8 Reasons to Flip Over and Indulge in Some Doggy Style Action
We all have our favourite positions, and the ones on top (har har!) may differ when surveying the sexes. Doggy style may not be the first position we try with a new partner — or even a not-new partner — but there’s a lot to love about it.
You may already know that doggy style is one of the best sex positions for deeper penetration, and if you’re working toward a vaginal orgasm (and aren’t we all Ladies?!) you’ve got the best chance at reaching orgasm if you’re doing it like they do on the Discovery Channel.
Whether you are turned on by being a bit dominated, letting yourself surrender, or just knowing that with doggy, your partner can hit all the right spots — and deeply too — it’s absolutely worth giving this position a try.
Why does doggy style rank so high on people’s ‘bone-o-meters’?
For doggy, the angle of his thrusting is going to often dictate how good this feels for you, so give your partner a lot of encouragement along the way and let him know what feels right and what can be adjusted. And make sure to bring some cushioning, being on all fours can feel awkward after a while.
Want to kick it up another notch? Bring a vibrator in for some additional fun and slip it down there — it’ll stimulate both of you while you’re going at it.
Go Deeper
If the person being penetrated has a vagina, this angle can actually move how the cervix sits in relation to the vagina, allowing the penetrator to go underneath it for a deeper penetration than in most other positions. If the receiver is getting it anally, it can straighten out the anal canal for a similarly deeper penetration.
Cushion Up
Doggy style can be a bit tough on your joints. Consider putting pillows under either partner’s knees, or even under the receiver’s hips, so that they can still relax and enjoy the angle while getting it on.
You Aren’t At Any Greater Risk From UTIs
Some believe you’re more likely to contract a urinary tract infection if you do it doggy. That’s simply not true. Sex in general exposes a female-bodied person with a higher likelihood of UTI. UTIs occur when bacteria is exposed to the urethra. Women have much shorter urethras than men, making infections easier to contract. UTIs can be very painful and require being treated by antibiotics. Regardless of any positions practiced, pee afterwards to wash away any potential bacterial exposure.”
It’s Not Submissive
Fact of the matter is that this position feels great for a lot of people because, physiologically, it can hit a lot of the right spots. You don’t have to give up any control to enjoy doggy style from the bottom.
Spanking Anyone…?
Smacking dat ass is not mandatory! Ask before you spank. If the question is answered with a responding and enthusiastic ‘Yes,’ then spank away!
Switch Things Up
So often, doggy style is portrayed as the someone pounding away at their partner from behind, but it doesn’t have to be that way! Back that ass up! Bounce, pop, swing, and roll your hips. Your partner will love it. Plus, all that movement churns your pelvic floor muscles, giving you added stimulation. Or lower your body so that you’re laying on your stomach for a slow grind instead of a deep thrust.
It Can Be Cosy
Doggy Style can be intimate. It’s a vulnerable position, and can imply a certain amount of surrender and trust. Your partner can kiss your back, neck, and shoulders, and whisper lovely things in your ear.
Just Like Yoga
There’s a reason we do the Cat/Cow positions in yoga (and why someone always giggles through them). Being on your hands and knees allows your hips to open, and can release lower back tension. Add sexual pleasure to that … win-win!
And if all of the above doesn’t make you wanna do it like they do on the Discovery Channel, there is the bonus of multi-tasking. As if anyone can say no to a bit of banging and boxset binging – the ultimate Netflix and chill!
