Why do we love doggy?

Recently our What's Your Favourite Sex Position article confirmed something we've always known, doggy really is a human's best friend! Overwhelmingly in the comments section, and also in the blog suggestions we get, doggy style comes in number one for both men and women as their favourite and most enjoyable sex position. And no wonder! It's one of the most versatile and sexually pleasing (both physically and visually) positions out there.

We like to watch!

For him the visuals of fucking her from behind can be a bit like his own personal porn movie. The curve of her back. The roundness of her buttocks rising up to meet him. Her perfectly positioned pussy just waiting to be filled. And let's not forget the amazing blend of visual and physical pleasure in being able to watch himself thrust in and out of her. It is truly a visual feast of eroticism and sexiness. Yum!

It has Comfort, Versatility & Style

There are so many ways to do doggy! From the traditional style of her on all fours and him kneeling behind, to the more intimate position of lay-down doggy where both bodies are closely connected and sweet nothings (or nasty somethings) can be whispered in her ear, to the many different ways you can use surfaces, chairs and tables to create new and exciting positions. With some imagination and experimentation you can do a different style of doggy every day of the week! It doesn't even matter if you have dodgy knees or low fitness or other health issues, there are ways to place pillows and other things under and around your body to take the weight off certain areas while still getting those hot, sexy-as-fuck feelings.

It's very primal!

While sure, we* all like the slow, intimate deliciousness of love-making, there really is something deep down inside us* that wants primal, animalistic, take-it-all sex, and doggy style is one of the very best for getting just that. His hands gripping tight. Her hips pushing back and forth. The heat. The grunts. The thrusts and the sounds. Add in a little light spanking and hair pulling and you've got the perfect combination for a horny-licious affair.

(*Yes. I know. We are all different. Generalised language is just a writing style. Scroll on if it doesn't apply to you)

It’s all about the angle

While we know for many women orgasms from penetration alone are a little elusive, when it comes to doggy style it seems that, for a lot of women, this is the position that allows them to feel those inside sensations and orgasmic feelings easier than any other. This is perhaps due to not only the angle of entry allowing for the gspot to be rubbed in just the right way, but also the mental stimulation that can come from the sexy and primal rawness of it as mentioned above, which creates powerful and erotic mental imagery for her to lose herself in. It also makes it a lot easier for her to play with her clit at the same time, without obstructing the other action that's going on, which is always a good recipe for climax.

It's for everyone

Kinky or vanilla,  gay or straight, fat or thin, male or female, or however you identify, doggy style can work for you. Kink it up with spanks and erotic outfits. Make it intimate and close with massage oil (remember oils degrade condoms so if you’re using them try water based massage products instead) to slide your bodies together. Grab a strap-on for girl on girl fun or girl on guy pegging action. Take her over the couch for a quick, exciting fuck. Give your knees a rest with sex specific furniture. Use sex toys like clit vibes and butt plugs and other accessories to enhance the fun. No matter who you are or what your sexual pleasure is, you really can get it all from this amazing position.

      Nothing better than watching the stretch and feeling the squirm as you push just a little deeper than she is expecting

    Since I've been single in the last three years I've had a lot of partners and was very surprised to find doggy is their favourite go to position. I would have thought that they don't get enough stimulation but studies have shown that the clitorus isn't just the little bean we concentrate our tongues on. Many women like the deep penetration of doggy and prefer to orgasm that way. It is very primal but I do like eye contact at the moment of joy but not complaining ;)

    By far the best position to watch and feel and using a fist full of hair to make sure she doesn’t squirm off

    I've often found it really awkward, as I've always been taller than my partners, and, then there's the issue of sinking into the bed, because you're not entirely spread out across it, and, dispersing the mass evenly

      You need a harder mattress! LoL You need a good hard mattress for a good hard fuck.
      But you are spot on with the height difference. Men shorter than me can't seem to understand that. And then say "Height doesn't matter in bed" Umm Yes it does!

      I'm not much into fucking, anyway, and, prefer to make love to my partners
      Slow and sensual always wins, over a hard pounding, in my book
      Sure things can get a bit primal, towards the end, which is natural, but, there's really no point starting at 10, because there's nowhere to go, after that
      You need to build up some intensity, it's not a race

      Totally agree Virt. Start hard and fast ends very quickly. Need the build up and take it slow. Savour every minute. Enjoy every movement.

    Add a mirror for better visuals. Girls doing the one arm push up give the clit a good massage I have found as well. All good.

    The reasons for popularity of doggy are as much anatomical as anything. The most sensitive part of the penis is the frenulum, and during sex from a rear entry, this is the part that comes into contact with the rough surface of the vagina up behind the clitoris. This is also the area that stimulates the female g-spot. So, in having sex in this position, the female receives the best stimulation of the g-spot from the pressure applied by the thrusting, and the male receives extra stimulation from the frenulum sliding over the most textured part of the vagina. Win/win. It should be noted that the best position to take advantage of this is while standing. Have the female lean slightly forward against a wall, while the male, being typically taller, will have pressure applied to his penis at the rear edge of the vagina, resulting in the head being pushed down and firmer toward the g- spot. Take your time and enjoy.

    BUT...does this compare to the camel or the famed ozy bunyip, it might be a position equal to a galoop or even a goanna, or a cat on a hot frenchy ruffle, however whilst I am having a slight PPP (primal positioning problem) during lockdown, at least this article reminds me of some good times...yes to my men! x

    I like doggy, no doubt.
    But I have read that for many women, a sex position that doesn’t involve clitoral stimulation is not very enticing. This is because many women find it difficult to achieve orgasm without some direct clitoral contact.
    Just curious, is doggy still a favourite position for women?

      Whilst it doesn't provide any direct clitoral stimulation, both lying down doggy and standing doggy can provide internal stimulation. And doggy itself allows clitoral play with hands or toys. Check out Eva's article on the different types of orgasms - you might be surprised - and not every woman is the same so watch her reactions and ask her what she likes - she'll tell you.

      Absolutely! Allows both of us to be in control at times and mix up the movement. Love feeling his balls slapping against me as we get really deep. It is really easy to adjust the angle too for different sensations. And just being flat out pounded is more than enough too!

    to be honest, i think doggy is the best position, you can watch it slide in deep and can control the tempo by holding her hips

    I love doggy to, but with endometriosis it can be painful if too deep. Also I find doggy means fanny farts .. which means I avoid doing the position due to embarrassment
