Sex position

"The pleasure is momentary, the position ridiculous, and the expense damnable."
- Lord Chesterfield on sex

Sex positions have been relatively standardized in position and slang -- the missionary position, doggy style, straddling and standing up are all very commonly practiced and talked about positions. This is primarily because they are four of the easiest to accomplish, with maximum pleasure. Any position you perform a sexual act in is a sex position, therefore you may feel free to invent your own any time you like -- names included.

Sex positions are of course very numerous and are based upon what the participants wish to engage in. Some are more romantic and intimate than others, like the missionary position where you and your partner can gaze into each others eyes lovingly. However something like doggy style (entry from behind, woman on hands and knees) can be a lot more furious and filthy due to the different angles and movement options.
