Sex therapist reveals the most effective position in bed and the answer might surprise you

A sex therapist got into the ins and outs of the ‘most effective’ position for partners during sex and highlighted the pros and cons.

Being a sex therapist, Charlene Douglas, knows a thing or two about what goes on between the sheets, and she had a pretty conclusive answer when questioned about the ‘most effective’ position to be in to achieve an orgasm.

While it may not be a sure thing for everyone, she highlighted that many couples find this position particularly stimulating.

Speaking to LADbible Stories during an Honest Box Session, Douglas spoke on a whole host of topics, including some of the most common turn-ons.

When asked about ‘position effectiveness’, she had to laugh and assume the individual meant effective in the sense of trying to achieve an orgasm.

She went on to say: “A lot of people say that doggystyle is effective in terms of having an orgasm.

“It can be very sexually stimulating because if you are the person that is bent over, the position can feel very nice, you can feel a sense of vulnerability there.

“For the person pounding behind, they get to see the visual of your bum in the air, arched back, and whatever it is they want to see, be it the penis or the vulva, they get to see that before they enter as well.

“Usually, people say they cum quickly from that position as well.”

Douglas did go on to note that there are still some ‘issues’ with the position when it comes to overall intimacy, even though it is a good position to ensure a climax.

She continued: “It is probably not the most intimate position because you are not looking into each other's eyes, so you can’t really tell what your partner is feeling as such or thinking.

“But in terms of the physical, the bang, bang, bang, get to the point, oftentimes people will say that is the one they will go for.”

Douglas also opened up about the most common question she gets in person once people find out her profession.

She said: “So oftentimes, I'll go to a bar and people will find out that I'm a sex therapist and they'll say to me, ‘How many times should you really be having sex like in a week?'

“And they're all waiting for my answer. Everyone leans in waiting for me to give that number to work out whether they're in the normal range or not.”

She noted that ‘statistically speaking’ once a week is the average amount for most couples.
