Top 5 Sex Positions to Hit From Behind

Something our sex surveys always tell us is that no matter who you are, how you identify, or who you like to have sex with, doggy style is probably one of the most popular sex positions there is and we don't disagree. However, did you know there are a multitude of positions that work in that same rear entry way, but that can take good ol' trusted doggy style up to some elite pedigree show sex? Here are five of our favourites!

barberry

Barberry

This sex position needs a little bit of flexibility on her part, but can be an amazing position for depth and g-spot stimulation. She lies with a raised pillow under her chest and belly, and, holding her ankles, pulls her legs towards her back. He kneels just behind the raised pillow and enters her from behind, holding her butt or hips for leverage. With her hands holding into her legs it can be a little tricky, but can also create an almost floating weightless feeling for her as well. Also be aware that holding this position can get a little achy in the knee area for some... But if you're young and flexible and don't have a care in the world about your knees and joints... go for it!

curled-angel

Curled Angel

Similar to the spooning position, the Curled Angel is a side by side sex position where he curls in behind her and enters her in an embrace. The difference between this and spooning is more his position being slightly raised to her lying right down, whereas spooning usually has both parties lying at the same level.

It's a beautifully close and intimate position, with slow, rocking-together movements being the best way to enjoy it, and it's also a really great position for those with certain tummy issues, like pregnancy for example, or insecurities like many of us have about extra bits on our bodies.

flatiron

Flat Iron

This is another position where both people are closely pushed together, for deep, slow, carnal contact. With her on her belly and him lying flat against her back, it is a position for intimate closeness and delicious whispered words in her ear. For those into more affectionate Dom and sub play this is a position where he can absolutely show his gentle force of power with his weight fully on her (and can also incorporate the use of ties and binds), while speaking or growling his secret desires and fantasies into her ear.

lapdance

Lap Dance

Pretty much exactly what it sounds like, the Lap Dance position is a seated one where he sits on a chair and she sits forward on his lap. Depending on the height differences between the two, it can sometimes be a good idea to have a table or something in front for her (or even a foot stool if she's very much shorter, to use as balance and leverage, but with his hands strong and gripped around her hips, over balancing is rare.

pegging

Pegging

As if we were going to leave you guys out of this! Pegging is fun and excellent and y'all should try it at least once. Especially if you're wanting to perhaps do similar to your partner. Finding a good strap on and harness is the first step, as is lube (lots of lube) and an open mind. According to those who know, you will never experience an orgasm like the orgasm achieved when the prostate is stimulated too, so what are you waiting for? Strap on and strap in!

    all perfect except the pegging. I have an open mind and will try if my partner asks me too, as I am a devoted lover. If it gives her pleasure I am sure that it will give me pleasure. I will try it out but doubt, as a hetero man, that I will enjoy it. But who knows? You dont know if you like something untill you try it. I DEFINATELY would NOT ever under any circumstanves have this done to me by a man. That is absolutely without a doubt for me.

      FYI the term "pegging" only relates to a woman wearing a strap-on performing penetrative sex on a man. If it was a man having sex with a man then it would just be called anal sex regardless if a dildo was involved or not. So when we refer to pegging in our articles we are always referencing an MF encounter.

    Love them all except pegging, it’s not for me. Been asked numerous times over the years but it would turn me off sex I think. Not at all interested in doing that to a man :)

      yeah, as a hetero man I definately don't find that appealing. I may try it however if my partner wants to though? If she's happy I would be too. You don't know if you like something untill you try it. I have an open mind, but I doubt I will like it if I ever have the chance to do it with that special someone (or someones)

      I want to do this to my lover, but, he keeps flatly refusing….not being open minded is a turn-off for me.

    Hooray for the Flat Iron (or prone doggy style) for me thats a great position because there is so much more body contact than the standard doggy. And yes whispering/growling and also access to the nape of the neck, earlobes and the lady (can) have a free hand or two to stimulate herself. But really, who am I trying advise? Just glad it’s on the list, nice work Eva
