The cyber beef between The Frisky and Cosmo is funny and oh so wrong.
Take the Frisky slap at Cosmo about celebrated sex positions that men hate. I know for a fact that I was introduced to one of these positions by a man, so I doubt that he was considered when they wrote this article.
But it goes a little something like this:
With that being said, heres a look at some common sex positions that men dont necessarily appreciate in the way that sex columnists tend to indicate that we do.1. Reverse cowgirl. This particular position is endorsed ad infinitum in issues of magazines like Cosmopolitan dating back to roughly the 1400s, before sex even existed. The woman is on top and is facing away from the man. Magazines are quick to point out that this gives the guy a view of your ass.
The thing is, though, most men would rather be looking at the front of you, and this particular position greatly improves the chances of women suddenly sitting on our penises. This position is like walking a sexual tightrope. Dont be surprised if you look back and see us praying.
2. Standing against a wall. Its basically doggy style, only youre both standing. This creates considerable embarrassment for the man if hes not very tall, or even if hes about the same height as the woman. Theres also not a lot of thrusting room. Well be pining for an actual bed in no time. Besides, if youre over at our place, we really dont want you to see how completely filthy the walls arenot filthy in a sexy way, filthy more in an Oh God, I hope I dont contract lockjaw way.
3. Knees over the head. Another big Cosmo suggestion, for flexible women, is the knees-over-the-head position. Basically, the woman is in an extended crunch while the man tries to hold his balance and smells the womans feet. Needless to say, its not a great position after a long night of dancing, drinking, or both. Despite what the magazines say, the enhanced pressure doesnt make any difference to dudes. Its basically missionary position with gymnastics. Not so much sexy as confusing.
4. Sex on furniture. Generally speaking, any sexual position that incorporates furniture other than a bed can become a problem easily. Heavyset guys will traumatically remember scenes of Chris Farley bursting through a table on Saturday Night Live, and the thinner guys will worry about splinters or accidentally tipping over, no matter whos on top or in front or leaning back or whatever. Furniture just seems to get in the way for guys. Though we wont refuse sex when youre standing on a chair or balancing on a glass table, well be anxious the whole time, both about breaking you, breaking ourselves and breaking that damn IKEA furniture that we just assembled last week.
