When it comes to sexual positions, it can be overwhelming to see complex and acrobatic poses. However, it’s important to note that most couples tend to prioritize just a few positions that bring them pleasure. One position that doesn’t receive enough attention is the coital alignment technique, which I want to highlight today.
What is the coital alignment technique?

The coital alignment technique, or CAT, is a simple and effective way for heterosexual couples to experience simultaneous pleasure and intimacy.
The position involves the female partner lying on her back while the male partner inserts himself. He moves his body up slightly to align their pubic bones, and instead of thrusting in and out, they rhythmically grind against each other.
There are several reasons why the coital alignment technique is pleasurable:
- Enhanced Clitoral Stimulation
- Male Ejaculatory Control
- Narrows the Orgasm Gap
- Mutual Pleasure
- Intimacy and Connection
- Extended Intercourse
- Accessibility and Comfort
The coital alignment technique enhances pleasure and fosters emotional intimacy without requiring complex acrobatics. It prioritizes mutual pleasure and allows couples to build a deeper connection.
