Magnetic resonance imaging was used to study the anatomy of the male and female genitals during coitus. Three experiments were performed with one couple in two positions and after male ejaculation. The images obtained confirmed that during intercourse in the missionary position, the penis reaches the anterior fornix with preferential contact of the anterior vaginal wall. The posterior bladder wall was pushed for- ward and upward and the uterus was pushed upward and back- ward.
