Losing an erection while lying on your back is not just a blood flow issue.

It’s common to sometimes lose an erection when your partner is on top (like in cowgirl or man missionary). When your erection softens in these positions, it’s only because you’re experiencing different sexual stimuli that may not be your strongest turn-on.

You can get curious and discover things you can do to enjoy pleasure in these sex positions.

What you can try when your partner is on top:

• Connect to what turns you on visually with mirrors or by changing up the position and asking your partner to straddle you backward.

• Mix in 69 before your partner gets on top of you. It’s the same position just different sexual stimulus!

• Enhance stimulation with Kegels for men by pumping your penis up and down.
