I simply cannot understand how it works without bending the penis 90 degrees.
Please correct me if my understanding of the female anatomy is wrong here, but if you look at the vaginal opening, the clitoris is above this in the 12 o'clock position, approximately 1cm ish, give or take above the top of the vaginal canal.
As the penis thrusts in and out, it goes nowhere near the clitoris, hence most women do not climax from direct thrusting as quite simply, the penis does not rub the clitoris.
If the woman has a clitoris that is positioned quite close to the vaginal opening, or has has inner labia that drag over the bulb of the clitoris by proxy, dragged along by the motion of the penis, then there is a chance of orgasm.
But assuming this i snot the case, for the penis to rub against the clitoris whilst thrusting means you must have to angle the penis so it slides almost perpendicular to the vaginal opening, like walking past your front door rather than walking through it.
To rub across the clit and then enter the vagina at the same time requires the penis to almost bend 90 degrees to then enter the vagina, which unless you have a lazy lob on or a very bent penis, is either not going to happen, or is extremely uncomfortable.
I've tried it several times and there's just no way you can get an acute enough angle to actually touch the clit whilst also thrusting in and out.
Imagine posting a rolled up news paper through your letter box whilst trying to make it rub across the door knocker at the same time.
If I'm completely missing something, please educate me but the mechanics and angles simply do not add up or make sense.
