> [@Umbridge](#): > > I think that discussion was referring to manual sex, not vaginal sex. During vaginal sex in the missionary sex position, the female does not move, because the man’s weight would press against the woman’s body. In many cases (most of those that I personally have had experience with), the man’s body does not press down on and immobilize the woman’s body. The man has these things called “elbows” that may be used to minimize the pressure. And, anyway, the part of the woman’s body that does move moves in a way that is typically not impeded by the weight of the man – in fact, pelvic rocking by a woman in the missionary position can theoretically lead to the same kind of damage to the penis as woman-on-top action. I can also state absolutely, from personal experience, that thrusting is not a learned (cultural) behavior. It is like when you have an itch: you usually do not just scrape your claws across the area once and then stop, because the action is clearly unsatisfying. When full penetration is achieved, it becomes obvious that the activity is incomplete, but there is no further to go, so what else does the man do but start to withdraw, which kind of feels good, and so the itch analogy. It is also possible for the man to penetrate full, hold, and let the woman rock back and forth (which feels good to her because of clitoral stimulation) and achieve orgasm without repeated thrusting. The thing to understand is that conception in humans is a comparatively low-frequency event. Estrous-cycle animals typically conceive in a single mating because their reproductive systems are built to facilitate that. Humans (and, I think, some other animals) have a best-case 20% chance of viable conception from sex, so they have to do it repeatedly in order to reproduce. Hence, both partners usually need to be fairly keen to participate, which one big reason we like sex so much. ---

**Umbridge** we require a descriptive thread title. Since I can’t figure out what point you are trying to make in your OP I will give you till I get home in an hour or so to let me know what you want it to say. Or I’ll try and figure it out and you might not like the result. > [@Umbridge](#): > > The woman-on-top sex positions are riskier, because there is a chance of penile fracture or penis fracture. If the sex is too rough or acrobatic, then the woman’s weight may accidentally land inappropriately on the man’s body, fracturing the erect penis. That is why it is important to have a spotter. ---

> [@Umbridge](#): > > I think that discussion was referring to manual sex, not vaginal sex. During vaginal sex in the missionary sex position, the female does not move, because the man’s weight would press against the woman’s body. Earlier in this thread, I have mentioned the female pelvic thrust, so you can tell I did not forget what you said in the other thread. Anyway, since there is a female pelvic thrust, it must only occur during manual sex or by manual stimulation of the genitals. During vaginal sex in the missionary position, the man’s weight would have prevented such movement or rendered such movement, if it did occur, negligible. This is not correct – women can and do thrust back in the missionary position. Further, when the woman is on top, men can and do thrust back as well. ---
