Doggy style is one of the most popular and most frequently practiced sex positions. One person has a view of the back of the other and both enjoy particularly deep penetration. We'll show you how doggy style works and the best tricks for even more variety in this position!
How does doggy style work?
The doggy style can be quite animalistic. The person in front is on all fours - in the so-called quadruped position. The partner kneels behind them and can then use their penis or strap-on to penetrate deep into the vagina or the anus.
The active partner has an excellent view of the passive partner's bottom from their position. One option is for the active partner to hold onto the other person's hips, or you could also use anal toys! If the active partner leans forward a little, they can also massage the clitoris or the penis of the passive partner. Do you like it a little wilder? Then why not combine doggy style with spanking, choking or pulling on the hair.
The passive part enjoys particularly deep penetration in doggy style. For women, this position is ideal for stimulating the sensitive tissue inside the vagina - also the G-spot can be stimulated in this position. For men, it is the p-point that can be pampered in this position. But be careful: if you start too intensely, the deep penetration can cause pain. It is therefore advisable to insert the penis or strap-on carefully and gradually increase the intensity.
There is virtually no eye contact possible during doggy style (unless you are watching yourself in the mirror). If you are particularly keen on kissing and eye contact during sex, this position is not suitable for you. Sex from behind - also called a tergo - has something animalistic and wicked about it for many couples. With doggy style, you can live out your fantasies around uninhibited sex!
5 tips for doggy style variations
Like every sex position, doggy style also has lots of variations, all of which are also suitable as anal sex positions. We will show you five variations to experiment with and try out!
1. Very comfortable doggy style - spoon position
With this tender version of sex from behind, also known as spooning, both partners lie down and turn to their sides. The active partner can cuddle up to their partner from behind and cover their neck with kisses, for example. Many people enjoy this variation as a pleasant position for morning sex.
The passive partner can either press their upper body close to their partner or make a slight hollow back and lean forward.
2. Standing doggy style
This sex position is particularly suitable for a quickie, as you don't have to undress completely or need a bed. The passive part turns their face towards a wall and supports themselves with their arms or hands. If there is no wall nearby, a table, hood or counter can also be used for support.
Now the passive partner leans forward slightly and stretches their rear end towards the active partner so that they can penetrate from behind. If there is a significant difference in size, you can use a chair to help.
3. Doggy style in a sitting position
The passive part kneels on a chair, armchair, sofa or on the edge of the bed so that the active part can stand behind it. Tip: A cushion protects your knees on a hard surface!
4. Doggy style lying down - Elephant position
In Kamasutra, this position is known as the elephant position. Both partners lie on their stomachs: the passive partner on the bottom and the active partner on top. The passive partner has their legs stretched out, creating a particularly tight opening - intense friction is created. In this position, the clitoris or the P-spot experience ideal stimulation. In addition, the elephant position is also perfect for taking some speed out of sex a tergo and focusing more on intensity.
5. Other doggy style variations
Do you prefer the classic four-footed stance? Here, the active part has more freedom of movement by putting one leg up. This allows them to control their hips better and penetrate more powerfully.
The passive partner can also position their upper body lower and support themselves on their elbows. This allows the penis or strap-on to reach other places inside the body. Test what feels pleasurable for both of you. The passive person can also relax and stroke their clitoris or penis in this position. If the man is behind, the passive person can reach back and stroke their partner's testicles. Share what feels pleasurable!
