The Ultimate Guide to Sex Positions: Doggy Style

Now, let's discuss sex positions.

This set of guidelines is for you whether you're dating someone you've been seeing for a while or are trying to get back together with a former romantic interest.

Next up is Doggy Style, which is another timeless bedroom move.

Doggy Style: This is a sexual position in which a person lies on their front, bends over, or crouches on hands and knees while being stimulated by their partner from behind.

Wikipedia contains some rather bizarre statements regarding this position, reinforcing the misconceptions that the so-called submissive receiving partner is passive during penetration and that cis males love it. Since this may be a very mutually enjoyable position for persons of either gender, where everyone can get engaged with enthusiasm, it is evident that the writers haven't been having sex with the proper people.

Doggy style has been one of the most popular sex positions for a long time, despite the narrow-minded statements that are being made. Coitus more ferarum, or "sexual intercourse in the manner of wild beasts," was the term used by the ancient Romans to describe their love for dogs. The Kama Sutra, on the other hand, is called the Cow Position. But don't let your stereotypes about cows get in the way of this; according to Vedic tradition, the cow is a manifestation of Aditi, the mother of the gods. Being in that situation is rather powerful.

We have also added standing, squatting, and spooning, other common rear-entry positions. Although Reverse Cowgirl technically qualifies as a rear-entry maneuver, we examined that more closely when discussing Rider postures.

A note on terms:

We refer to the person with the penis (biological or synthetic) as the "thrusting partner" when we talk about penetration and the person who accepts the act of penetration (vaginal or anal) as the "receiving partner."

It is crucial to remember that receiving is not a submissive, passive role. It's a passionate, engaged role. The receiver is expressing their power of choice by deciding to invite their lover inside of them.

The thrusting partner is also more than just a giver. Naturally, they enjoy themselves while performing the deed as well. However, we have chosen these labels for the two sides of the dynamic for uniformity and clarity.

How to do it:

The receiving partner lies on their front, crouches on hands and knees, or bends over a supporting surface with both partners facing the same way. After that, their spouse comes up behind them to pique or arouse everyone's passions.

As usual, this role requires teamwork but dramatically increases the receiving partner's capacity for enjoyment. Vibrators, oral play, hand things, penetration, double penetration, etc., can stimulate them. Many enjoyable choices exist here because of the thrusting partner's access and visibility.

Reasons we love it:

- Greater penetration

All of the erogenous zones between the receiver's legs are easily accessible.

Excellent for those who are new to strap-on or anal play.

A breathtaking perspective of the receiving partner's rear

Excellent for stimulating the mouth (particularly for cunnilingus or anal rimming).

During penetration, Thurster's hands are free to explore, cling to their partner's hips, or reach around for additional stimulation.

A fun method to change up the angles for hand gestures, such as fisting and fingering

If the recipient wants to, they can push back and assist in dictating the tempo.

Ideal for recipients who enjoy being spanked

For individuals who want a bit more oomph, you can really up the intensity here: hair pulling, light choking, adding a toy, harder thrusting, and recipient pushback. But before you try any harsher play on your spouse, ask!

This is an excellent choice if you don't have a bed or are unable to lie down and need each other. Heckin. Right now.

Variations to try out

Classic Doggy

The receiver goes down on all fours with both partners facing the same way. Their companion comes up behind them and enters.

The thrusting partner can provide clit stimulation by hand or with a well-placed vibe when their hands are free.

Kneeling

If the receiver's hands and wrists are strained from being on all fours, lean up and back until you kneel comfortably.

By squeezing the receiver's back against the thruster's front and grinding into each other, you can compensate for any range of motion loss with increased closeness.

Standing

Both partners are on their feet. The thruster comes up behind the receiver, hunched over a solid surface (such as a desk, bed, countertop, or sturdy table).

We adore this one since everyone's hands are free to do as they like, and the receiver is not required to support their weight.

Arm Rest

The arm of a couch or armchair supports the receiver. Depending on the amount of room on your furniture, their partner comes up behind you, either standing or kneeling.

Like standing, the advantages here are that no one supports their weight, allowing them to enjoy the posture fully.

Wheelbarrow

The thruster approaches from behind in a squat and seizes their partner's hips while the receiver is on all fours. The thruster rises to a stand and raises the receiver's lower body off the ground, pulling a wheelbarrow while the receiver's hands remain firmly planted.

The softness of a mattress will force the recipient to overextend their wrists, so this one works best on a firm surface like the floor. It is excellent for individuals who enjoy a challenge or who enjoy having their romps double as a workout.

Laying Flat 

While the thruster mounts them from behind, lining up their front and back, the receiver rests flat on their front. To change feeling, spread or squeeze the receiver's legs together.

This position requires the thruster to support their own body weight and set the speed, similar to the Missionary Position. It is highly suggested for receivers who feel comfortable in compression or their partner's weight on top of them.

Spooning

With the little spoon tucked back into the big spoon's embrace, both couples lie parallel on their sides and rock at their chosen pace.

It's a low-impact alternative that works well for that lazy type of lovemaking before bed or in the morning when you're already snuggled under the covers and want to get a bit closer.

Other tips and tricks: 

To maximize clit or perineum stimulation during penetration, have the thrusting partner slide on a vibrating cock ring with the vibrator pointed downward.

Place yourself close to a mirror to see how attractive you appear.

To improve sensation and eliminate visual distraction, turn it up a level by placing a blindfold on the receiver. Remember to play responsibly and establish safe words in advance!

Penetration doesn't need to occur. Tribbing (genital-to-genital play without penetration) or grinding while wearing clothing are excellent ways to elicit novel feelings.

Try reducing the speed! In this position, moving quickly and forcefully is simple, but what happens if your stroke becomes seductive and slow? See how the vibe changes as you genuinely get to know each other.

About vibrations... Vibrators can be used in this position in a variety of ways, particularly for recipients who have clits. It just comes down to determining who can hold it the best in each stance variation. Either partner can control the vibe.

Go ahead and play! You don't have to use the same procedure every time because it previously worked. We invite you to investigate. You never know what you could learn when you let yourself and your partner play without expectations.
