PRE-"MISSIONARY POSITIONS"
PRE-"MISSIONARY" POSITIONS
The fact that Christians did not invent the so-called "missionary" coital position, may be reasonably inferred from the mere fact of the prior, ancient, presence of millions of earlier people all over the earth.
Our species predates, by a million years, at least, the natural births of either Joseph, Mary, or Jesus, their son, who was presumably the first "Christian," although Christ is never deemed a "Christian" in his lifetime, only afterwards by his believers.

Research shows that the phrase, "missionary position" as it pertains to human sex, first appears in the English dictionary in the mid 1960s.

Not sure that this coital missionary position discussion yields much inspiration, or accords much in the way of insight to my many, married Facebook friends, most of whom are parents or even more than likely grandparents, like me; but, it never hurts to know or to learn anything !
