Answer 2

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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some time between 1945 and 1965 through a confluence of (apparently honest) misunderstandings and misinterpretations of historical documents.

Answer 6

Because the man is on a MISSION where as the revers of that position would be the woman would be on a MISSIONARY!

Answer 7

Premature ejaculation can be cured with natural methods. One really good one you can follow is http://cureprematurejaculat.toptips.org

When a man is suffering from premature ejaculation, he is often climaxing before his partner and in the case of most men it is difficult if not impossible for them to continue intercourse after ejaculating. That?s because chemicals are released when a man ejaculates and these are the same chemicals that make a person feel sleepy and/or not aroused. It?s not that they have suddenly lost interest; just their brain is telling them that the sex is over. This effect is more prominent after intercourse than after masturbation because intercourse actually causes four times more of these chemicals to be released. If premature ejaculation occurs frequently, it can lead to embarrassment for the man and sexual frustration for both partners.

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

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.

Answer 10

I think so. Maybe because it's such a mission for a woman to reach climax in that position.
