Positions for Intercourse
Page One
Survey Results: Glamour Magazine, October 2000
Based on 1,500 women's responses to an online poll at Glamour.com
In response to the question, "What positions do you prefer?" the women responded:
Missionary 30%
You (woman) on top 28%
Doggie-Style 21%
On your sides 16%
Other 5%This indicates that while an individual woman may have a preferred sexual position during intercourse women as a whole do not. A woman is just as likely to enjoy being on top or having her partner enter her from behind as she is to have her partner lay on or over her. While the missionary position is assumed to be the most commonly used position, which it may very well be, women do not in general find this position more pleasurable than other commonly used positions. As a result, couples should not employ the missionary position just because they are led to believe that is what others do or prefer. It seems possible that if couples do not presume the missionary position is best, or more appropriate, that other positions may some day be at the top of the list. This is because social expectations do influence what women enjoy sexually.
