Missionary is delightful - not number one, but number two for sure. I enjoy the, um, dirty talk during the festivities. Having to yell over your shoulder (as in doggie style) makes it a lot less like whispering sweet nothings and a lot more like yelling swears at your partner, ya know?
Read thread and learn, Grude.
I don’t have a favorite postion. I like variety and experimenting. Missionary is nice when you place your legs and hips in different positions that help you get stimulation to the clitoris while contracting your pelvic muscles tighly and letting go…which feels good for your partner and you. And, let’s not forget “toys” while in the missionary position 
Also, anal sex with hips raised, legs up, while on your back is quite…nice.
I’m leaving town for a week tomorrow…I’m going to miss my SO…sigh…but coming back will be oh so sweet.
I know some women don’t favor it, but that is a far cry from saying do you get ANY pleasure at all from it?
Hell if I go by complaints a lot of women aren’t interested in anal, they just don’t get any pleasure from it(unless there is additional stimulation) and they really aren’t interested in non reciprocal oral(who would be?)l. I’d advise guys to stop pushing those unless your partner indicates a interest.
While recognizing that everyone’s physiology is slightly different, I have to say I’ve never understood how any face-to-face position could be said to lack clitoral stimulation. Shift a little, ferchrissake. Being on the bottom doesn’t mean being motionless.
I love missionary. I find that I have the, I guess I’d have to use the word “roundest” orgasms from it. And it’s great for the abs. 
The tissue that becomes the penis in the man becomes the clitoris in the woman: the tissue that becomes the scrotum in a man becomes the labia/outer vagina in a woman. Being penetrated, on its own, is probably roughly the same as having your balls played with: something that can be quite pleasurable, but not something that’s going to ring the bell, so to speak, and something that can actually be more frustrating than pleasurable when all is said and done.
Now, in the same way it’s possible to stimulate the penis kind of from behind when you play with your balls, it’s possible to stimulate the clitoris through penetration, if the angles are right. The “right” angle will vary from woman to woman and partner to partner. If the angles are not right and there’s no other stimulation occurring, orgasm will not generally happen. It might feel “nice”, but it won’t feel like sex-nice, it will be more like back-rub nice.
TL;DR: the vagina is not an inside-out penis, and the sensation of being penetrated is not the same as the sensation of having your erection stimulated.
I’m a guy, but the woman I’m presently having sexual relations with orgasms most consistently in a missionary position, no stimulation apart from PIV (well, pelvic grinding occurs) needed. Can’t tell how happy I am about this, since MP is my favorite position, too, all things considered.
Are the women’s legs straightened out, or on the man’s shoulders?
My wife’s favorite position is missionary because it allows us to make out during the act. Not the entire time, but when the mood strikes. This means that we usually don’t have missionary sex in the morning, because we haven’t brushed our teeth yet. Regardless, these days whatever position we’re in, she has to use her fingers on her clit to achieve orgasm. The older she’s gotten, the less able she is to cum without direct clit stimulation either from oral, my hands, her hands, or a toy.
But if we’ve broken out the toys, her favorite position is doggy. She has a special vibrator that works for her in this position.
I don’t think it really counts as missionary if it’s over the shoulders. That position is called cervix stabbing.
In my SO’s case, neither. She ‘squats’ in mid-air and braces her heels tightly against my thighs. This tells me she’s about to explode, and I just make sure I grind her mons pubis good with my corresponding piece of anatomy while proceeding to cum myself (the pelvic grind does nothing to me, per se - it’s all in the PIV) 
She’s the only woman that I’ve been with that does this, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Sometimes it’s impossible to shift into a correct angle, especially if the man is rotund of tum. If I were to shift my pelvis far enough for him to rub my clit with his pubis, he’d need a 12" penis to still be inside me. 
Actually, this particular partner and I really can’t do missionary at all, thanks to our respective shapes. The closest we can come (ha!) is “cervix stabbing” (face to face with my legs over his shoulders) and that only for a few seconds. S’okay…we have lots of other ways to have fun together!
See…this is the position I’ve never understood the mechanics of, even when I was skinny with a skinny partner. It just doesn’t seem like the penis is long enough to reach when my legs are straightened out, unless I’m in the splits. But I do have pretty fleshy thighs, so maybe that’s the problem. Or maybe my vagina is oddly far back. The closest I’ve ever made work straight legged is the outercourse my high school boyfriend and I enjoyed, where he’d rub my clit with his penis, “penetrating” my clenched thighs and rubbing between my labia but not in my vagina. That was nice…
Yay it’s catching on!
In my experience, they (they woman’s legs) are wrapped around the man.
Wait, the woman can orgasm too?
Who knew?
Yes, you left out that the cite indicates “no extra stimulation… no foreplay”. “The missionary position with foreplay, positional adjustments, and a partner who knows his partner consists of more than three small areas and who can change rythm depending on his partner’s reactions” is completely different from “the missionary position with no foreplay, no positional adjustments and a partner who’s trying to win a regularity prize while never touching anything but nipples and vagina”.
The second description is what I have filed under B for “bad sex”. The first one can work beautifully.
Either on his shoulders or wrapped around his hips.
Straight leg doesn’t work, the girl’s knees need to be bent and the legs apart. Unless one is particularly limber, I suppose.
sure, until it all goes “pear shaped”!
PIV doesn’t really do anything for me, so it really doesn’t matter what position we’re in. All of the guys I’ve been with do prefer missionary to finish though.
