Memory foam intimacy?

Anyone have any advice for missionary on a memory foam?  We just bought a new mattress and noticed a significant difference.  We're enjoying our sleep too much to switch mattresses - any advice on other positions as well? 

Re: Memory foam intimacy?

  • What is the issue you're having? I think as you get used to your new mattress you will figure out how to make it work.
    As far as other positions, the only limitations are your imagination and any physical limitations either of you may have. As much as I hate to suggest anything from Cosmo, their Cosmo Kama Sutra is a good resource for new positions.

  • I agree with Mrs.Rad888 - we need to know more about what the problem is. And yes, that might mean you need to get to some specific anatomical details for us to be of any help. Are you 'bottoming-out' (i.e. squishing the foam all the way to the hard box-spring)?  Is the foam too bouny and it's throwing off your rhythm? 
  • We just bought a memory foam too, but haven't "christened" it yet. My husband mentioned the missionary position issue - I hadn't heard that it was an issue. I'd be interested in what the problem actually is. Plus, there are lots of other fun positions.
  • I don't find it to be an issue. It's just less bouncy than a regular mattress.  What problem are you having?

  • No resistance from the person on bottom, which limits penetration depth and causes the person on bottom to spend LOTS of energy trying to provide resistance.  I've been reading a lot of articles that say other couples have the same problems.   We've already done the "try lots of positions to see what works best" thing and now prefer keeping things "short and sweet" - so changing around to try a lot of positions and wasting our very-needed energy is not preferred.  
  • We also have a memory foam mattress and hate it for sex. But, we bought a liberator (google it!), and it's made a HUGE difference. It will give you a lot more support and put you at the perfect angle! I highly recommend buying one.
  • FI and I have a memory foam mattress and we have never had any issues with it (We love it!!). It is less bouncy so it takes more effort, but after time I'm sure you both will work up to it. I know when we go to hotels its a nice change to have the bed do some of the work.
  • Why do you have to have sex on your bed? Just do it somewhere else: sofa, floor, bathroom counter, another bed in the house...
