Alternates to pancake position

[YesYABU]

Are there any alternative (but similar) positions to the pancake? This is essentially lying on your back with your legs extended right up round your ears, partner on top.

It's not awfully comfortable and doesn't really do anything for me, but is requested every time. Have asked why and apparently it offers less resistance and makes him climax very quickly.

I'm all for doing things that he will enjoy, but he rarely makes me climax (despite trying) and I find being squashed whilst he thrusts away vigorously a bit of a turn off. Are there other positions which give the same sensation for him which don't require such a gymnastic performance from me?

Foreplay?

Resistance aka friction is surely good?
What position is he in? If he is on his haunches then I guess it is purely visual?

Do you rarely climax because you rarely climax or because of how you have sex? If its the latter you need to talk. That way he does what is needed to get you off and then you do the same

This is why I'm a bit confused- I'd have thought tightness would be better and yes he's on his haunches. I'll continue to ask further questions to try and work out what it is he likes about it.

I initiate other positions but he soon moves round to this every time or asks for it. I've not had a problem previously with other partners in getting what I want but this is a lot harder work.

Let me get this right. He doesn't care if you're uncomfortable. He doesn't care if you climax. The quicker he climaxes the better. Is that a fair summary?
It's not a new position you need, it's a new partner.

He sounds rather selfish, it should be fun for both people.

I've yet to find a partner who does find that comfortable.... He sounds selfish imo

That's not pancake! Pancake would be you lying completely flat. What you're describing is Deckchair! (As in, folded up like a...)

I'd bin him off TBH. Doesn't sound like you're on the same page sexually.
