Spice Up the Missionary Position with Tantra

So what's lacking in the missionary position? A physical connection that maximizes pleasure for both partners. In order to heighten your arousal, here are some missionary-driven tips and techniques to try the next time you find yourself in such a position:

As the man enters his partner, he should lift up slightly to move his head closer to his lover's and line up their pubic bones a little better. In this adjusted position, his pubic bone will rub on the woman's clitoris -- something normally difficult to accomplish in the missionary position.

Try the up-and-down rather than the old in-and-out movement. You can get a rhythm going very easily and your hearts are very close together. Plus, sweet nothings are easily whispered in to each other's ears.

In another variation, the woman positions her legs onto the man's shoulders, giving her a lot more control over the stimulation of her G spot. She can rotate her hips and subtly shift her position to place the thrusting man at the perfect angle. Don't be afraid to try this -- it's not as difficult as it sounds.

From this position, invent a thrusting pattern that will really stimulate the woman and let the man last a little longer. Try four shallow thrusts followed by two deep ones, then repeat. And remember to keep your eyes open!
