Are there sexual positions that can increase chances for conception?
In other words, should you stand on your head and face East for half an hour after intercourse? The answer is no. But there are a number of things that you can do to increase your chances of conception. For the average woman, you would certainly want to avoid straddling over your partner, since this could cause his sperm to leak out of you (as it’s prone to do anyway at the most inopportune times, like when you are standing in line at the grocery store wearing a cute little skirt and no stockings). But I digress. Any position in which his sperm is not likely to leak out would be best.
