missionary position
Conventional lovemaking arrangement
The missionary position is a sexual posture in which one partner lies face-up while the other lies on top, facing them.
It's the most conventional position for heterosexual intercourse in Western cultures: They stuck to missionary position.
The name supposedly reflects European missionaries teaching it as the "proper" way to have sex.
