What your favourite sex position says about YOU… and, boys, it’s good news if your girlfriend loves missionary
Sex and relationship expert Annabelle Knight reveals what your top humps mean...
ARE you more of a cowgirl or a missionary lover? Your favourite sex position can say a lot about your personality, so what does yours reveal?
Here, sex and relationship expert Annabelle Knight explains what YOUR top humps show about your personality - and how to do the moves in bed...
1. Missionary
This one usually needs little explaining, but for the sake of clarity here we go. This position requires the woman to lay down with her legs spread in order for her partner to lie between and enter her.
Missionary can be tailored in a couple of ways for different sensations, for example if your guys on the smaller side you may want to cross your ankles behind the small of his back and use them to pull him into you further.
To get the most from this position you could try adapting it slightly, for prolonged clitoral stimulation bend your legs and drop your knees to the side.
This makes it easier for him to get better access to your external hot spots. Missionary offers full body contact and is one of the few positions to increase your chances of a blended orgasm organically.
Women who love this position tend to be more open to an emotionally intimate relationship.
You are fully at one with your partner with your eyes, mouths and hearts close to one another.
And, due to the fact that you can alter your levels of stimulation easily, you’ll probably be someone who likes to be in control and who knows what they want and how to get it effectively.
2. Cowgirl
Imagine riding a horse, but replace the horse with your partner.
This position is where you saddle up and ride your partner, with him lying on his back and you on top with one leg either side of him.
This position is great for showing off your body, pretty much everyone looks absolutely fantastic from in this position and it means your clitoris, nipples and other erogenous zones are available for a bit of extra attention.
To truly get the most from this position I’d recommend adding a sex toy to the mix.
Something petite and discrete will work wonders during Cowgirl, a bullet vibrator slips easily between partners and makes for a very welcome addition, especially if you want a bit of extra bang for your buck.

Something like the So Devine bullet vibrator would work wonderfully, as it’s tapered tip means pin point clitoral pleasure is all yours!
Women who prefer this position are body confident and usually quite dominant in their relationships.
You’ll likely be a no nonsense type of woman who knows exactly what she wants.
3. Doggy Style
No, not the snoop dog song but the sexual position where you get on all fours and let him penetrate you from behind.
This position is great if you like all encompassing penetration or if your man is a little on the smaller side and you want to make the most of every thrust.
To make this position even better arch your back and stick your bum out, this will give him an incredible view of your body and you’ll feel every sensation so much better.
If you’re a lady that loves Doggy Style then you’ll likely be someone who’s a bit of an exhibitionist at heart as Doggy taps into your most animalistic of instincts.
4. Spooning
This position is a little like a relaxed doggy style, you both lie on your sides, facing the same direction.
You press your buttocks into his pelvic area and he enters you from behind. This has all the penetrative benefits of Doggy style with a bit more intimacy.
Positions like this one are great for lazy lovemaking and because the entirety of your weight is supported by whatever your laying on your hands are totally free to provide a bit of extra stimulation.
Have him reach around you and gently squeeze and play with your nipples, nipple stimulation releases a hormone called oxytocin, which is essential for arousal.
Your nipples are quite literally a love button!
Spooning says a lot about you and if it’s your favourite position then it’s more than likely that you’re an affectionate person who thrives on intimacy.
You’ll likely be caring both in and out of the bedroom.
5. Reverse Cowgirl
This position is exactly the same as cowgirl but instead of facing your partner you turn around.
This position is great for overall control of the angle and depth of penetration and, as an added bonus it gives your partner a fantastic view too.
If you want to spice up Reverse Cowgirl simply use a vibrating love ring, but turn the stimulator to the underside of his penis.
He’ll enjoy an enhanced erection and you’ll get great clitoral stimulation, all completely hands free.
Women who love this position are feisty and powerful.
You’ll know what you want and how to get it and more importantly you won’t be afraid to ask but you’ll also have a softer side, as Reverse cowgirl is as much about giving your partner a treat as it is about your pleasure.
6. Stand to attention
These are any position where at least one of you has to be on your feet.
They’re usually done with the support of a piece of furniture and require a little more balance, strength and are great for scratching that itch straight away as you don’t even need to take all your clothes off.
Standing positions can be adapted to any room inside, or outside of the house and as a result mean that they’re great for passionate and spontaneous sex.
If you love to do it upright then you’re more than likely going to be an impulsive sort of person.
You’ll look after yourself and value the stimulatory benefits as well as the emotional ones.

Having a favourite sex position is great, but it’s good to remember that variety is the spice of life.
I recommend experimenting with something new every other time you have sex and who knows, you may soon find yourself a new go to position.
Yesterday, this Fabulous columnist argued men and sex should ALWAYS come before your mates – and it’s OK to go after your friend’s fella (like Muggy Megan).
And another writer revealed she uses men for sex just like Megan - and insists there's no shame in it.
