The missionary position is when the man is on top of the woman with both partners facing each other. The missionary sex position offers so much affection, allowing you to be so close to your partner. In the missionary position with both partners being face-to-face they can touch, hold, kiss and maintain eye contact with each other. You have a chance to explore each other while watching the expressions of pleasure on each others faces making it a sensual and intimate experience. The missionary position is also the most comforting positions to reach orgasm in which you both can climax in each others embrace.
The man on top position (missionary position) is also very versatile in which you can alter into a variety of other sex positions. When the woman positions herself just right, (coital alignment technique) she can easily reach orgasm by the man's pubic bone rubbing against her clitoris. If the woman wants deeper penetration than what the missionary position typically offers, the man can put a pillow under her 'tush' or raise the woman's legs and then pull her forward.
