Introducing the CAT Position
When it comes to sex, it’s safe to say that everybody would like to reach orgasm, but it is not always easy to get there. Climaxes can be difficult to reach, especially for people with vulvas. However, there is one sex position that may help: the CAT position. It’s not an animal-based yoga pose—CAT stands for Coital Alignment Technique.
How to CAT?
To engage in the CAT position, the vulva-owner lies on their back (as in missionary) with their partner lying on top. The partner proceeds to penetrate with a strap-on or a penis. The person lying down then presses their legs tightly together. At this point, the penetrating partner should gently push upward until their pelvic bones rest on top of their partner’s. The fun begins when the person penetrating slowly rubs their pelvis against their partner’s, initiating an automatic movement of their partner beneath. Incorporating slight circular movements will enhance stimulation.
How Does CAT Work?
Thanks to this sex position, people with vulvas are one step closer to reaching orgasm. This is due to a unique stimulus created by the CAT position: the pubic bones of the person on top press against the clitoris and move rhythmically. This means that there is not only vaginal stimulation through penetration but also stimulation to the clitoris, the most erogenous zone for individuals with vulvas. Consider adding a pillow under the receiver’s hips to better stimulate the G-Spot.As with most new sexual experiences, it may take some time to coordinate and get started. Practising the rhythm can work wonders, and both partners can play with each other and their movements, increasing arousal and the likelihood of reaching orgasm.
Backed by Science
The exciting effect of this position has been scientifically proven. According to a study by The Journal of Sex and Marriage Therapy, 56% of people with vulvas are more likely to climax in the CAT position than in a regular missionary.
The CAT position offers great rewards with relatively little effort. Due to its particularly intense and close physical contact, along with its coordinated rhythm, a simultaneous orgasm for both parties is not only possible but well within reach. YES!
