THE DHENUKA POSITION
Recognising the fact that the missionary positions can end up being boring, sage Vatsyayana laid out a number of exciting options for the adventurous and the bold among us. One such position, called the "the congress of the cow" or the Dhenuka (literally Milch Cow) offers enormous possibilities besides being a great diversion from the routine.
"When a woman stands on her hands and feet like a quadruped, and her lover mounts her like a bull, it is called the `congress of a cow'. At this time everything that is ordinarily done on the bosom should be done on the back."
In this position, the woman goes down on her hands and knees while the man mounts her from behind. In many ways this is now almost a conventional position universally appreciated for the equal amounts of pleasure it offers both partners. According to Vatsyayan, when bending, the woman can also grip some hard object like a bedstead or a table while raising her buttocks as high as possible. The man in turn, gets the opportunity to hold her breasts and pleasure her thus. The woman can make herself more comfortable by using some pillows or cushions to support her elbows.
The best thing about this position is that it offers maximum stimulation through contact to the woman as well. It also leaves the man's hands free to do other things which the woman could enjoy. And while the feminists may see in this position another reiteration of the man's dominant position even in the sex act, the fact is that most men do fantasize about being able to watch when they perform and this position best offers that opportunity
