Q: While having sex, which position gives most pleasure to both partners? Is the doggy style postion best as most pornographic films show that women like it that way? I also want to have sex with my girlfried from behind; can it lead to any disease?

A:Any position that you both like is OK and you as a couple will have to work out which is best for you two. Try all positions and do what gives you bothmaximum pleasure. Of course you should vary position to keep variety in your sex life if possible and avoid monotony.Anal sex or vaginal sex with man behind (both could be called doggy style) are both normal and can be pleasurable. You should do it any way you like. Theprecaution for AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections are the same whether you have anal or vaginal intercourse. So either way, though you cannotconceive after an anal intercourse, you can get infections and a condom must be used.
