What does your favourite sex position say about you?

Sex is the ultimate form of expressing your love and one of those things that varies between a purely physical need to your need for connecting with someone at a much deeper level. Apart from the fun, it also reveals a lot about your personality as you are at your most vulnerable when you are having sex. You bare yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually to someone and it is during this time that your innermost personality comes out.

Here, we deal with the 5 most basic sex positions and we talk about why one prefers one over the other. Read on.

#1 Missionary

Men: Missionary is one of the most conventional sex positions and if you prefer this position over others then chances are that you are more risk-averse than adventurous. You find comfort in your space and prefer the regularity of your life over experimentation. On the other hand, it also says that you would be more committed and sincere and once you have committed yourself to someone or something, you would never go back on your words and prove your words through your actions.

Women: Your preference for this position says that you are looking for security and comfort, more than anything, in the relationship. You are not the one to go around seeking one relation after the next but the one to fall for safety. You generally are not the one to question a lot of things and once you feel that you have achieved a sense of security (physical, mental, and emotional) with someone, you would live your life proving it to be true.

#2 Woman on top

Men: This is one of the most comfortable positions for guys and if this is your preferred position then chances are that you just like sitting back and taking life the way it comes. You are not the one to put in a lot of effort from your side but you do like the pleasure. This position is literally the woman trying to please you while you relax. The one aspect that does spring out is that you may not be the one for commitments and living in the moment may be the only thing driving you.

Women: When you are on top, you take charge. You decide how things are going to be and you provide or withhold the pleasure as per your choice. This goes on to show that you are extroverted, confident and your self-belief is unmatchable. You know your needs and you can get them without any help from the outside and hence your independence reflects in your sexual position.

#3 Doggy style

Men: A literal reflection of our inner animal, doggy style is generally believed to be seen as a sign of dominance. While the act may not be rough or you may not be harsh but if you prefer this position then chances are that you are high on dominating. It may be that you dominate in all spheres of your life or it may be that you are looking to dominate in at least one aspect of your life. Either way, doggy style signifies dominance and hence your slightly assertive personality.

Women: If you prefer this position then it shows that you are not afraid of being submissive, especially because you know it is temporary and you are more than capable of getting your position back. For you, it is more of an exploration into your animalistic side and though it may appear as being docile, it does not say so about your personality. You are the one to explore different possibilities and if at times, it means submitting to your partner, you don't mind and have fun while you are at it.

#4 Spooning

Men: Spooning is widely considered as one of the more romantic sexual positions. If you like this position then it means that you are a caring partner who is concerned with the safety of your partner. Your first priority is to make your partner feel comfortable and safe and once you have achieved that, your partner would return the favor in kind and the passion would be even greater than you anticipated.

Woman: If this is your preferred position then chances are that you are the sort of person who is good with emotions. You are more likely to be the one people confide in and the person who cares deeply. You like the comfort of feeling close to someone as that is what to tend to provide others. Hugs and kisses are your usual way of showing love and the sort of open personality you have is what makes you so irresistibly incredible.

#5 Standing up

Men: This position is never easy and it takes time to perfect it but what it does show is that you are not afraid of stepping out of your comfort zone and taking things to the next level. You are not afraid of working for your relationship and you like your pleasure as much as you like pleasing your partner. Slightly on the rougher side, you like your sex like you like your partners, spicy, risk-taking and adventurous.

Woman: If this is your favorite position then you are the one for equality. You need to know that you and your partner are equal in all respect. Since the position requires effort from both sides, it shows that you are equally willing to please as you are to be pleased. Not afraid of trying out something new, this position mixes comfort, closeness, and fun at the same time, reflecting your flamboyant personality.

These are just some of the most common sexual positions and the correlation between our preferences and our personalities are quite evident. People do mix a lot of these positions and may have a routine of their own but it's more about what you prefer that reveals things about you than what you actually do. Cheers!
