Coital alignment technique

The coital alignment technique

clitoral stimulation during sexual intercourse. This is achieved by combining the "riding high" variation of the missionary position with pressure-counterpressure movements performed by each partner in rhythm with coitus.[1]

Technique

When used as a variant of the missionary position, the male lies above the female but moves upward along the woman's body, until his erection, which would otherwise point "up," is pointing "down", the

dorsal side of the penis now pressing against the clitoris. As opposed to the missionary position, the male's body moves downward (relative to the female's) during the inward stroke, and upward for the outward stroke. She may also wrap her legs around his. Sexual movement is focused in the pelvises, without leverage from the arms or legs. The rocking upward stroke (where the female leads) and downward stroke (where the male leads) of sexual movement builds arousal that partners let develop and peak naturally.[2]

The woman on top variant is known as the reverse coital alignment technique.[3]

History of studies

The technique for coital alignment was first defined by American psychotherapist Edward Eichel,[2] and the original study was published by Eichel, De Simone Eichel, and Kule in 1988 in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy.[1]

Since then, the topic has been studied several times in the same journal.

hypoactive sexual desire.[6]

In 2005, Eichel asserted that "... the three classic problems of sexual "dysfunction" have been redefined as interdependent parts of ONE behavioral syndrome - the problems are NOT "diseases" ... [t]he "cure" is a fundamental change in sexual technique". In his concluding paragraph, Eichel wrote that "[t]he CAT model provides a fundamental matrix for the analysis of classic sex problems and other subtle, but widespread, sex-related health problems."[7]
