that’s required when it comes to reaching climax.
According to sexpert Annabelle Knight, a classic bedroom maneuver is the best when it comes to pleasure.
She told the Daily Star : “Missionary is often sneered at and seen as very vanilla but it’s one of the few positions that allows for thorough internal stimulation as well as external stimulation — without the need of any additional fingers or toys.”
The reason missionary is often best for the woman all comes down to the clitoral stimulation involved.
And it seems that British lovers agree that the classic “man-on-top” approach is a good one as it’s the nation’s second-most favored sex position — with around 21 percent of couples favoring it.
