The lateral coital position
The lateral coital position

The lateral coital position is a sex position described by Masters and Johnson in their Human Sexual Response. The position was preferred by 75% of their heterosexual respondents once they had tried it. The authors recommended that couples practice the procedure "in a humorous vein" while clothed and without intromission until proficiency is reached because achieving the position requires several movements.

This list of sex positions includes descriptions of various forms of sexual intercourse and other sexual acts between people. ... Time magazine, May 25, 1970 The Masters and Johnson research team, made up of William Masters and Virginia E. Johnson, pioneered research into the nature of human sexual response and the diagnosis and treatment of sexual disorders and dysfunctions from 1957 until the 1990s. ... Heterosexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by esthetic attraction, romantic love or sexual desire exclusively for members of the opposite sex or gender, contrasted with homosexuality and distinguished from bisexuality and asexuality. ... Sexual penetration (as opposed to outercourse) typically involves the insertion of the penis into a bodily orifice. ...


Moving into this position requires that the partners begin in the woman on top or "cowgirl" position. The receptive partner on top sex position, also called the jackhammer, man on top, woman on top, cowboy or cowgirl position, is a sex position in which the insertive partner lies on their back or sits down in a chair of some kind the receptive partner sits on top of...

  1. The man lifts the woman's right leg with his left hand.
  2. The man begins to bend his left knee without lifting his knee from the bed. Instead, he slides his left knee outwards as it bends, opening his inner left thigh towards the ceiling. He slides his left leg upward and outward until it has passed underneath her lifted right leg.
  3. Meanwhile, the woman leans to her left, and places her weight on her left knee. This allows her to straighten out her lifted right leg behind her, placing it inside her partner's bent left leg. Care must be taken at this point that the penis does not slip out.
  4. Once the legs are switched, the woman leans forward to the man's chest. He holds her body firmly against his body with both arms.
  5. Together, they roll to her right (his left), where her upper body remains. She may prop herself up on her right elbow or lay flat against a pillow. The man rolls flat upon his back, while they keep their pelvises pressed together. They commence intercourse.

This position leaves the partners both fully supported by the bed (the man on his back, the woman on her right shoulder and torso) except for the woman's left leg which is resting on the man's right hip. The man is flat on his back, while the woman is rolled slightly to her right. Their bodies form an angle of roughly 30°, leaving the partners face to face with the woman's weight on her right shoulder. Pillows are used under both partner's heads, more pillows may be needed to support the woman's upper body.


According to Masters and Johnson, "when facility in lateral coital positioning has been obtained, there is no pinning of either the male or female partner. There is mutual freedom of pelvic movement in any direction, and there will be no cramping of muscles or necessity for tiring support of body weight. The lateral coital position provides both sexes flexibility for free sexual expression. This position particularly is effective for the woman, as she can move with full freedom to enjoy either slow or rapid pelvic thrusting, depending upon current levels of sexual tensions."


The position was recommended by them for all couples, and also particularly in cases of premature ejaculation due to reduced pressure on the man. This article or section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject. ...
