Sexual positions

I'm writing a piece on sexual positions at the moment. As part of my research I'm re-reading the Karma Sutra and The Perfumed Garden. I'd forgotten how good they are - although not necesarily for the reasons you'd think. The Perfumed Garden has a chapter on 'Men who are to be held in contempt'. It includes any man:

  • Whose member is short, thin and flabbly
  • Who lays her down without previous toying
  • Scarcely has he commenced when he already done for

Who'd have thought it - a 15th Century sex text being the earliest incarnation of Cosmo.

Sadly, 'women who should be held in contempt' are 'prolific in talk' and have large feet. Being garrulous and having size sevens, I guess that's me. Damn.

Anyway, as part of the sexual positions piece, I need some vox pops so if you can be bothered, please add a comment about what your favourite sexual position is and why.
