Assessment comments The following comments were left by the assessors: (edit · refresh) I'm rather disappointed by this Wikipedia item. Usually I rate Wikipedia stuff pretty highly for both interest and accuracy but this description misses some crucial elements and the illustration is way off! I first came across CAT in an article by Philip Nobile called 'are you a CAT lover?' which I think was published in 'Cosmopolitan' in the late eighties/early nineties. (I've kept the article but there isn't a publication identity or date on any of the pages.) The article describes Edward Eichel as not only studying but having devised the technique. It also seems to be pretty accurate regarding the elements of the technique, matching other descriptions I've found on the web. The acid test will be reading Dr Eichel's book 'The Perfect Fit: How to Achieve Mutual Fulfillment and Monogamous Passion through The New Intercourse.' (published by Signet) which would appear to be the definitive text for laymen. There is also a video 'Orgasm the Natural Way' - check out www.marriagescience.com. As to whether CAT works - when I first read the article nearly two decades ago I wasn't particularly experienced and remember thinking that one would first need to find a bloke with a 'L' shaped penis! I've still not tried CAT as described by Eichel - but from other similar experiences (and a much improved knowledge of the relevant anatomy) I can say that I can't see any reason why, with a willing partner and bit of practice, it wouldn't be very effective. (Which is why I've looked it up in the first place! ;-D) Mrs40Something 20:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is it real?

This entry is illiterate. I also have a suspicion that it's not really a serious entry, but hey ho - each to their own. GRAHAMUK 04:54 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

A google search turned up serious discussion, so the referent does appear to exist. Hopefully, some kind heterosexual (i.e. not me - won't teach granny to suck eggs) will come along and de-stub this. - Montréalais

LOL. Hmmm, where can I get some of these here "orgasims"? Or does that mean they're faked? GRAHAMUK 05:16 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

For what it's worth, my money is on it being a serious entry. Without wanting to be too detailed, we've tried this and it pretty much works as described, though as Calieber notes this may not be true for everyone. I will work n this article as I note a few things that are worth adjusting - the image is incorrect (it really doesn't matche the description) and the description itself is far too functional to be of any interest or use. It reads like a car manual. Kouros 12:18, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I heard of this position way before 2000. But the article credits Cosmo with coming up with it.MrBlondNYC 22:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I think the Cosmo article that this article references needs to be tracked down or the reference should be removed. We don't even know what year it was published. --Beefyt 05:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Far fetch

NPOV -- it can't be stimulating to every girl, or inevitably give massive orgasms. --Calieber 03:12, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Subset of missionary

So CAT is basically one kind of missionary position right? I was wondering whether to include it as a variant at missionary position. It certainly looks like missionary. Sarsaparilla (talk) 14:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
