How turned on you have to be to use this position Some positions are only included in a couple's repertoire of 'moves' when the heat is really on. This may be due to the high gymnastic component, the level to which muscles need to be relaxed for it to be comfortable, or the level of abandon with which the couple makes love. According to this survey, women absolutely have to be turned on to receive anal sex. Giving anal sex also requires a pretty high level of turn-on. For men, receiving anal requires a high level of turn-on, as does giving anal sex.
Standing also requires a slightly higher level of turn-on than the other positions.
It seems that for men too, the missionary position is that old standby that doesn't require major passion. Overall, couples have to be really turned on to engage in anal sex. Receiving anal sex can be very painful if the muscles aren't adequately relaxed and getting super turned-on helps make it an enjoyable experience. 69 requires much less turn-on than anal sex, but requires more than all the other positions. Couples are in perfect agreement in that the missionary position requires the least amount of turn-on.
