The Best Position

It is so easy to rouse feelings of disagreement. Just contradict somebody’s statement and presto, you are into an argument. We all run into arguments with everybody we meet that can be from the household, from the work area, from our circle of friends, or from our acquaintances. These could not be avoided.

But at times arguments become expressions of anger. When this happens, the objective of resolving an issue is defeated. We all give reasons to what we believe in to support it but arguments often lead to dispute or serious disagreement.

What could be the best position in an argument? Of course, that you win an argument. I learned that in order to obtain the best position in an argument, one should learn WHO SAYS WHAT TO WHOM. When one decides to win an argument, he should take into consideration the source, the message, and the audience in order to persuade the person he argues with. This is equivalent to saying that you argue as a wife to your husband regarding some domestic concerns and not about work aspects. Or you argue with your help about simple instructions undone in a system of communication she can understand. (You would not definitely talk to her in English when she cannot understand a word from it.)

Also, pressing concerns and state of emotions affect what someone has to say. There is a quote that says, "… Be careful when you’re tired and angry. You might say something you will soon regret." So, if one feels he or she is not emotionally prepared, he should not run into an argument.

And when an opponent, or simply, a person you argue with, goes wayward and is just concerned with showing the whole word that you are no match, stop the argument. Or when you feel that the person is merely interested to verbalize his or her personal sentiments against you, and not about the issue, end the argument. Do not speak a word anymore. As US writer Dale Carnegie expressed, "There is only one way under high heaven to get the best of an argument – and that is to avoid it."

How important is sexual posture in lovemaking? Is there such a thing as the best position? Experts say that it is best to consider the position to enhance enjoyment in lovemaking. But is there really such a thing as the best position?

Personally, I believe that whatever sexual posture a couple prefers, what is important are they learn the techniques as their relationship matures, and that they are both happy and satisfied with their preferences. It is also important to note that both of them agree with the technique they will be indulging in. Repression of feelings should be avoided. Each of the couple should feel free to express what each other want.

I don’t know with the others but maybe, just maybe, the Kama Sutra could help if a couple finds difficulty to find a technique that best suits them.

  1. I do agree that to get the best of an argument, avoid it. But sometimes, get your message across if you deem it right.

  3. tama si sis evi dapat iwasan ang isang argument.para sa'kin to avoid it kailangan may isa sa kanila ang magpapakumbabamor "respekt" sa bawat opinyon.

    napanood ko na yang kamasutra pero para sa'kin di ko tayp..as in di ko tayp..di ko din nagustuhan yung movie na yun...haaaaaaaay ewan.

    ako ay pabor sa sinabi mo na "It is also important to note that both of them agree with the technique they will be indulging in. Repression of feelings should be avoided. Each of the couple should feel free to express what each other want".

  6. hi lws!

    pwede namang magkaroon ng diskusyon talaga. kaya lang humahaba minsan dahil me mga taong hindi matanggap na mali ang opinyon nila. it's all about how gracefully one accepts defeat.

    LOL i've read lang about Kamasutra. hindi ko pa siya napapanood. naughty girl ka ha.

    ty for the visit!

  7. It's so hard to win in an argument when it only involves two parties. There should always be a mediator because it's very seldom to see someone giving in accepting defeat. I never won an argument with my wife and all I do is stay out of the argument as quick as possible. HAHAHAHA

  10. hi, Patrice! ha ha ha PG ba? kaya naglagay na ako ng warning sign, e! kaso yang mga signs na 'yan will not be skipped, i bet! ha ha

    minsan din kaya tayo nakikipag-argumento, as evi said, to get your message across. kaya lang meron din namang mga taong may insulation at di tinatablan ng katotohanan.

  11. Bing, por dios por santo! Ano ba itong nasa entry mo?! haha, pa-demure lang. Ganyan ang reaction ko kung estudyante ko ang gumawa ng entry. Green talaga ang pag-iisip ko, kasi na-bore ako sa una, sa pangalawa talagang glued and focused ako sa pagbabasa. Shhh, walang makaklabas ha, dito lang ito sa blog mo :D

    Baliktad tayo Tito Rolly, I never win an argument with my hsband, haha. Ganyan siguro ang mga guro, tumatahimik nalang para walang gulo. But I let him know that my silence doesn't mean defeat, hehe.

  12. aray ko! boring ba?? eneweiz, you are entitled to your own opinion as i am mine though i don't verbalize it. i am more of a cautious person not to offend anybody. i try to consider the constructive words i could muster in order to encourage, not to discourage.

    sabagay, the sex topic is always interesting to everybody he he

  13. My husband and I don't argue much at all, but when we find ourselves in the middle of one, I always ask myself if it's an argument worth winning, of if I just want to be right. It's amazing how fast the fight stops after that.

    RE: Kama Sutra. Many years ago, I read a book about "The History of Sex." Wow, those ancients knew quite a bit about the topic -- a lot more than today's "modern" how-to books discuss!

  14. hi, gigi! like you, me and Papsie does not argue much, too. perhaps because he thinks he'll never win. he he kidding aside, we have this tendency to keep our mouth shut when one is strung out. the opinions or suggestions come later when pacified.

    oh, the how-to-do sex manuals of today are very commercialized.
