It's no secret that sex is a big part of our lives. And while there are many different positions and techniques to choose from, there always seems to be a negative stigma surrounding the classic missionary position. But let's be real, sometimes you just want something simple and easy that will still get the job done. And that's perfectly okay. In fact, vanilla sex is making a comeback and we're all here for it. In a recent Vogue article, it was stated that being "beige in bed" is actually hot again. And if you need proof, just take a look at the popular TikTok song "Vanilla Baby" by Jack Harlow.
To dive deeper into the benefits of the missionary position, we spoke with Dr. Louise Goddard-Crawley, a psychologist at conceivingconception.com. According to her, this position is perfect for couples who want to feel emotionally connected and close to each other. The face-to-face nature of the position allows for intimate moments such as making eye contact, kissing, and communicating during the act. And for those who struggle with pain, the missionary position is one of the most comfortable options as it doesn't require a lot of flexibility or strength. Plus, it can be easily modified to accommodate different preferences and needs, such as using pillows for support.
But how can we make the most out of this position? Dr. Louise suggests using it as an opportunity to slow down and focus on building a deeper connection with your partner. Discussing feelings, needs, and desires can help strengthen your bond and potentially add some excitement to your sex life. It's also a great position to try techniques like edging, which can enhance the pleasure and deepen the intimacy between partners. By taking the time to truly savor the experience, you can create a more meaningful and fulfilling sexual encounter.
Of course, like with any position, there may be some drawbacks. If you constantly rely on the missionary position, you may find yourself getting bored over time. So, it's important to switch things up every now and then. Additionally, some couples may find it less effective or pleasurable depending on their individual physiology. It may also be uncomfortable or cause pain for extended periods, especially for those with joint issues. So, it's important to listen to your body and communicate with your partner to find what works best for both of you.
But let's get back to the buzz around "vanilla sex." As Dr. Louise reminds us, while there's nothing wrong with enjoying more conventional sexual experiences, it's important to recognize that everyone has different preferences and desires. And we're starting to see a shift in the conversation, with people challenging the idea that "vanilla sex" is somehow less satisfying than kinkier or BDSM practices. Ultimately, it's all about respecting individual choices and fostering open communication between partners to ensure that everyone feels fulfilled and respected in their intimate lives.
