Doggy Style (Sex position)

Doggy style is one of the most popular sex positions where the penetrating partner is behind and the receiving partner is on all fours or leaning on something. The classic version involves support on hands and knees, but the position can easily be adapted to make it more comfortable and pleasurable for both.

One of the main advantages of doggy style is deep penetration. In this position, the penis is tight against the G-spot, which can intensify the sensations. In addition, the partner behind you can freely use your hands, for example, to stimulate the clitoris, support your hips or hug your waist

Why is doggy style one of the most popular positions?

Doggy-style is deservedly considered one of the most arousing positions, and it's not just about deep penetration. It is a universal option that can be easily adapted to yourself.

The main advantage of the position is the ability to control the depth and strength of movements. Due to the fact that the penetrating partner is right behind the back, they can easily change the pace, adjusting the rhythm depending on the mood; which is especially important if you want to alternate smooth, stretching movements with more vigorous ones. In addition, this position is ideal for stimulating the G-spot, because at the right angle of penetration of the penis tightly fits the front wall of the vagina.

But it's not just about physiology. The visual side also plays a role: for many people, the sight of a partner in this position is incredibly arousing. In addition, your hands remain free, which means you can stimulate your breasts, caress your clitoris or even add toys.

How to do doggy style correctly to make it comfortable and pleasurable

The classic variant is to stand on all fours, leaning on your palms or forearms, and spread your legs slightly apart. The higher your hips are raised and the stronger the bend in your lower back, the more likely it is that your penis will be pressed tightly against the front wall of the vagina, creating intense G-spot stimulation.

If you want to try something new or the classic version seems uncomfortable, you can lie on your stomach and put a pillow under your thighs. This will help to slightly change the angle of penetration, which for some feels much more pleasant and deeper.

Different variations of Doggy style sex position

• Modified doggy-style - if you are holding hands for a long time your back or wrists get tired, you can lean not on the palms, but on the forearms.

• Doggy-style standing is a great option if you want something more spontaneous. Both partners are upright and the recipient leans forward, leaning against a wall, table or any other surface. This position gives more freedom of movement and is suitable for fast, energetic sex.

• Doggy-style lying down is an option for those who like gentle and smooth movements. The partner who receives penetration lies on the stomach, and the second one is placed on top. A pillow under the hips will help to slightly raise the pelvis, and add sensitivity.

Additional nipple stimulation in doggy-style position

One of the main advantages of doggy style position is that the one who makes the movement has their hands free, which means that you can do anything! For example, pay attention to the nipples or stimulate the clitoris, while playing with other erogenous zones.

Clitoral stimulation during penetration

Not everyone orgasms purely from penetration, so doggie style is a great opportunity to add external stimulation. Include a hands-free vibrator in the process - it stays in place and adds fire during penetration; remember sex toys are not just for solo play, but a great way to make sex together even more vivid. In this sense, vibrating on the clitoris can take pleasure to the next level, making the moment truly memorable for both you and your partner.

Add anal stimulation

Want to intensify your pleasure in doggy style? Try adding an anal plug! This can make the sensations even more intense: the penetrating partner will get a “fullness” effect and the receiving partner will feel a slight pressure on the back wall of the vagina, which can add a nice new sensation.

Try doggy style anywhere you like

One of the main pros of this pose is its versatility! Whether it's in the shower, the kitchen, or even the living room, sex in this position can be incredibly sensual and spontaneous. Plus, the very fact that you're doing it outside of the bedroom adds spice and excitement, making sex even hotter.

The cons of the sex position 

• Less eye contact: If eye contact is important to you, doggy style may seem less intimate. It's harder to catch your partner's emotions in this position, which for some people reduces the level of emotional intimacy.

• Depth is not always a plus: If the penetration is too deep or sharp, it can cause discomfort and sometimes even pain. This is especially true if the partners have not found the optimal rhythm or angle of penetration.

• Physical strain: For the receiving partner, staying in this position for a long time can be tiring, especially if the muscles in the arms and legs are not used to this position. After a while, there may be tension in the back or knees, which is a little disconcerting.

Variety of doggy style: variants of poses for different sensations

Doggy style is one of the most popular positions, and for good reason. It provides deep penetration, allows you to experiment with rhythm and angles, and leaves room for additional stimulation. However, this position has several variations that will help you to diversify the sensations and adapt the position to your preferences.

Eiffel Tower

This variation is suitable for those who have good flexibility. In it, the receiving partner bends forward so that their upper body is as close to the floor as possible, but their legs remain straight. This creates a strong flexion effect, allowing the partner to penetrate deeper. However, due to the high strain on the lower back and legs, the pose can be tiring, so it's important to keep an eye on comfort.

Doggy style with the head up

It differs from the classic position, as the receiving partner does not lower their head, but instead slightly arches their neck and back, maintaining contact with their partner. This angle can make penetration less abrupt but more controlled; and it also opens up the possibility for additional stimulation of the neck, ears, or breasts if the partner involves his hands in the process.

Deeper flexion

The receiving partner lowers their chest and head as low as possible, creating a strong bend in their lower back. This makes penetration more intense and gives the sensation of greater depth; however, this position can cause a strong tension in the lumbar region, so it is important to maintain a comfortable position and adjust the angle if necessary.

Doggy-style on a table

In this variant, the receiving partner lies on their stomach on a table or any suitable surface, pulling their legs closer to her chest. The giving partner stands behind, fully controlling the depth and rhythm of penetration. This position is suitable for those who want to relax and focus on the sensations; and it is also convenient for additional stimulation of the clitoris or breasts.

Lazy Dog

The receiving partner lies on their stomach, and the partner is positioned on top, penetrating from behind. This pose reduces the load on the muscles and makes the process more comfortable, which is suitable for prolonged sex. Depending on the rhythm and movements, the position can be both relaxed and gentle, and dominant.
