Since gravity is working against the semen’s ability to reach the cervix in the shortest possible time, many couples believe that it is a great way to avoid pregnancy.

Both man and woman are standing while facing to each other. Usually, the man carries the woman and wraps her arms and legs around his body. Again, the general notion is that the sperm defies gravity, increasing the difficulty to reach the cervix of the woman.
