Introduction
We’ve all heard of doggy style right? It’s a classic with good reason. But have you heard of the backshots position?
If you’re ready to find out what it is and how to do it, this article is for you!
What is the Backshots Position?
The backshot position is a sexual position characterized by penetration from behind, offering a unique angle that can enhance intimacy and pleasure.
The receiving partner is on all fours with their ass up in the air to get just the right angle. The penetrating partner is behind them – they can be standing, kneeling, or some other variation.
Who Can Try Backshots?
It can work for couples of any gender and anatomy. Any consenting adults can give it a go!
Is Backshots Accessible?
It can be a bit tricky for the receiving partner if they’re disabled because they have to support their weight on their hands and knees. Some disabled people will be able to manage this with adaptations and props.
What’s the Difference Between the Backshots Position and the Doggy Style Position?
Many people use the terms ‘backshots’ and ‘doggy style’ interchangeably to mean the same thing. Basically, the backshots sex position is a type of doggy style.
Some people say ‘backshots’ means the penetrating partner stands. However, most people think that when a person with a penis is the one doing the penetrating, it means that when they’re ready to climax they ejaculate on the receiving partner’s back, that’s a backshot. Apparently a good one will hit your partner hair, a great one will hit the far wall.
Why Do People Like the Backshot Sex Position?
One of the standout benefits of the backshots position is the potential for deep penetration, which can significantly enhance pleasure for both partners. It’s great for both anal and vaginal sex. Plus, it can be amazing for G-spot or prostate orgasm.
It’s also fantastic for hard, fast sex. If you like a bit of spanking like me, then it’s an amazing position to enjoy some impact play during sex.
How to Perform the Backshots Position
The receiving partner gets on their hands and knees and the penetrating partner stands or kneels behind them to enter them. The penetrating partner can hold onto their lover’s hips for stability. The receiving partner can move back and forth, enhancing the penetration.
You can adjust your positioning and the angle until you figure out what feels best for you.
Similar Positions to Try
If you love the backshot sex position, there are other similar sex positions you might want to try:
Prone Bone
The prone bone sex position is very similar to doggy-style sex except the receiving partner lies down on their front. The penetrating partner straddles their lover’s legs to enter them from behind. It’s incredible for G-spot stimulation. I love this variation because it’s more accessible for the receiving partner if they’re disabled.
The Turtle
The turtle sex position requires the receiving partner to get on all fours and then curl up into a sort of ball shape, with their hands wrapped around behind their legs. It provides a feeling of intense penetration but is a harder position to hold.
Flat Iron
The flat iron position is extremely similar to the prone bone – some people feel they are the same position. People call it the flat iron because of the flat, straight position the receiving partner lies in.
Tips to Enhance Your Experience
I’ve included some of my top tips below to help you get the most out of the backshots sex position:
Communication and consent: Open communication and consent are essential to make sure you both feel comfortable and respected
Focus on foreplay: Foreplay can significantly enhance the overall experience, building anticipation and arousal.
Comfort: Using cushions or pillows to support both partners can help achieve more comfortable angles and reduce strain on the knees and hips. If you struggle with mobility, don’t be afraid to use props and adaptations to make the position comfortable for you. The penetrating partner can also lean on the sofa or bed for added stability.
Experiment: Try different techniques, speeds, and angles to see what feels best for you and your partner.
Try some toys: Sex toys can introduce new sensations and excitement. Consider using items like vibrators, cock rings, or anal beads to intensify the experience.
Use protection: Correct usage of condoms can greatly minimize the chances of STI transmission and accidental pregnancies. After all, you want a safe and fun experience.
Use lube: Lubricants can help to make everything run so much more smoothly. If you’re having anal sex, lube is vital because the anus doesn’t self-lubricate.
Have fun: Don’t overthink it – the aim of the game is to have a good time!
Final Thoughts
The backshots position can lead to ultimate satisfaction by providing deeper penetration, enhanced intimacy, and varied sensations. Why not give it a try and see what you think?
