Doggy Style

What is Doggy Style?

Doggy style is a popular sexual position in which the woman stands on all fours and is penetrated by the man from behind. It’s called “doggy style” because it mimics the way dogs and other four-legged mammals engage in sexual intercourse.

The World’s Favorite Sex Position?

Doggy style is often considered to be the world’s most popular sex position, with 35% of people claiming doggy style is their favorite. Missionary and cowgirl are next on the list.

Doggy style is a massive favorite of both sexes because it allows for deeper penetration and makes it easier for women to orgasm. However, critics of doggy style believe the position is not as intimate as, for example, missionary, and can miss out on clitoral stimulation.

It’s important to note that preferences concerning sexual positions can change drastically from culture to culture and country to country. In Australia, for example, the number-one sex position is—believe it or not—the spider!

Getting the Most of Doggy Style

Great as it is, doggy style can get even better! If you’re tired of just pounding (or being pounded away), try the following doggy-style hacks:

• Use a frontside or lateral mirror so everybody can have a clear view of what’s happening;
• Wrap your arms around your partner to create more intimacy;
• Lie flat on the bed for skin-to-skin contact—don’t worry, pounding can still resume!
