When Missionary Needs a Rocket Booster

Regular missionary getting a little too comfortable? Time to discover why we call this the launch pad sex position – because it literally launches you into pleasure that has couples trading knowing looks across dinner tables and texting each other “tonight?” at 2 PM.

We’ve spent considerable time researching this position (tough job, but someone has to do it), and we’ve watched couples discover that sometimes the difference between “that was nice” and “holy shit, what just happened?” comes down to a few strategic inches of positioning. Launch Pad takes everything you love about face-to-face intimacy and cranks up the intensity until you’re gripping the sheets and forgetting your own name.

Your partner isn’t just moving deeper – they’re hitting spots with precision that regular missionary can’t touch. Think of it like the difference between a garden sprinkler and a laser beam – the compressed positioning concentrates every sensation until you’re practically vibrating with intensity.

Who absolutely needs this in their repertoire:

• Couples craving deeper connection (literally and figuratively)
• Anyone whose G-spot plays hard to get in regular positions
• Partners who want to watch each other completely lose control
• Those ready to graduate from basic missionary to advanced pleasure

Equipment & Setup: Creating Your Perfect Launch Pad

Your mission-critical equipment:

• A firm pillow under your hips changes everything – it supports the arch in your lower back while creating the perfect launching angle
• Additional pillows for head and neck support keep you comfortable during longer sessions
• Quality lubricant because deeper positions often need extra glide

Problem-Solving: When Launch Pad Needs Fine-Tuning

Even the best positions sometimes need adjustments. Here’s how to troubleshoot common issues without losing momentum.

“My legs keep sliding down”: Your partner can channel their inner gentleman and help support your legs, or you can hook your ankles around their neck or shoulders like you’re claiming your territory.

“The angle feels off”: Adjust the pillow under your hips – sometimes moving it slightly higher or lower makes all the difference.

“It’s too intense too fast”: Start with your legs less compressed and gradually work up to the full position over several sessions.

“My partner seems uncomfortable”: They might need to adjust their knees wider or support more of their weight on their arms. Communication is key.

“We keep losing the connection”: The compressed positioning can make staying connected challenging. Move slower and let your bodies find their rhythm together.

Most issues resolve with minor positioning adjustments – like assembling IKEA furniture, it might take a couple tries, but once you get it right, you’ll wonder how you lived without it. If Launch Pad feels too intense initially, consider starting with Deep Impact position to build up your comfort with deeper angles.
