Study Reveals '69' Position is Widely Disliked by Men and Women

While personal preferences in the bedroom are diverse, a recent study suggests a surprising consensus on one particular sex position that is widely disliked. Research conducted by NapLab, a portal specializing in sleep and intimacy analysis, has identified "doggy style" as the most popular position, with 29.4 percent of respondents favoring it. Classic missionary and the "cowgirl" positions followed, securing 21.68 percent and 19.33 percent of votes, respectively.

However, the study's most striking finding was the position at the bottom of the popularity list: the "69" position. This position, often perceived as the epitome of mutual oral pleasure, received only 3.89 percent of positive ratings. Many participants described it as a logistical nightmare that often leads to frustration and discomfort rather than satisfaction.

It's like two people trying to give each other a massage at the same time. For relaxation to be complete, one person should be doing and the other enjoying.

The primary complaint cited by both men and women is the difficulty in fully surrendering to pleasure and maintaining focus. One Reddit user summarized the issue, stating, "It's like two people trying to give each other a massage at the same time. For relaxation to be complete, one person should be doing and the other enjoying." This divided attention, requiring simultaneous intense stimulation and focus on the partner's pleasure, often results in an overwhelming experience where neither activity reaches its full potential.

Women, in particular, have expressed strong criticism of the "69" position. A separate study by Seduce AI involving 2,000 women revealed that 29 percent consider it the worst position. Beyond the issue of divided attention, many women reported feeling exposed and insecure in this position. The proximity to a partner's face can heighten self-consciousness, while the lack of eye contact and emotional connection can make the act feel mechanical and distant. "I try to focus on the sensation, but my head is too busy thinking if I'm doing it right and what he's thinking. In the end, I enjoy neither," is a common sentiment shared by women.
