Coordination and Alignment Techniques
(Coital Alignment Technique, abbreviated as CAT, also known as "cat position" or "coital alignment technique") is the traditionalMissionaryThe advanced version focuses not on vigorous thrusting, but on using pelvic friction and pressure resistance to stimulate the dorsal side (or base) of the penis.pubic) Continuous friction on the girlclitorisMeanwhile, the insertion is maintained.

The man is positioned on top of the woman, supporting his entire body weight rather than using any other method, and aligns his pelvis with hers, so that the base of his penis is pressed tightly against her mons pubis upon insertion. He moves upwards along the woman's body, his erect penis pointing downwards, the back of the penis against her clitoris; she wraps her ankles around his calves, "locking" him in the position, and then the two engage in close friction together.
Unlike the missionary position, in this position, the man's body moves downwards relative to the woman during penetration and upwards during thrusting. The woman can also wrap her legs around the man. The intercourse is primarily focused on the pelvis, with the arms and legs not contributing to the movement. This up-and-down motion (woman-dominant) gradually enhances sexual arousal, allowing both partners to allow arousal to develop naturally and reach orgasm.
- Correct movement → Rub vertically up and down (arrows up and down), with the penis axis pressing against the clitoral area to generate continuous pressure and friction.
- Incorrect action → Horizontal thrusting left and right (prohibited symbol). This results in almost no stimulation of the clitoris, relying solely on vaginal thrusting, which reduces the chances of female orgasm.
CAT was invented by psychotherapist Edward Eichel in the 1980s specifically to address the problem of "difficulty in female penetrative orgasm". Studies show that after using CAT, the female orgasm rate during penetrative intercourse can increase by 56%, and orgasms (both partners reaching orgasm) are also more likely to occur.
Why does CAT make it easier for women to orgasm?
- Most women (approximately 70–801 TP3T) cannot achieve orgasm through vaginal penetration alone because the clitoris is the primary source of pleasure (with 8000+ nerve endings).
- Traditional missionaries: Penis insertion and withdrawal mainly stimulate the vaginal wall, with almost no direct contact with the clitoris.
- CAT: Pressing the penis downwards and rubbing it, continuously applying pressure to the dorsal side/base of the penis and rubbing the clitoris (like "grinding corn"), while simultaneously stimulating the G-spot with shallow insertion inside the vagina → Dual stimulationThe chances of reaching orgasm increase significantly.
- Advantages also include: better ejaculation control for men (less thrusting, more grinding), higher intimacy (face-to-face, eye contact), and improved endurance (slower and more stable movements, less likely to ejaculate too quickly).
How to correctly perform CAT
- Starting position(Missionary Basics)
The girl lies on her back with her legs slightly apart or wrapped around the boy's waist (for added stability). The boy is on top, but...Slightly higher than traditionalPosition your chest against the woman's shoulders or higher, with your penis pointing downwards (pressing down towards the woman's pelvis). - Insertion method
Insert the penis, but only shallowly (just a little bit of the glans). The man should move forward so that the base of his penis/pubic bone is close to the woman's clitoral area. The woman can place a pillow under her hips to slightly tilt her pelvis upwards for a better angle. - Key action: rubbing rather than thrusting
- The two people rocked their pelvises in sync:
- The boy presses downwards (the pelvis moves downwards when pressing inwards, pressing the clitoris).
- The girl pushes upwards (rocks her pelvis upwards and then pushes it back down).
- Like the "pressure-counter-pressure" dance move: grinding vertically up and down (not pulling forward and backward or left and right).
- Slow and steady rhythm: small circular motions or up-and-down rocking, continuously rubbing the clitoris. The penis moves in and out of the vagina slightly, but the focus is on external friction.
- It lasts for 5–15 minutes, and it feels like it builds up slowly, unlike a vigorous pump which ends quickly.
Tips to enhance the enjoyment
- Girls wrap their legs around boys' waists or raise them to increase the closeness of their embrace.
- The boy supports himself with his arms or hugs the girl, keeping their bodies close together.
- Add toys: Girls can use their hands or a small vibrator to stimulate the clitoris, doubling the stimulation.
- Reverse CAT (woman on top): The woman sits on top, leans forward and presses against the man's pubic bone, and controls the intensity of the rubbing (many women say this makes it easier for them to orgasm).
Tips:
Use your pelvis to drive your body movement, rather than your arms or legs. Also, try to maintain a steady, even rhythm.
Precautions
- Practice is required: At first, it may feel "strange" or you may not be able to coordinate well. You will get in sync after trying a few more times.
- Sufficient foreplay is essential: the clitoris needs to be engorged and swollen to be sensitive; lick or touch the edge before cutting the clitoris.
- Lubrication is important: too much friction and dryness will make it uncomfortable.
- If a woman's clitoris is too sensitive, apply light pressure first and then increase the pressure.
- Suitable for couples who want "synchronized orgasms" or "females lying down and having an amazing time", especially if you've been talking about Ladies' Choice or hard penetration, CAT is the perfect transition to "gentle but strong" (slow grinding but strong pressure).
Studies have confirmed that after practicing with CAT (clinic) for a few weeks, many women who previously had difficulty reaching orgasm experienced a significant increase in their penetration orgasm rate. Tried missionary sex but still not reaching orgasm? Just switch to CAT, guaranteed to make a huge difference!
