An escort reveals the most favored position among men in the bedroom, which remains a tried-and-true favorite.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, couples might consider trying something new to spice things up. However, there’s no harm in sticking to the basics and traditional sexual activities.
Lillith Lodge from Brisbane, Australia, shares that classic positions are still very much in demand in 2026. While she encounters clients interested in more fantasy-oriented experiences, the classics remain dominant.
According to Lodge, missionary is the most frequently requested position. This involves one partner lying on their back with the other on top, facing them.
“Most clients are very basic and standard in what they want,” Lodge shared with Metro. “It’s not super common, definitely not a weekly event, to have clients ask for something outside of what I feel is ‘normal’. It’s pretty much just missionary.”
She continued, “It can be very uncomfortable and not enjoyable for my clients to do crazy positions, unless they’re a really young guy. Sometimes they’ll ask for missionary with my feet up behind my head, (which not everyone is flexible enough to do), but that’s about it.”
Though some might consider it ‘vanilla’ and ‘plain’, missionary is the most searched-for sex position, and it offers several advantages.
According to Bodyjoys, an expert site, it’s an ideal choice for many first-time couples as they learn to navigate the bedroom.
The site explains: “Missionary position is the go-to for many first-time couples as it allows them to create a greater connection. Eye contact enhances the emotional connection and makes for a much more sensual experience. The close proximity of both partners also makes missionary position a winner when it comes to communication. You can adequately communicate what you like and dislike through noises, faces and movements while still enjoying a sensual experience.”
This can help reduce any potential awkwardness, as noted by the site.
However, Dr. Louise Goddard-Crawley, speaking to Metro, mentions some limitations of this position.
“It also may feel more restrictive compared to other positions that allow for greater movement and range of motion,” the psychologist pointed out. “For some, the missionary position may place pressure on joints, especially the lower back and knees, potentially causing discomfort or pain for extended periods.”
