THE old adage about reading between the lines could be updated with Reading between the sheets after new research has uncovered what goes on under the Ding’s covers.
Sex experts delicto.com did some clever number crunching to find out which positions come up tops in web searches from RG residents.
They had 17 different ways of making love in their supercomputer, and they crunched the numbers until steam came out of its ears.
In third place came cowgirl.
A Delicto spokesperson said that this position is not for the faint-hearted because it is to blame for half of all penile fractures that occur during sex.
It is an extension of the missionary position, with the person on top in the position where they typically control the movements.
The second most popular position searched by Reading is, apparently, the missionary position.
The spokesperson said its benefit is it is seen as the most intimate position, extremely up close and personal, increasing connection through eye contact. It is also one of the least intimidating positions due to the lack of effort needed to put one another in this position and carry on the sexual act.
And the most searched-for position is speedbump.
This is a version of doggy-style, where the person below lies on their stomach, typically with a pillow underneath them.
The delicto.com spokesperson said: “Discussions around sex and pleasure have moved forward in recent times and allow us a comfortable space to educate ourselves and to explore our interests.
“Missionary is seen as a more intimate position as it is face-to-face, however the interest for more acrobatic and ‘distant’ positions such as speed bump and cowgirl are very common across all UK cities.
“Many positions can be enhanced or adapted by the use of sex toys.
“It is important for couples to discuss what works best for each other when it comes to sex and this analysis highlights that across the UK residents are searching for a range of positions to potentially try out.”
