A sex therapist delved into the details of the ‘most effective’ sexual position for partners, outlining both its advantages and disadvantages.
Charlene Douglas, an experienced sex therapist, shared her insights regarding the dynamics in the bedroom. When asked about the ‘most effective’ position for achieving an orgasm, she offered a definitive perspective.
While this may not apply universally, she noted that many couples find this particular position especially arousing.
During an Honest Box Session with LADbible Stories, Douglas addressed various topics, including common turn-ons.
When the topic of ‘position effectiveness’ was brought up, she humorously acknowledged that the question likely pertained to reaching orgasm.
She explained: “A lot of people say that doggystyle is effective in terms of having an orgasm.”
“It can be very sexually stimulating because if you are the person that is bent over, the position can feel very nice, you can feel a sense of vulnerability there.
“For the person pounding behind, they get to see the visual of your bum in the air, arched back, and whatever it is they want to see, be it the penis or the vulva, they get to see that before they enter as well.
“Usually, people say they cum quickly from that position as well.”
Despite its effectiveness in achieving a climax, Douglas pointed out that the position might lack in terms of emotional connection and intimacy.
She elaborated: “It is probably not the most intimate position because you are not looking into each other’s eyes, so you can’t really tell what your partner is feeling as such or thinking.
“But in terms of the physical, the bang, bang, bang, get to the point, oftentimes people will say that is the one they will go for.”
Douglas also discussed the most frequent inquiry she receives when people learn about her profession.
She shared: “So oftentimes, I’ll go to a bar and people will find out that I’m a sex therapist and they’ll say to me, ‘How many times should you really be having sex like in a week?’
“And they’re all waiting for my answer. Everyone leans in waiting for me to give that number to work out whether they’re in the normal range or not.”
She mentioned that statistically, once a week is the average frequency for most couples.
