Figuring out when you are ovulating (and optimizing)

The egg lives for a few days after it gets released (so does the sperm)

\\u201cI want you to not take any of the enjoyment out of it either.\\u201d

What orgasms help with (why they matter!)

Things to do after sex to increase your chances: \\u201cHelp the sperm get to where they need to go.\\u201d

Do positions matter? Would it matter if the woman was on top?
