During sexual intercourse, the woman should not be in prone posture, or lie on her sides. In the former case, vata dosha becomes stronger and inflicts the genital tract and in the latter case, lying on her right side, displaces kapha dosha into the mouth of the uterus and creates obstruction, while if she is on her left side, pitta dosha afflicts the ovum and sperm by its heat.
