How to doggy style

If you think doggy style can't be intimate, you should take another look. Here, sex educators share all the things the doggy style sex position has going for it. Serious question: What's more pleasurable, a colonoscopy or doggy style? Some vulva-owners—especially those who are far too familiar with the jack rabbit-speed doggy style sex—will probably tell you both lack romance, intimacy, and comfort. Thing is, facing away from each other isn't necessarily a bad thing, she says.

Like all things sex, doggy style sex can come with a lot of questions. You can do doggy in any variety of ways so whichever is most comfortable for you, do that! Because doggy is a relaxing position that causes your pelvic muscles to be raised, more air can get inside, which might explain why doggy leads to queefing more so than other positions, explains Jones. Queefing is also caused by movement or changing positions, which could be the reason why. But you must remember, that's all it is: air. Just like queefing, there could be a variety of reasons why you feel bloated after doggy style, explains Jones.

Few sex positions are as versatile and pleasurable for both parties as doggy style. It can be playful and rough, or sensual and intimate, all depending on the angle. For the person on the receiving end, doggy style is perfectly placed to hit the G-spot and A-spot, if you have a vagina, or the P-spot, if you have a prostate — while the 'giver' benefits from deep penetration and an unrestricted view.

I kindly challenge anyone with a vagina who doesn't like doggy-style sex to seriously reconsider. I get that it's not the most intimate of positions—you're facing away from your partner, after all—and it's not exactly relaxing your arms get tired, and your knees can take a reaaal beating. But when done correctly, doggy style is incredibly satisfying. Why not remind them how lucky they are? Plus, for some folks, being on all fours and entered from behind—the most basic definition of doggy, which obviously comes from the way dogs themselves mate—can actually be mentally stimulating, too.
