[edit] Anal sex

(see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Missionary_position&oldid=183316461 )

  • Exclude In my opinion, doesn't count as missionary. I always thought of missionary as a position in which the man lies on top of the woman face-to-face and thrusts his penis into her vagina. Sarsaparilla (talk) 20:06, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • No need to mention. The missionary position describes the placements of partners- it doesn't necessarily specify the type of penetration.-Wafulz (talk) 20:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Indeed. Although sometimes missionary "accidentally" turns into anal sex. Sarsaparilla (talk) 21:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Side entry

(see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Missionary_position&oldid=183316461 )

  • Exclude Doesn't count as missionary because missionary involves the man on top of the woman. Sarsaparilla (talk) 20:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Using a raised surface

(see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Missionary_position&oldid=183316461 )

  • Exclude I thought missionary involves laying on top of the woman? Sarsaparilla (talk) 20:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Anvil

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Include Clearly a missionary variant. Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Plough

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Include Clearly a missionary variant. Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Union of the Tiger

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Comment Looks like missionary to me, but is this just another name for legs up? Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Union of the Cat

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Exclude This doesn't look like missionary to me since they're on their side. Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Indra Position

(see see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Weak exclude Looks almost like a combination of the Plough and the Grip. But he's kneeling; I'm not so sure what I think of these kneeling positions; does that really count as missionary since they're not face to face to the extent that they can do the usual kissing and stuff? Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Union of the Octopus

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Neutral Too close to call. Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • My guess is yes. It looks like a "man-kneeling" variation on the missionary position. John Carter (talk) 20:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Union of the Oyster

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Weak exclude See my comments at Indra above. Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Depending on the exact definition of "missionary position", my guess is yes. It would really help if we had a clear and specific definition of that term, though.

[edit] The Dance of the Missionary

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Include Obviously a missionary variant. The name says it all. Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Posture of the Moon

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Neutral Hard to say. Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I would guess no. Neither party is "on top" of the other. John Carter (talk) 20:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Fruit Tree Position

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Weak exclude See my objections above for Indra. Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Posture of the Stem

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Weak exclude Kinda similar to the Anvil and/or Legs Up, but he's kneeling; see Indra above.
  • Dependent on "man-kneeling" qualifies - my guess would be yes, depending on final definition. John Carter (talk) 20:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Posture of the Reed

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Weak exclude This looks like one I've seen called "The Arch". See my concerns at Indra above. Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Bamboo Position

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Weak include Looks like a variant of legs up, except this is with only one leg up. I suppose that could be a missionary position. Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Lotus Position

(see http://sextex.hit.bg/pozi.htm )

  • Weak exclude This doesn't look like any lotus position I've ever seen. I guess Lotus is its own set of positions which involve the legs bent in that way. Sarsaparilla (talk) 19:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
If we were to want to specificy a different name for "bent-leg" positions, OK. Otherwise, not at all sure. John Carter (talk) 20:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Butterfly Sex Position

(see http://xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_dir/lacru/rama3.html )

  • Exclude Is this that much different than standing positions? See my objections to "using a raised surface," above. Sarsaparilla (talk) 20:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
