The title of this article is basically poking fun at Cosmopolitan Magazine and its way of letting us all in on the secrets that apparently nobody knows about that we all should. So really we are going to talk about a couple positions…the basics! There are four different “main” positions, of which basically all others are variations:
- Rear Entry: the insertive partner enters the receptive partner from behind.

- Missionary: also known as insertive partner on top, the insertive partner enters from above the receptive partner.

- Side Entry: partners lie side by side, either facing away or towards each other or even in a “+” shape.

- Receptive Partner on Top: the receptive partner “rides” the insertive partner by sitting on top of or straddling the phallus.

Every single other position is really just a variation of one of those.
So when Cosmo says that they know all 2,385,738 moves to make you squeal with pleasure, think about the four basic positions and how each one of their positions is just a variation. This empowers you to get thinking creatively! There are tons of ways that you can “bump pretties” so just get creative. First look at each of the four basic positions, next think about where you could do it, and finally how you can make it better and more perfect for you! If you love silk, then you could do it on silk! Making the best positions happen is really about getting creative and working things you love into the mix: start with a basic position, throw an arm here and a leg over there, and before you know it you found yourself a position that you have never heard of, that gets you off like no other, and that is completely yours!
Now, when you are getting ready for finals and you need a study break, think about 10 different positions that you could do. You can make them up; you don’t need help from a magazine, you got into the University of Wisconsin–Madison after all!
