What is Doggy Style?
If you’ve been living under a rock by chance, you might have missed out on this rock star sex position.
For the most part, we all know of it, and many of us love it! It’s the sex position where the penetrating partner enters the receiving partner from behind.
The penetrating partner, typically a man, kneels behind his partner, who can be either standing or on all fours.
Doggy style sex is common in “vanilla” sexual activities as well as bondage and BDSM play, as it provides exceptional access to the body and can provide a visual stimulus for the giving partner.
Why Is It a Popular Sex Position?
Doggy style has been around for centuries! You can find paintings of it from Ancient Greece and beyond.
This popular sex position allows for greater penetration and depth, stimulation of different areas of the vagina, perhaps leading to orgasm, and submission and dominance.
Paired with the ability to add sex toys, change angles with props, varying intensity, and the fact that doggy style is just plain hot… it’s no wonder it’s in the top ten greatest sex positions.
The sex position has been tried and tested by many, but some are not a fan. Despite its popularity, doggy style has some drawbacks. For instance, there is limited or zero eye contact between partners, leading some to believe this position is too primal and unromantic for their taste.
In some, the balls (scrotum) may rub against the clitoris while thrusting, leading to orgasms for the female partner. However, this isn’t the case in others, and there’s very limited stimulation of this pleasure center — a big problem. According to multiple studies, women climax more often from clitoral stimulation than vaginal.
Summarized for you, here are the top pros and cons of this particular sex position.
Pros:
- It may stimulate the G Spot, A Spot, and/or C Spot
- Deep penetration
- Various angles of penetration
- The balls may stimulate the clitoris
- Great posterior (backside) views
Cons:
- Limited eye contact
- Primal and unromantic for some
- It may be hard on the knees or back, depending on the person
- Not ideal for receiving partners that are uninterested in submissive positions
- Limited view of the anterior (front of the body)
Ultimately, whether doggy style is for you is up to you and your partner.
Six Tips to Make Doggy Style Hotter Than Ever!
For some, doggy style is the hottest position there is. But if you’re looking to make doggy style even hotter, some tips can help take your experience to the next level.
Get Kinky
There are plenty of ways to get kinkier in doggy style. Add sex toys and restraints like handcuffs or a blindfold to the mix for an extra naughty experience.
While your partner is at your mercy in a submissive position, spank, bite, pull hair or arms back, and whatever else she’s comfortable with for extra passion.
When pulling hair, grab from the root, never the ends. Have your partner tie her loose hair up into a ponytail before sex, and use a gentle but firm grip.
Don’t forget to add a little sweetness and lean in to kiss your partner’s shoulders and neck.
Be Energetic
Avoid simply thrusting in and out; put your entire body and energy into it for better sex.
For instance, lean back and hold on to your partner’s waist or hips. Lean forward and push your body firmly against hers for more friction. Or, have your partner arch her back.
Change things up by having your partner move their hips in circles or side-to-side motions. Also, vary your speed from slow and sensual to fast and hard.
Next time you’re behind her, why not try anal penetration instead of vaginal penetration for a completely different experience?
Use a Sex Wedge
Adding props to your doggy style session can make it even hotter. Try using a pillow, cushion, or sex wedge to prop up the hips for deeper penetration.
Using one changes the angle of penetration, making each thrust more pleasurable, comfortable, and orgasm-inducing for both partners.
Plus, it can help you hit different spots inside the anus or vagina that you normally wouldn’t in doggy style.
Another prop that will make doggy style sex all the better and more intimate is using a mirror to get a good view of each other while making love. Place a mirror in front of the bed, so you can look at your partner’s facial expressions and get ten times more turned on.
Use a Strap
Using a yoga or sex strap in doggy style position is a game-changer!
A sex strap is great for maintaining a steady rhythm and keeping your partner in place while you thrust. Plus, it adds an extra element of kink to the mix. Wrap the strap around your partner’s waist and hold on for a wild ride.
Whisper In Her Ear
Try whispering naughty things in your partner’s ear or telling them how good it feels, how hot you think this is, and what you want to do to her next!
