An option is a contract giving the purchaser the right, though not the obligation, to buy or sell a security at a specified price for a particular period of time. Options trading—conducted formally for stocks on U.S. exchanges since 1973—has given rise to a number of distinctively named investing strategies.

These strategies, confusingly enough, sound a lot like strategies used in a completely different context: The names of sex positions that the women’s magazine *Cosmopolitan* suggests for its readers, in forums such as its [Cosmopolitan.com](http://cosmopolitan.com) website and its how-to guide [The Cosmo Kama Sutra: 99 Mind-Blowing Sex Positions](http://www.amazon.com/The-Cosmo-Kama-Sutra-Mind-Blowing/dp/1588169715).

So let’s conduct a test of your financial—and erotic—expertise. Which of these are options investing strategies? Which are Cosmo sex positions?
