Missionary Isn’t Boring, You’re Just Doing It Wrong
4/21/202632 min
I know what you're thinking. Missionary? Really? But hear me out, because I genuinely believe missionary might be the most underrated position in existence, and the reason most people are bored by it has nothing to do with the position itself. It has everything to do with what they're not doing in it. In this episode, I'm breaking down every missionary myth, sharing the techniques that actually work for clitoral stimulation during penetration, and answering your listener's questions on everything from G-spot orgasms to asking your partner to bend you over the kitchen table. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why the porn version of penetrative sex works for only about 30% of vulva owners and what the rest of us actually need to get there, including the CAT technique that makes missionary the best position for clitoral stimulation • How to tell your partner you want them to dominate you, talk dirty, and bring more intensity to sex without making them feel like they've been doing it wrong this whole time • Why incorporating a vibrator into partnered sex is one of the best things you can do for your sex life, and how to ask for it even if you're a people pleaser who's spent years putting everyone else's comfort before your own pleasure This Episode is sponsored by...

It's that mental checklist, the distractions, the wait, what about the mess moment that pulls you right out of your body, and that's exactly why I love Common Confidential, because they've thought about the details so you don't have to. Their massage butter is so rich, so silky, and designed to keep you present in sensation. It melts into the skin in a way that just feels effortless, so touch becomes something you actually sink into, not rush through. Then there are the love towels. They're super soft, absorbent,
