The CAT, or coital alignment technique, is a super adaptation of the missionary that allows for more clitoral stimulation. Women who don’t normally reach orgasm during missionary may do so during CAT. Instead of the penetrating partner lying directly on top of the woman, chest to chest, with the thrusting movement occurring in and out horizontally, the top lover shifts forward and to one side so that their chest is closer to one of her shoulders. This alignment allows for the clitoris to be contacted more directly, and lovers can still enjoy each other’s breasts, shoulders, necks, heads, hips, and butts.

Another way to stimulate the clitoris in this cozy position is for the woman to slowly and carefully squeeze her legs straight together between her lover’s legs while her partner is inside of her (see Figure 14.1). Pressing the bottom of one foot against the top of the other will make for an even tighter fit. This is a great position if the top partner is well-endowed be- cause thrusting won’t go too deep, yet the friction in the vagina will be- come more intense and pleasurable as the vagina tightens. The slower thrust also enables her to feel the penis in a whole new way.

Stretching one leg out over her partner’s thigh is a version of mission- ary-style sex known as “half-pressed union.” This position makes for in- creased contact between her lover’s body and her clitoris. The position also allows her to create more sensations during sex, as she moves her leg up and down at different angles.

Men can also enjoy this position by having their perineum stimulated by having the bottom partner reach between his legs during thrusting. Es- pecially as he climaxes, his partner can use a knuckle to gently press into this area, helping him to last longer and providing more sensation.

The top partner can sit on their knees while the bottom partner’s but- tocks rest on the top partner’s thighs. This allows the top partner to more easily fondle and kiss the bottom partner’s entire upper body, scooping their arms under the bottom partner’s back, caressing it, and pulling the torso closer. To change this position, the top partner can lean back or sit up on their knees and lift the bottom partner’s pelvis during thrusting.

For deeper penetration, which can put pressure on the cervix, the bot- tom partner can tuck her knees into the top partner’s armpits (see Figure 14.2) put her legs over the top partner’s shoulders (see Figure 14.3 on the next page), or pull her knees up to her chest, toes pointing down or

straight up in the air (see Figure 14.4). The bottom partner can grab and spank the thruster’s butt cheeks, controlling the pace and depth of pene- tration a little bit more. Other variations include bringing her legs to- gether and straightening them so that they’re parallel with those of the top partner. (Note: Partners will not be able to see each other’s faces). The thruster can then grab the bottom partner’s butt. The bottom partner can also put her right leg over the top partner’s left shoulder to afford a differ- ent angle during thrusting and easier belly-button and waist play (see Fig- ure 14.5). These last two positions offer lots of opportunities for play along the back of the knee, the leg, and the ankle.

If the top partner wants to see more of their partner’s buttocks, slide them to the edge of the bed and prop the receiver’s legs on the top part- ner’s shoulders. The top partner can slide their hands under the bottom partner’s butt. If strong enough, the top partner can attempt to pick up the bottom partner for some unexpected fun during thrusting.

Woman-on-Top Positions

The woman-on-top position has long been hailed as one of the best for fe- male orgasm since the woman can control her own movements, allowing her to stimulate her clitoris against her partner’s abdomen. This position is most popularly portrayed with the woman sitting upright on top of her partner, with most of her weight on her knees. For deeper penetration, her partner can grab her buttocks, spreading the cheeks.

(Although this position is often referred to as “woman on top,” a male partner can be the top partner for anal sex in these positions.)

A major bonus of this position is that the woman’s partner can also play with her clitoris, using fingers or sex toys as she rides atop. Holding their hands up, the bottom partner can provide stimulation to the top partner’s breasts during thrusting. Other parts of her body are much more accessible—and visual—to her partner as well. Furthermore, leaning back as she’s riding her partner may trigger enhanced G-spot stimulation, caus- ing sensations to radiate throughout her body. She can lean forward and stimulate acupressure points on her partner’s chest (e.g., Elegant Man- sion; see Figure 10.1 on page 138). If she leans back, her lover can apply pressure to her Sea of Intimacy points. The Crooked Bone and the Trans- verse Bone points (see Figure 5.3 on page 80) can also be activated in this position. The top partner can lie down on the bottom partner’s entire body, gradually thrusting their pelvis into the bottom partner’s pelvis to stimulate these points.

The clitoris’s only known function is to accumulate sexual sensations and erotic pleasure! It holds a greater concentration of touch-sensitive nerve endings than any other structure in the body, including the head of the male’s penis.
