Doggy StyleSex Position
One partner on hands and knees, other from behind.
Doggy style has one partner on hands and knees while the other kneels or stands behind. It offers a different angle from face-to-face positions, gives the partner in front freedom to set the depth, and is popular because it is simple to get into and easy to adapt.
📋 How to do it
- 1The partner in front gets on hands and knees on a soft surface, with knees about hip-width apart.
- 2The partner behind kneels close, holding the hips or waist for stability.
- 3Agree on depth and speed early: the partner in front can ease back or forward to control it.
- 4If arms get tired, lower to the forearms or rest the chest on a pillow.
✨ Tips for comfort & connection
Use a soft surface or folded blanket under the knees. Lowering the chest while keeping the hips raised changes the angle, and the partner behind can reach around for extra stimulation. Slow, steady movement is often more comfortable than speed.
⚠️ Safety & comfort
Avoid locking the elbows or putting strain on the wrists; use forearms if needed. The partner in front should say right away if the depth is too much.
💡 Tips
Use a soft surface for knees.
✅ Benefits
Allows for deep penetration and stimulates different angles than face-to-face positions. Gives the receiving partner a sense of being taken.
🔄 Variations
Try the flat version where the receiving partner lies stomach-down for a tighter feel. Reach around for additional stimulation.
🎯 Best For
Couples who enjoy deep penetration and dominant-submissive dynamics. Great for G-spot and prostate stimulation.

Is doggy style comfortable for everyone?

How do I make it easier on the knees?
