Who let the dog out?
The doggy style works for both partners. While
this allows for the man to control the pace and
movements, for women, it allows for deeper
penetration with a higher chance for climax.
He’s got the moves with a view, and you enjoy
relinquishing control. You can’t deny that kink
factor. “I don’t orgasm easily, and that tends
to put undue pressure on my man; it makes
him feel inadequate. However, with doggy,
I’ve always received maximum pleasure,”
says Sunita Singh*, a 27-year-old investment
banker from Delhi. She agrees that letting her
man control her in bed, is erotic. And she’s
not alone. According to a 2019 survey by Skyn
Condoms, 57 per cent of millennials prefer this
position between the sheets.
Dr Sagar Mundada, a Mumbai-based
consultant psychiatrist and sexologist, concurs.
“In India, there is general consensus that
women like a man in control. A majority of
the women enjoy their partners being the
dominant one in bed. Perhaps it has something
to do with the Indian upbringing where men
are supposed to be in charge. However, recent
years have seen some women ask for what
pleases them, and they also tend to initiate
sex,” he says.

On a mission
We’re all for those acrobatic moves in the
bedroom, but when the outcome isn’t exactly
what you were hoping for, you need to switch
gears. Instead of getting creative, this is about
the right time to stick with what you know.
Believe it or not, most women prefer the
missionary position to any other Kama Sutra
moves. Dr Mundada says, “Women who like to
feel safe and secure in their relationships prefer
the missionary position. They also find this the
most intimate way to make love.”
Singh believes in the concept of ‘If it isn’t
broken, why fix it?’ “My partner and I enjoy
a healthy sex life, but we tend to stick to the
classics. For us, sex is about that emotional
connect, and it doesn’t get more intimate than
missionary. I particularly enjoy looking at him
while we both climax together. Of course, he

sexual experience, as is being open to
experimentation. Moreover, boredom and the
fear that a sure-shot road to climax may start to
illicit a rather lukewarm response, is likely to
creep in after a while. “My partner and
I have experienced that a position that
previously worked, stopped having any arousal
over time. Fortunately, he’s quite open to
experimentation and new sex-periences. After
some trial and error, and a few bumps, we
find our rhythm,” says 31-year-old Priyanka
Mohan*, a Mumbai-based yoga instructor.
So, what do you do when the heat between

the sheets is slowly starting to cool down? Start
by telling your man the new variations you’d
like to try in bed, change up your routine, and
perhaps, even try these statistically-proven
positions that guarantee bliss. Thank us later!
