CAT, the foolproof way to reach orgasm

Orgasm is not an end in itself, but we do not say no to some tips to achieve it. The CAT technique could well make us climb to 7th heaven.

In a society that boasts of ever more transgressive sexuality, the missionary position is associated with boredom and routine. Not only is there no shame in loving vanilla sex, there are plenty of ways to spice up this sex position. This is the case with CAT – for coital alignment technique. A method that promises a lot of fun. We explain to you.

What is the CAT technique?

According to a study published in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, a simple little adjustment by the missionary would increase the frequency of orgasms by 56% in women and people with vaginas, who usually have difficulty achieving enjoyment in this way. It is the CAT, abbreviation of "Coïtal Alignment Technique" (coital alignment technique). It was named as such by the American sex therapist Edward Eichel to underline how it could improve the sexual compatibility of the partners and allow them to reach orgasm.

How to practice the CAT sex position?

Concretely, this position consists of slightly changing the position of the person above. She will position her shoulders approximately at the level of her / her partner's head and lean on the elbows rather than the hands. The woman or person with a vagina should keep their legs tight together during penetration. So, instead of just stimulating the vagina, the CAT will also stimulate the clitoris. Body movements consist mainly of horizontal up and down glides. The comings and goings are concentrated in the pelvis, without leverage of the arms or legs.

The best sex toys for double stimulation

The cat's position for double stimulation

This missionary variant intensifies the pressure exerted on the glans of the clitoris, an essential point for more pleasure, especially when you know that penetration alone slows down orgasm. Still in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy, Debby Herbenick of Indiana University published a study in 2017 that confirmed that only 18.4% of 1,055 women surveyed reached orgasm during penetration. In contrast, the percentage rose to 36.6% when they stroked their clitoris during intercourse. Thanks to a double stimulation, the CAT technique would thus be more conducive to enjoyment.

But while the cat can offer a few roars of pleasure, don't think he's magic. It doesn't offer 7th heaven right away and begs to be tried again and requires a little persistence to find the perfect angle. And above all, we do not put pressure on ourselves, at the risk of forgetting the essential: the pleasant sensations and the shared pleasure of the moment.
