Ah, doggie style. Man's best friend.
Guys consistently rate it their favorite sex position—and there are a lot of reasons to love it. Not only does it feel all hot and primal, but it also lets you go really deep. (Just try not to fracture your penis in the process, friends.) But did you know there are ways to make doggy style sex even hotter?
Yup, you read that right. Adding a toy... Doing it outside the bedroom... Incorporating a little butt stuff... There are so many ways to make doggy style more amazing than it already is, according to Dr. Zhana Vrangalova, LELO "sexpert" and NYU professor of human sexuality.
Here are 6 ways to spice up doggy style sex.
1) Pay attention to her clitoris.
"It's a great position for external clit stimulation," Vrangalova says of doggy style. You can reach around and use your hand or a clitoral vibrator to get her off. Vrangalova recommends LELO's Lily 2 or Smart Wand—or even the Sona sonic massager.
Not sure how to touch her clitoris? Ask her what feels best. (For more guidance, here's a study on what women like the most when it comes to clit stimulation.)
2) Get rough with it.
A lot of people are turned on by spanking during sex, and doggy style is a great position to do it.
"Doggy style is the perfect position for some rough sex, if that's something you and your partner enjoy—things like hair pulling, scratching, butt slapping," Vrangalova says. "Of course, make sure you get consent from your partner before you try one of these." (The same goes for ANY sex act.)
3) Do it in front of a mirror.
If rough sex isn't your thing, here's a tip to make doggy style more intimate, instead.
"I recommend doing it in front of a mirror, allowing you and your partner to look each other in the eye (as well as be able to observe the rest of the hot scene)," Vrangalova says. "You can also forgo any rough stuff and incorporate, instead, a lot of caressing of your partner's back, ass and legs, slow thrusts, and little breaks—with the penis or dildo still inside them—to grab their head, turn it around and give them a passionate kiss."
4) Change the angle.
Doggy style allows for deep penetration, which is great for guys with smaller penises. But if you're on the larger end of the spectrum, and standard doggy style is too intense for your partner, you can try tweaking your positioning.
Your partner can try changing the angle by leaning forward or backward, Vrangalova says. She can press her legs together, "creating a bit of a cushion in between." (Of course, if it's still uncomfortable for her, it's probably time to try another position—and we have plenty of suggestions.)
5) Butt stuff.
"Doggy style is great for incorporating some anal play for additional stimulation," Vrangalova says. You can use your finger or an anal toy, like this PicoBong vibrating butt plug.
6) Change your location.
Having sex outside of the bedroom—or wherever you typically get down—is a great way to spice things up.
"Doggy style is super versatile in terms of where you can do it," Vrangalova says. Do it on the couch...the kitchen counter...even the beach, because apparently, it's a great position for avoiding sand contact.
