Man On Top Sex Positions

The man on top sex position is one of the most common sex positions. The man is on top of the woman in this position. At its best, man on top sex is comfortable, familiar, and intimate. At its worst, man on top sex can be considered boring, vanilla, and uncreative. But there are as many benefits to this ol' reliable position as there are variations, so don't look down on it too quickly.

One of the reasons why man on top is such a popular sexual position is that it is an intimate one. This sex position allows for a lot of kissing, eye contact, and body contact. The receiver has her hands free to explore the giver's buttocks and back, and can hug his body with her arms and legs. The man, in return, can press against her body, or hold himself up to touch and kiss her neck and breasts.

Also, the man is generally able to control the pace and depth of penetration, and therefore has more control over his orgasm, which is useful if he prematurely ejaculates or wants to delay orgasm. The woman can also control the depth of penetration by changing the position and angle of her legs. Generally, the higher her legs, the deeper he can thrust.

Man on top sex can be romantic, or it can be a little rough. If the couple prefers the man to dominate sexually, this is a good position for him to take control of the pace and intensity of intercourse.

The downside to this position for the woman is that there is less clitoral stimulation than in other positions, with the exception of the C.A.T. variation. Many of the variations make it difficult to stimulate her clit with her or his hands. Also, if her legs are up or otherwise constricted, the woman has little range of motion to grind her hips and thrust.

The men also experience a few negatives being on top during sex. First, he has to support the bulk of his weight, especially if his partner is small. And certain variations of the man on top position don't allow him to view her body that well.
