" Question I&amp;amp;#8217;ve had ankylosing spondylitis for five years now. I am going to get married next month and am a bit nervous about my sex life with my wife.  Some questions keep coming up before me. Will I be able to perform penetrative sex in the missionary position as I can&amp;#039;t bend forward much?  Can you suggest something that can help me out?   Answer Sorry to hear about your ankylosing spondylitis. If it&amp;#039;s any help to you, I had a friend who had the same condition - and he successfully sired four children. He also enjoyed his sex life!  There&amp;#039;s quite a good chance that you will be able to use the &amp;#039;missionary&amp;#039; position, as it doesn&amp;#039;t really involve much bending forward.  But it&amp;#039;s possible you may manage better with you flat on your back and your wife on top.  Anyway, there are literally dozens and dozens of different positions to choose from - many of which should be fine for you.  If in doubt, borrow my light-hearted book &amp;#039;Position of the week&amp;#039; (Hodder) from your local public library.  It contains 52 different positions. Good luck!
