You stopped getting on top somewhere in the last ten years, and if anybody asked you, you said something about your knees. Your knees were telling the truth. They were answering a question nobody asked properly.
You did not retire a position. You retired one movement: the vertical bounce you learned from movies at nineteen, which loses contact at the top of every repetition and lifts your whole body weight through two kneecaps. Sex runs about 5.6 METs for women, genuine moderate exercise, so being winded is not a fitness failure. And the trial research on rocking instead of thrusting shows a large effect on orgasm functioning.
Inside: where a movement starts and why that changes what you feel, the surgeons who never mention this, and a couple assignment where his only job is to be furniture.
Press play. Rock, do not bounce.