Get creative with your words! Add a growl, moan, or other sexual sound effects while thrusting to get more out of sex.
Get Handsy
Reach down or around and caress your partner’s erogenous zones, such as her nipples, clitoris, or anus.
Trace your fingers down her spine for a toe-curling feeling. Or, use your hands to push her hips closer for a tighter fit.
Six Sex Position Alternatives to Doggy Style
Classic doggy style is great, but if you’re looking for something different, there are plenty of other sex positions that can be just as hot.
Try these alternatives to doggy style.
Standing Doggy Style
This position is great for those who want to add a bit of adventure to their sex life, as it can be done almost anywhere.
We recommend trying this one out in the shower while the female partner pushes her hands against the shower wall for support.
To get into position, the male partner should stand behind the female partner and penetrate her from behind. The female partner can lean forward onto a bed or chair for support while the male partner holds her hips for leverage.
The Surfboard
The surfboard is a sex position where the male partner lies on top of the female, and both press their hands against the floor. This unique take on doggy style position has elements that make it more of a “lazy” sex position, such as being able to lay down during sex, and elements that make it exciting such as having bodies pressed close together.
The sex position might not be suitable for couples with a dramatic size difference because the male will put most of his body weight onto his partner.
Partnerships, where the male is much larger can still try this position. Just check in frequently with the bottom partner and try to use your hands to support more of your weight.
To get into this position, the female partner should lie flat on her stomach near the end of the bed. She must slide down so that her palms press against the floor. When she’s in place, her partner should lie on top of her and press his palms next to hers on the floor. Together, both should grind, thrust, and move in sync.
The Turtle
The Turtle sex position is similar to doggy style, with one major difference. The female partner must lift her behind high into the air, grab her legs, and hold them throughout sex.
It is just different enough to be stimulating but not too complicated.
To get into position, start off in doggy style. The female partner should back up close to her man, lifting her ass as high into the air as physically possible. Depending on flexibility, she must reach down, grab her calves or ankles, and hold on for dear life.
Binding Wheelbarrow
The Binding Wheelbarrow sex position rounds off our list of more exciting doggy style variations before we briefly mention some tested classics.
The Binding Wheelbarrow is a unique take on doggy style where the male partner sits on his knees while his partner spreads her legs and dips into his lap, as demonstrated in the photo.
Rather than the male partner controlling the pace, the female can grind or bounce on his penis and come in as close as she desires during intercourse. Or, the male can take over and thrust into her while she remains mostly still.
The position might be uncomfortable on the knees, so don’t be afraid to switch it up if the strain becomes too much to bear.
To get into position, the male partner should kneel on the bed. The other partner should then slowly back into him, spread her legs, and lower herself into his lap. He can then grab onto her hips for leverage and thrust away.
Reverse Cowgirl
Finally, to end our list, we have classic sex positions such as reverse cowgirl and spooning.
It’s similar to classic doggy style in that the receiving partner faces away from the giving one. In this position, the giver, typically a man, lies flat on his back or sits upright in a chair or sofa, while the receiving partner, typically a female, sits on top and “rides” her man.
Reverse cowgirl is a popular variation of doggy style favored by many women for numerous reasons. It allows the woman to take control of the pace and depth of penetration while also providing a unique angle for G-spot stimulation.
It’s also well-liked by men who want a passive role during sex or enjoy having their partners use their bodies for pleasure.
To get into position, the female partner should straddle the male partner and then lean back, using her hands to support herself while bouncing, grinding, or moving side to side on her partner’s body.
Spooning
Spooning is a great alternative to doggy style for couples who want something more sensual and romantic, as the two will be in a much closer embrace.
It’s also a good “lazy” sex position, as both relax on their sides and have to do minimal movement to have a good time. Spooning is one of the best positions for morning sex.
To get into position, the male partner should lie on his side, and the female partner should curl up in front of him with her legs bent. The male partner can then penetrate the female from behind.
Conclusion
Doggy style is a classic sex position that can be even hotter with creative variations, props, and toys. From the Binding Wheelbarrow to Reverse Cowgirl and Spooning, there are plenty of ways to improve your doggy style experience.
