Coital Alignment Technique
The Coital Alignment Technique (or CAT) is a twist on the classic missionary position.
“Climaxing within seconds of each other is one of the most gratifying sexual encounters you can have,” says Ian Kerner, PhD, author of He Comes Next. “Every sensation is amplified since you’re experiencing it in tandem.”
The Rider
The Riding sex position is great for her to control the pace. Kerner suggests that when riding, you should “pull out so only the tip of his penis is in you, and make shallow movements.” This way, your clit gets the arousal you need to climax.
From Behind
One minor addition can make all the difference. Because few women can climax without some sort of clitoral stimulation, it’s important to be situated so that either the man or the woman can provide that.
69 Position
“We have the best luck coming together while 69-ing,” says Mark, a 27-year-old law student. “It’s just much easier to gauge how close my girlfriend is. I can either speed her up or slow her down depending on where I’m at—and she can do the same.”
