If your pain gets worse when you touch your toes or sit for long periods, try making love in a neutral spine position, supporting yourself on yourhands and knees (not your elbows).

If arching your back or lying on your stomach hurts, try missionary with a pillow under your back so your spine is in as neutral a position as possible.

A general note for all back-pain sufferers (men included): When you're controlling the motion, use your knees and hips (rather than your spine) to minimize potential discomfort.
