Insert the penis into the vagina.
Step 4

Tips & Warnings

This is a great position for pregnant women, as it doesn't put a lot of stress on her body and allows for easy insertion. It's also good for couples seeking to avoid strenuous activity during sex.
Couples that want to embrace or kiss during their lovemaking will find plenty of opportunity in this position.
Both partners will have their hands free, able to provide additional stimulation.
Use a condom or other form of birth control. Condoms also reduce the risk of spreading sexually transmitted diseases.
