Positions to Stay Away From

1.The missionary position is to be ruled out at all costs unless you definitely want to get pregnant fast. In this position, the male lies on top of the female on the bed, securing himself between her legs. This way it gives him access to maximum penetration, and enables the male's penis to get very near to the female's cervix during the ejaculation

2.The doggie style, or rear-entry position, occurs when the male enters the female from the rear. The sperm is then deposited nearest to the cervix which significantly helps in increasing the possibility of conceiving. So, if you do not want to get pregnant, cross this one out.

3. The scissor position is whereby the male and female are opposite sides of each other, and touch each other reproductive organs.

Get your bodies shaped into a ninety-degree angle or an L-shape. The L-shape is basically created by joining your partner’s thighs and your hips.

While the above are tips in lessening your chances of becoming pregnant, it is not foolproof, or Dad-proof. You and/or your partner should regularly use a form of birth control to have safe sexual relations as well as maintaining reproductive responsibility.
