Sex Position: Coital Alignment Technique

This sex position is all about finding the right angle. The Coital Alignment Technique (CAT) takes missionary from meh to monumental with just a little shift of your hips.

How Do I Do It?

This classic has been around for a while, maybe you’re a switched on sex-machine and have been using the Coital Alignment Technique all along! But for everybody else, let’s get your hearts, minds, and private parts alligned.

Start by getting into a typical missionary position (reciever on the bottom, giver on the top). Now, rather than thrusting in and out, the giver will want to scooch their body up a little higher so their chest is lined up with their partner’s shoulders. Depending on your heights you might have to play around a little to get it just right but the idea is that the penis will be angled downwards. As you thrust, depending on penis size, the base or shaft will rub against the clitoris providing sensational stimulation. Don’t worry if you’re not getting very deep, the opening of the vagina is plenty sensitive and, if you’ve got it right, the penis will be stimulating by sliding between her labia (ahem, the flaps).

Why Should I Try This Sex Position?

Did you know that only 20% of women can orgasm from penetration alone? Using the Coital Alignment Technique can help bridge that gap, rather than using sex toys or your hands. It’s almost more intimate than the other options as it brings your chests close. It’s perfect if you want to make slow, passionate love like out of a movie or Jilly Cooper novel.

As a variation on classic missionary it’s also extremely easy. Really there’s no excuse not to at least try it! Also, if it’s difficult to find your partner’s G-spot (don’t worry, some of us are built like that) this can be a neat compromise – especially if you mix it up with other techniques like shallowing.

Make It More Orgasmic

If you or your partner has a small clitoris it can make it harder to ‘hit the spot’ with this sex technique. However, there’s a sex toy to help! Just like a penis pump, a pussy pump makes the vulva swell and engorge. This increases both size and sensitivity so the clitoris is both easier to find and grind against. They can be a bit intimating to look at but the Plumper by Bondara also features vibrations and is no bigger than a cup-and-ball toy. Perfect for plumping up a pussy duruing foreplay!

This position is ideal for using with a vibrating cock ring. In typical positions cock rings can be a little hit or miss but are best when it comes to grinding. Something like the Cum-eleon, which takes inspiration from the viral ‘Snail vibe‘, certainly stands out as its unfurling motion means constantly clitoral contact. (P.S if you’re looking for an affordable snail vibe, check out our Treble Cleft)

Another go-to sex toy for missionary sex positions are couples vibrators. Sometimes called C-vibrators because of their shape, they sit on the shaft of the penis to vibrate against the clitoris. That also have a slim internal arm to add girthy and vibration to your cock. A fun starter is the Play Mate as it’s not too long, and not too thick.
