Easy tips to make the most of doggy style

I’ve always wondered why doggy has such a bad reputation. Sure, it’s not the most intimate position and it’s not the easiest to sustain either. Many vagina owners also complain about it being painful and sometimes uncomfortable (deep penetration might sound hot in theory but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea!). And let's be honest, doggy can feel extremely primal and insanely sexy to some but a turn-off for others. However, despite all this, no one can dispute the fact that this position leads to orgasms that leave you breathless and flushed; and this is true for both partners, which is rare to find in a position!

The bottom line is, doggy is a classic for a reason. And if you’re still on the fence, we’ve curated a handbook that will not only address any issues you have with the position but also help you take your pleasure and orgasms to the next level! 

Double up on the foreplay 

Do you avoid doing it doggy style because sometimes you find it more painful than the rest of the positions? The way to this concern is to amp up the foreplay. You see, the doggy position is intense considering it offers deep penetration and it lacks the comfort of missionary or cowgirl. But it’s also the most rewarding and leads to the biggest of Os if done right. If you’re finding it painful, it’s because your va-jay-jay isn’t ready. It also means that you and your partner need to spend more time stimulating various erogenous zones or doing whatever it is that turns you on (from oral and dirty talk to teasing each other, the sky is the limit!). And you’ll know when you’re wet and ready!  

Use a mirror  

Unless you’re bendier than Pheobe, eye contact during doggy is impossible. However, one way to play up the intimacy is by doing it in front of a mirror. This allows you to make eye contact and let's be honest, who can say no to that red-hot view?

Leave the bedroom  

The beauty of doggy (other than the fact that it is one of the most pleasurable positions) is that you don’t need a bed to do it. You can try it in the shower (put down a non-slip mat first), over a sturdy table or kitchen counter, and if the backseat of your car is wide enough, there too. Leaving the comfort of your bed will automatically make your sexual experience more thrilling! 

Lube it up! 

A lot of times our bodies don’t produce the amount of lubrication needed for a position as intense as doggy. Hence, the need to double down on the foreplay. But if you want to maximise pleasure and have toe-curling Os, invest in a good water-based lube. This way there will be no friction, pain or chafing and you can have a doggy marathon if you want!
