From then on, the story of the name's origin may have been retold until it became largely accepted, with its connection to Kinsey and Malinowski having faded. Writers began using the expression for sexual intercourse in the late 1960s, and as Alex Comfort's bestseller "The Joy of Sex" (1972) and the "Oxford English Dictionary" (1976) spread the term "missionary position", it gradually replaced older names. By the 1990s, it had spread to other languages: "Missionarsstellung" (German), "postura del misionero" (Spanish), "missionarishouding" (Dutch) and "position du missionaire" (French).
