Doin' it: Hardcastle gets AU into magic position

I've been sidestepping this for a whole semester. In addressing abortion, STIs, domination and contraceptives, I've avoided what this column is actually about: sex. For my last column, I thought I'd talk about the main sexual positions. I'm less aware of anal sex positions because I don't have that experience, but I'll try to touch on that also.

First, there's the missionary position. This is usually man on top and woman on bottom, but it can also be anal. For heterosexual sex, the woman spreads her legs to receive the man's penis. As vanilla and normal as this is, missionary sex is very intimate because kissing is easy and there is usually very little strain between both male and female anatomy in this position.

PIERCE HARDCASTLE REVEALED! I did receive one question this week, and I wanted to make sure that I answered it. Dear Pierce, Who are you? -Anonymous Dear Anonymous, My real name is Josh Kramer and I'm a junior in the School of Communication. I also blog for The Eagle at www.theeagleblog.com. I'm a print journalism major with no particular background in sexual education or advice. After reading semester after semester of what I saw not as sex columns but wasted opportunities, I decided to try my hand at it. If anything, I think this column has demonstrated that AU students do care about their sexual health and want someone to take it at least somewhat seriously. As for me, I'm going to Rome next semester. Thanks for reading.

If you find the missionary position boring, there are plenty of variations with the penetrating man on top of the woman. Here's a free lesson: Lying on her back, the woman holds her legs out so that the man can enter and penetrate in an arched-back position, allowing for deeper thrusts. This can also be done on the edge of bed, making it possible for the man to more easily assist the woman in holding her legs up. Guys: Feeling like you're losing your load too soon in the missionary position? Try changing things up by shifting positions into one of these variations. The change will help you to relax so you can last a little longer.

There's also penetrating from behind. Most commonly, heterosexual couples go "doggy style" when doing it from behind, with the man penetrating the woman's vagina (or anus) while she kneels before him. This is also a popular position for gay sex. Another kind of behind penetration is spooning, with both partners lying on their sides. Men with smaller penises, or even average-length dicks of 6 inches, may have difficulty satisfactorily penetrating their partners in this position.
