Is missionary normal?

Yes. Interest in missionary shows up across every demographic in sexuality research. The only requirements are consenting adults and honest communication.

How do I tell my partner I'm into missionary?

Outside the bedroom, low stakes: "I read about missionary and it stuck with me — curious what you think?" A compatibility checklist you both fill out privately (like Kinda Into That) removes the awkwardness entirely: you only see where you overlap.

What if my partner isn't into it?

A no to one item is not a no to you. Compare full lists instead of litigating one kink — most couples find more overlap than they expected, and the misses matter less next to the hits.

Penetration

Missionary

Everything you actually need to know about missionary — what it is, why it works, and how to bring it home.

What missionary is really about

Penetration. Penetration covers a huge range of acts, positions, and toys — and almost every problem people have with it traces back to pace and lubrication rather than technique. Warm-up isn't a preliminary; it's the act working correctly.

More lube than you think, then slightly more
The receiving partner sets depth and rhythm until they hand that control over explicitly
Discomfort is information, not a milestone to push through

Safety: Anything going in should have a flared base or a hand on it at all times.
