Every position, from missionary to reverse cowgirl, has its benefits. However, it’s doggy style that continues to smash the charts and has even previously been voted as the UK’s favourite sexual position. And, as if being the best position to hit the G-spot isn’t reason enough for you to dig doggy style, here are 12 reasons why doggy style is the best sexual position there is.
1. A bit more about that G-spot Your partner’s penis is naturally tilted slightly downwards and, in doggy style, it rubs up against the G-spot as a result. And if it’s good enough for mother nature…
2. You’re more in control than you think And there are plenty of fun variations and nifty tricks to give you control over the depth of penetration, including lowering yourself onto your elbows to increase it or reducing the arch in your back to decrease it.
3. Sex isn’t always pretty And there’s a reason people’s cum faces are a bit of a running joke. So while some love nothing more than gazing into the eyes of their beloved mid orgasm, for others, the idea of being able to contort your face in ecstasy in relative privacy is welcomed – and that’s where doggy comes in handy.
4. But you can enjoy the show Alternatively, if watching gets you off, there is no sexier position than doggy style in front of a mirror to turn up the heat and send your partner wild as you throw him a sultry glance mid-thrust.
5. It’s flattering Because what’s not to love about the graceful curve of a back (and a smokin’ ass in your face.)
6. It’s comfortable So, unless you suffer from bad knees, you’ll be able to thrust away quite comfortably without trembling under the weight of your partner or getting cramp after 30 seconds.
7. It’s raw And there is something wild, naughty and unadulterated about not having face to face contact during sex – and while making love has its place, doggy style is the perfect tonic when you’re in the mood something a bit more caveman.
8. You can multi-task And your clitoris is in the perfect position to be stimulated by either yourself or your partner. As are your breasts.
9. Boobs While earning itself the reputation as being one of the less intimate of positions, doggy style is, actually, the perfect way to add a bit of boob fondling into the mix. Cupping your hands over your partners’ is also the perfect way to show him how you like them being touched – and you can’t get more intimate than that.
10. It doesn’t require a bed Or getting fully naked. Which means plenty more fun in the kitchen, bathroom, shower, on the staircase, leaning over the tumble dryer while on full spin cycle. And, back in the room.
11. It’s not a one trick pony And has an orgasm-enticing number of variations, including standing up for a quickie or spooning on your side if you’re after a bit more intimacy.
12. It’s the best position for a bit of light spanking And the perfect way to add a bit of extra ‘cheek’ into the bedroom.
