An escort has detailed the position men find most enjoyable in the bedroom and it's a long-running favorite.
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, couples may want to try something a bit different in the bedroom to mix things up a bit. But there's nothing wrong with sticking to the basics and the traditional sexual acts, right?
Lillith Lodge, from Brisbane in Australia, has said the classics are very much still popular in 2026 and while she does have clients who want to take part in more fantasy-like sexual acts, there's no doubt the classics are still prevalent.
Lodge told the Metro that missionary is by far her most requested sexual position, which involves one partner lying on their back and the other lying on top facing them.

"Most clients are very basic and standard in what they want," Lodge said to Metro. "It’s not super common, definitely not a weekly event, to have clients ask for something outside of what I feel is 'normal'. It’s pretty much just missionary."
She added: "It can be very uncomfortable and not enjoyable for my clients to do crazy positions, unless they’re a really young guy. Sometimes they’ll ask for missionary with my feet up behind my head, (which not everyone is flexible enough to do), but that’s about it."
While some may dub it 'vanilla' and 'plain', missionary is the most commonly searched sex position, and there are many benefits to the sexual act.
Bodyjoys, an expert site in the field, states it's ideal for many first-time couples looking to get to grips with how to navigate the bedroom.
They say: "Missionary position is the go-to for many first-time couples as it allows them to create a greater connection. Eye contact enhances the emotional connection and makes for a much more sensual experience. The close proximity of both partners also makes missionary position a winner when it comes to communication. You can adequately communicate what you like and dislike through noises, faces and movements while still enjoying a sensual experience."
Such can remove that dreaded awkwardness, according to the site.
However, speaking to the Metro, Dr Louise Goddard-Crawley notes the sex position does have it's drawbacks.
"It also may feel more restrictive compared to other positions that allow for greater movement and range of motion," the psychologist explained. "For some, the missionary position may place pressure on joints, especially the lower back and knees, potentially causing discomfort or pain for extended periods."
