The Doggy Style Position
It’s no mystery why doggy-style is such a popular sex position, making it a favorite variation of the backshots. After all, it’s passionate, intense, deep…heck, it’s even perfect for G-spot stimulation. And if you’re into BDSM (light or otherwise), doggy style is fun because it makes the partner on all fours nice and submissive while the dominant partner on top controls the speed and depth.
This position is popular regardless of orientation, too. That’s because doggy style hits the G-spot for women and stimulates the prostate for men, which is a surefire way to drive everyone wild.
Interestingly, doggy style even appeals to partners of completely differing personalities. Shy people love it because they don’t have to look their partners in the eye. And more uninhibited people love it because the animalistic nature of the position (in the immortal words of the Bloodhound Gang, you’re doing like they do on the Discovery Channel) brings out their wild side.
For more advanced kinksters, doggy style lets you explore dominance and submission with every thrust, offering the person on top complete control of the penetration and speed. It’s also one of the best car positions, given the practicality of the position in tight spaces somewhere outside the bedroom.
If this aspect excites you, forget: nothing enhances doggy style like a leash and collar!
What’s In It For Her
Guys love doggy style in large part because it gives them complete control and a killer view. But what’s in it for her? Basically, this position stimulates the sensitive front wall of the vagina more than, say, missionary sex ever could. That makes every stroke feel more amazing than the last.
If the woman wants harder penetration, she can push back against her partner with each thrust. Try doing this with the bedroom wall…not only does it make pushing back easier, but this will make the guy feel so dominant he’s likely to lose his mind. As an added bonus, you can push back with one hand and using the other to stimulate the clitoris, making explosive orgasms easy to achieve.
Additionally, there are a surprising number of options when it comes to positioning for all-fours sex. She can always arch her back up or down or move her body more to achieve deeper thrusts and better G-spot stimulation.
What’s In It For Him?
We’ve already covered much of what guys love about doggy style. Remember, men are visual creatures, and this position offers an amazing view of your ass. Even if he’s not an ass man, the view is likely to drive him wild!
Believe it or not, though, your butt isn’t the only thing he loves about this view. He also gets to watch his penis in action, which is something he can’t do with most other positions. Whether or not he’s really into porn, trust us when we say he loves this because it’s like having his own private movie to watch while railing you.
If you really want to take the visual stimulation of doggy style to the next level, invest in a mirror so you can watch yourselves having sex. This takes the private movie notion to the next level while throwing in some BDSM-friendly visual stimulation. After all, what’s not to love when he gets the chance to see someone on her knees submitting to his thrusting cock? This position also lends itself to other visually stimulating forms of dominance ranging from spanking to hair pulling (with her consent, of course).
Beyond all this visual stimulation, doggy style also allows him to play with thrust speed and power. Even if he’s not usually that dominant (in or out of the bedroom), he’ll love taking control like this. And when he’s hitting the back walls in all the best ways, we’re confident that you will, too!
Doggy Style Sex Position Tips
Pretty much all couples experiment with doggy style…in fact, it’s arguably the most natural position in the world. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do anything new to spice it up. Below are some of our favorite tips to make the doggy style position feel even hotter than ever before.
Push Back: We touched on this earlier, but the person getting railed should try pushing back with each thrust. This allows her to play with speed and control and discover what feels more pleasurable. Plus, if she’s not naturally submissive, this allows her to take a bit of control back during the act.
Pillow Trick: Placing a pillow under the hips not only makes the woman more comfortable but also allows for deeper, more satisfying penetration. Whether you’re doing vaginal or anal sex, a little extra comfort goes a long way.
Hands Tied: If you’re into BDSM, consider tying the woman’s hands behind her back to make her even more submissive. Remember, though, a safe word is always required for consensual kinky play!
Head Control: Speaking of BDSM, if she enjoys submission, try gently pushing her head down or even grabbing her hair while you thrust.
Avoid Tired Arms: Doggy style doesn’t have to be exhausting. If her arms get tired, try doing it next to a bed or sofa. This lets her rest her upper body and takes the weight off her hands.
