Another word for man-on-top (sexual) position, so-named in 19 ^th century by Christian missionaries who believed that the man on top was the only natural and proper position for intercourse. In this position, the most widely known in the Western World, the man controls the action while woman's movements are restricted, but his hands and arms are busy supporting his weight while hers are free. In the porno movie industry it is known as mish.
