Not that we need this, but here is a interactive guide to position selection based on how much effort you want her to put into it and how much you’re willing to add to the event. I don’t see it as NSFW, but let’s be safe anyway. [here](http://www.sofeminine.co.uk/m/relationships/kama-sutra-positions.html) ---

> [@Jim\_B](#): > > As I said, > > If that isn’t clear, let me put it this way: What _angle_ is the human vagina _bent_ at? Does it more easily allow the rear, or the missionary position? That will vary with the people involved. Sometimes it’s the missionary, sometimes doggy style, sometimes cowgirl. ---

Isn’t it obvious? Woman on trapeze, hanging by her knees, man on trampoline wearing wetsuit. ---

> [@Colophon](#): > > According to the accompanying text, that actually shows girl-on-girl bonobo action. From the linked article: > [@](#): > > The female bonobo has a large clitoris and is often seen with another female being mounted ventrally. The clitoris is rubbed with the other clitoris which is called “G-G rubbing”. This behavior is unique to the species. Unique to bonobos? Um, I have some videos involving humans that appear to show otherwise… :dubious: Unless I’m misunderstanding what’s happening. The camera angles aren’t always the best. More research is clearly needed, BRB. ---