Adjust Angles: Instead of leaning on her hands, the woman can try leaning on her forearms to provide a different angle of penetration. Remembers, everything from putting a cushion under her to her arching her back differently can help you hit different pleasure spots. This technique is great for everyone, but it’s particularly effective for lovers who have a height difference.
Standing Doggy: Why not take things off the bed altogether, at least for the guy? Standing doggy lets him thrust into someone who is bent over the bed or other furniture. This gives him full control for even deeper thrusts, especially if she lifts a leg up while he is thrusting.
Clit Tease: Doggy style is great for helping guys hit the G-spot, but this isn’t the only way to pleasure her during your all-fours frolicking. Take the time to tease her clit with either your finger or a toy. And if she’s into it, this is the perfect position for sliding a well-lubricated finger into her ass!
Use Toys: Toys make every position better, and doggy style sex is no exception. Introducing a sex toy-like vibrator on the clit or having the guy wear a vibrating cock ring can make the experience even more intense for both.
Add a Mirror: The recommendation so nice we made it twice! Seriously, though…once you start looking at each other during the act, your sex life will never be the same.
Personalize Your Doggy Style Position For Maximum Pleasure
These doggy position variations add excitement and freshness to doggy, making each fuck feel new and thrilling. Never forget that there are endless ways to spice things up with this position. Trying different depths, angles, and moves, allows partners to personalize their sex and increase their pleasure, leading to even more erotic and passionate sex.
For example, you can try a position like the turtle.
It sadly doesn’t have anything to do with the Ninja Turtles (well…unless one of you wears a mask), but there is something incredibly hot and submissive when the receiver’s arms are wrapped around the other’s legs so they can barely move. But there’s still enough flexibility (Splinter taught her well!) for her to adjust the position of her hips to find what feels best. Turtle is also a great anal sex position.
So, get wild, play with doggy style, and make it your own. It might not be the most intimate of sex positions (what with the lack of eye contact) but it’s hot as fuck if you love control and deep penetration.
Other Non-Face-to-Face Sex Positions
If you’re feeling shy or just want a different vibe, these non-face-to-face positions are perfect for mixing intensity with fun.
When you need a break from doggy style, don’t worry. Below, we have some of our favorite other positions along with guides to making the most of them!
Prone Bone
One partner lies flat on their stomach while the other enters from behind, perfect for deep penetration and keeping things slow and steady.
Reverse Cowgirl
A fun twist on the classic cowgirl/cowboy! One partner sits on top, facing away, while the other lies down. It’s great for giving both of you new sensations and lots of control for the partner on top, same goes of course for the Cowgirl.
Spooning
This comfortable position has both of you lying on your sides, with one partner entering from behind. It’s perfect for those lazy, intimate moments when you want to stay close and connected but still have hot erotic sex.
Wheelbarrow
In this position, one partner supports themselves with their hands while the other lifts their legs from behind. It’s a bit of a workout, but it’s worth it for the fun and excitement!
69
Both partners give and receive oral pleasure at the same time. It’s the ultimate in mutual satisfaction, letting you both stay fully involved.
CAT or Coital Alignment Technique
A variation of missionary that focuses on clitoral stimulation. It’s a slow, intimate movement, giving more attention to pleasure.
Final Thoughts
Doggy style is just as versatile as it is popular. This sexy position offers deep penetration and a great view (even though you could say–ahem–that it looks like ass). Try changing up the speed, angle, and depth of penetration to see what feels best for both of you.
Keep talking and watching each other during sex. Obviously, visual stimulation and maybe some really dirty talk will keep both of you very turned on. But open communication also lets the two of you swap ideas about how to take your kinky sex to the next level.
Reading each other’s signals makes the experience hotter and more satisfying.
Remember, everyone has different preferences. While some people love feeling submissive when getting pounded from behind, others might worry they have given up too much control or even surrendered some of the intimacy of lovemaking. By communicating clearly and using safewords, you can make everything (including some fairly kinky roleplay games) more pleasurable.
