Why is it called the missionary position?
Is it because all the catholic missionaries of the past used to prefer that position when assaulting young children and is it still the case today?
Up with religion.
Answers:
your an arogant fool and stupid to boot.

your demeaning people who have been abused
if you want an answer to a question, why do you feel the need to throw in an insult?

I think so. Maybe because it's such a mission for a woman to reach climax in that position.
Mainly because my girlfriend keeps moaning . Oh god, oh god, oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh gooooooooooooooooddddddddddd
There is a common belief that the term "missionary position" arose in response to teachings by Christian missionaries that this sex position was the only "proper" way to engage in sexual intercourse. This is in fact a myth. The reality is that the term probably originated some time between 1945 and 1965 through a confluence of (apparently honest) misunderstandings and misinterpretations of historical documents.
Nope because its the common position and the missionaries advocate it. It shows a man superior than a woman even during intercourse!
Its because it is the most dominating position and men liked to oppress women
I thought it was a wrestling position.or is that just in my bed?
It's actually more legend than fact that the term missionary position came from natives mocking the preferred sexual position of the Western Christian missionaries amongst them.
I think you'll find most children sexually assaulted by Catholic clergy were local, thus the term "missionary" is not appropriate in this scenario. But you're just trying to provoke, not ask an actual question.
Missionary -to make the persons to know about God-Jesus(Love, Truth, Life, The Way) and help to achieve it. If it is not done with this motive, it is not missionary work-Just a position.
The teaching of any religion has the aim of turning the people to do good deeds.In Christianity,or Buddhism,or Muslim,or Baha'i,all have their own common missioners.
Because the man is on a MISSION where as the revers of that position would be the woman would be on a MISSIONARY!
well said EMBOO,
Ha,you should give best answer to soggykipper,she made me lol,wrestling indeed m'dear-feisty in your bed huh!However,i do not know the answer to your post,nor indeed why any of the sexual positions are named so-NOR do i think religion should be bought into sex,sex is intimate and between two people.NO audience participation-including god,should be allowed to enter into it...down with religion too!
Your terrible deliberation spoilt an otherwise good question.
Well, I guess it's regarded as a holy position or more conservative.
The missionary position is a common human sex position also used by certain other species including bonobos and armadillos.[citation needed] In his seminal study Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953), researcher Alfred Kinsey stated that 100 percent of married women surveyed reported using this position most often, whereas nine percent reported using it exclusively.
In the missionary position:
The woman lies on her back, with her legs spread either flat (horizontally on the same surface as her back), drawn up toward her chest, or wrapped around the man. She can wrap one or both legs around him at various heights: resting on the back of his upper shins or thighs, around his buttocks or back, or over his shoulders. Generally, the higher she lifts her legs, the deeper the penetration.
The man lies on his stomach on top of the woman, his legs between her legs, and his groin at the same level as hers to facilitate penetration.
Advantages of the missionary position
Both partners can see each other and make eye contact, thereby receiving feedback from their facial expressions and vocalizations.
Coitus can be combined with erotic kissing on the mouth, including such variants as the "French kiss."
Penetration is relatively deep.
The man's groin can directly or indirectly stimulate the clitoris, depending on how the act is performed.
A relatively quick male orgasm can be achieved if so desired; conversely, the greater control afforded the man enables him to delay his orgasm and thereby prolong the copulatory act.
The woman may enjoy the sensation of submission to the male and the freedom to caress him as she chooses. In addition, she is able to either hasten or delay both her orgasm and that of her partner through voluntary, rhythmic flexation and relaxation of the pubococcygeus muscles surrounding her vagina.
Very little suppleness or flexibility is required of either partner. Both are able to remain relatively relaxed and avoid fatigue.
The intimacy of full-body contact affords a heightened sensual and emotional experience for both the male and female.
The man can reach under and masturbate his partner using his fingers on her clitoris.
[edit]
Disadvantages of the missionary position
Either the man's weight is placed upon the woman (which may be uncomfortable for her) or he must support his weight upon his arms and knees (which may become tiring for him).
It can be difficult for partners to manually stimulate the clitoris.
There is an absence of visual stimulation, as it is difficult to see each other's bodies.
This position sometimes produces a quick male orgasm (premature ejaculation).
Some women do not enjoy the possibly submissive sensation of being under their partner.
Your most embarassing moment ever..?
If I was not.?
If you could offer me a piece of advice, in one sentence, to live my life by, what would it be?
Morals and breaking them?
Is there real freedom in the West?
Don't die Wondering ?
how would we survive the global warning?
does too much stress and unhappy feelings create long term promlens when you are older?
Up with religion.
