Coital alignment technique

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.

[2] By adopting this ‘pelvic-override’ position, the male achieves a fundamental genital 'circuitry': vaginal penetration in coitus with constant direct contact between the base of the penis and the clitoris.

[2] The rocking downward and upward sexual movement builds arousal that the partners let develop and peak naturally.

[3] A 1992 report by Kaplan and her sex therapist trainees described the team's cursory trial of the coital alignment technique (CAT), acknowledging that they may have resorted to old routines after only a few attempts out of fear of disappointing their partners.

[5] Their call for other sex therapists to give the technique more rigorous testing instigated a series of controlled studies by Hurlbert and colleagues reporting statistically significant results in the treatment of female hypoactive sexual desire.
