You know you've got a favorite secret sexual position--spill it

To this day, I don't think I've ever tried the Reverse Cowgirl. But that's just because of post-traumatic "Saddle up, babe!" stress. But I also haven't tried the The Wheelbarrow, or the Piledriver, and it is sad, how I now sound like I am terribly unimaginative and lame in the sack. You're supposed to have an entire repertoire of creative moves to totally destroy your partner's mind with your incredible sexual energy, flexibility and inventiveness!

That is what the porn movies say, and you know you can trust that everything you see in a porn movie is the right way to have sex. On top! Spin around and take it from behind! Flip over onto your hands! Now I want to see you do a reverse standing somersault with a 360-degree dismount, all the while keeping enough suction to start up a Harley so I hope you've been doing your kegels, ladies! Hup! Hup! Hup!

No. It makes me tired, frankly.

Most of the positions you see in books, in magazines, on websites that tell you that they sure have got the perfect position for you, bored housewife!--they seem inventive for the sake of inventiveness, more aerobic than really strictly necessary, and requiring some kind of degree in physics. Sometimes, you are expected to bend in ways that regular bodies do not go. Sometimes, I suspect that certain sexual positions have been invented entirely as very humorous jokes on a gullible, unsuspecting, vaguely sexually unsatisfied population by bored women's magazine editors, or sadistic pornography directors who bitterly regret their careers.

But I've also enjoyed (or laughed at until we've fallen over, or cramped up in) a number of insane positions, and there is always room for experimentation, right? Mixing it up a little bit? I'll tell you what, though--the best ones have always been the tips you share with your buddies over a couple of drinks, when your friend leans in and says, Oh my god, okay, I have to tell you, last night, we tried doing it this way? And it was amazing. I will always be grateful for having The Ballerina passed along to me (the missionary position, with your thighs together and your toes pointed) in this way.

Have you got a super sex position secret? What position would you like to pass along? And while we're at it, what's the most ridiculous thing you've ever tried? (Sign in anonymously, if you are shy, but share the wealth!)

    Um, honestly, I know it sounds like a cop-out, but I'm a big fan of plain-ol' missionary (and I'm not the tamest filly in the paddock, either). It feels good, and it's easy!

    I've tried alot of the weird positions, half of them are just plain uncomfortable. I always fall back on the classics, doggy is one of my favorites, as well as woman on top laying down (so reverse missionary or have him sitting up slightly) you can control what kind of sensation you get. I also looooove spooning, guy behind that way I can use a vibrator easily by sticking it between my legs (only position I can reach orgasm in). Unfortunately that one can be a little difficult too do because that is one position where size can matter. As for weirdest position, I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but like I said....I've tried quite a bit of those kama sutra positions lol.

    I've always like being on top. It's also nice when your guy sits up with his back against the headboard, pillows behind his back, and you assume position on top. For alot of Women that I know, it's easier to climax this way, because this position is a great way to tickle the g-spot.

    Geez...where do I start? Ok, before I do start let me say, I am relatively inexperienced but have had an amazing AND adventerous boyfriend for a good few years now.

    Excuse me if I don't know the names, I'll just descirbe them as simply as possible. Ok, here I go.

    The one where the girl lays on her side, one leg lays straight and the other wraps around the guy. If the guy is particularly well endowed, it'll be like "AAGGHH, my brain!"

    One good one for the guy that seems to get an instantaneous reaction is if the girl, while on top, circles her hips. Thumbs up!

    And, MAN...bring on the toys!!!

    My husband and I both really enjoy the from behind kind of lovin'. The position has become our go-to position because it is a sure thing. I will surely get mine and he will surely get his.

    It's basically like naked spooning. He likes it because I can lean forward, away from him, while simultaneously arching my back. The arch of my back makes him think we're doing something particularly naughty -- like making a porn video; and he can see my tattoos. I can twist at the waist and he can see the profile of my breast and face. It's all visual for him.

    I like it because I can lean forward and allow him to better access to my g-spot.

    After a few years of scientific exploration, I've come to find that there 5(five) positions that I absolutely love.

    1. Missionary- This on is a can't miss of any man. I also love the sensation of having full body contact and the opportunity to kiss and fondle while making love.

    2. Doggystyle- Just the tip of the iceberg of being adventurous, but both satisfying and pleasing. Many women seem to enjoy it also.

    3. Woman On Top- Once again, there is the full body contact (allowing for kissing and fondling). It also gives me the opportunity to explore with my hands, which seems to heighten the pleasure principle.

    4. Side Stroke- This is especially pleasurable when the woman's legs are closed together. It increases the sensation.

    5. What Ever Pleases Her- For some reason or another, I get as much pleasure satisfying my partner as I do being satisfied. It is a tremendous turn-on.

    In the past, I've tried everything from being a contortionist to sex in public places (which I must admit is a major turn-on for me). But, my greatest satisfaction comes from knowing that we have both been completly fulfilled, and have possibly created a sexual memory that I can reflect on years from now.
