Turns out, Most Women Aren't Really Into These Sex Positions
Nearly one in three women rank reverse cowgirl as their absolute least favorite position. They're not fans of 69ing either.

When it comes to getting busy in the bedroom, women always look for emotional connection and eye contact over the stuff guys ask them to do from porn, which requires more flexibility and innate acrobatic ability than you would initially think.
It isn't all about the performances you see in porn and in steamy movies—women really value the almost spiritual link that tethers them to their partners via eye contact and an overall emotional connection.
Based on a January report by AI-based adult content platform Seduced AI, 31 percent of women dislike the "Reverse Cowgirl" position the most due to physical discomfort on the knees, back, and "zero intimacy."
Next up on bedroom moves your woman may not like is the often joked about "69," with 29 percent of women saying they have it as their least favorite due to physical difficulty and the multi-tasking required to give and receive pleasure simultaneously.
The report, which asked 2,590 women about their sex preferences, noted that many of the respondents couldn't focus on their own feelings, which eventually led to recognizable feelings of frustration and a lack of sexual satisfaction.
The gist of it is that some positions that men think rule are often a drag for women, such as the "Woman-on-Top," which makes them self-conscious about their appearance and is just a whole lot of work and not enough pleasure.
"A lot of people try to recreate it and feel like they're doing something wrong. Trying out new kinks is always exciting, but the pleasure and comfort of all people involved should be a priority," according to the report.
What women really want in the bedroom
"Missionary" is where it's at. 10 percent of women (278 respondents) voted it as the top choice for sex thanks to the copious amounts of eye contact, emotional connection, and an emphasis on intimacy. The face-to-face setup of this certified classic and the prototypical love-making also benefits from placing a pillow in play (specifically under the hips) for maximum pleasure and to hit all g-spots in pound town.
"Doggy Style" is a surprise inclusion on this S-tier positions list since it lacks a lot of the eye contact and emotional connection, but makes up for it with deep penetration at an angle that stimulates the lady's sensitive spots.
Our second-runner-up in positions women love is "Receiving Oral", with 7.2 percent of women saying it allows them to relax and for their partner to do all the work this time.
"When both people feel heard and comfortable enough to adjust what isn't working, sex life and romantic life both get better," according to Seduced AI. "That's the difference between performing for an imaginary audience and actually enjoying what you're doing here and now."
