Doggy style is one of the most famous Kamasutra sex positions. Some blame him for his too animal side and his lack of intimacy between partners. How to take pleasure, for men as for women, by practicing doggy style?

Doggy style is one of the most famous sex positions. Like the missionary or the Amazon, she is one of the great classics of Kamasutra. The woman is on her knees, resting on her hands or her forearms, and the man, also on his knees, enters her from behind, holding her by the hips. This position adapts just as well to vaginal penetration as anal penetration. Several explanations are offered, but legend has it that it derives its name from the female of the greyhound, a dog which has the particularity of having the front legs shorter than the rear legs.

If you like positions where the penetration is relatively deep, doggy style may be for you. It also makes it possible to adapt the rhythm according to the desires of the two partners. Because of its stability, doggy style can be practiced for a relatively long time, by varying the rhythms and phases of acceleration. Indeed, according to the angle of inclination and the speed, the doggy style allows the man to be able to vary the intensity of the movements and the penetration. Finally, like all back positions, doggy style does not allow you to see your partner. However, this relative distance can allow some shy people to feel better and to be more successful at letting go during sex. Feeling less “watched” can be liberating and give free rein to your emotions and expressions.

The doggy style is often associated with a position where the man “dominates” the woman, because of the influence he has on his movements, and his position “above” the woman. It is also sometimes criticized for being too bestial, because of its similarity to animal sexual positions. However, there is no correlation to be made: loving doggy style does not mean that you like to be dominated, nor that you are submissive to your partner. The other drawback that is sometimes criticized for this sexual position is the lack of proximity and intimacy between the partners. Since the woman is from behind, it is indeed not possible to see her, and to witness the expressions on her face. It is also difficult for partners to kiss or to be able to cuddle. Thus, some reproach the greyhound for its too “wild” side, devoid of contact. It is however possible to make variations in the position, so that it adapts to all desires.

Despite appearances, the woman has a lot of control in the doggy style. By varying its inclination, the spacing of its legs or the arch of its back, it is she who decides the angle of penetration and the depth. Thus, the doggy style can make it possible to stimulate his G-spot quite easily, by getting up or by leaning more or less. Likewise, this position allows the man, who has his hands free, to stroke the clitoris at the same time as the penetration takes place. This double stimulation allows you to get intense sensations to your partner. He can also choose to caress her breasts, buttocks or kidneys, while continuing to move back and forth. For her part, the woman can also, using one hand, masturbate during intercourse, to stimulate her clitoris and increase her pleasure.

Like the missionary, the doggy style is a basic position that can easily be varied. The woman can, for example, take support on her forearms instead of her hands, to incline her back more and thus have a deeper and more intense penetration. On the contrary, she can raise her bust and lean only on her legs, and come and do a clinch with her partner. This variant makes it possible to bring a more intimate dimension to the position, due to the privileged contact between the busts. Likewise, it allows partners to exchange kisses and more intense caresses on the breasts or the clitoris. The man can also carry the ankles of his partner until raising it: this position is called the wheelbarrow. This variation, however, requires more dexterity and is less easy to maintain over time. Finally, it is quite possible to integrate a vibrator into the doggy style, to be able to vary the forms of penetration.
