Sexual Positions

The Doggy Style

The female is on all fours as the male penetrates her from the rear.

Rear entry (doggy style)

The attractiveness of rear entry sex is its animalistic lustfulness. It comes nearer to sex as it would once have been for our ancestors, than any other position, and it's certainly a powerful stimulus for the man, with the site of the woman's bottom, her cheeks parted to allow his penis entry to her body. Certainly men are turned on by this more than just about anything else, and they tend to come most quickly when having sex in this position. What of women's enjoyment? Opinion seems to be split roughly down the middle - some love it, and some hate it, a division which probably reflects whether or not an individual woman feels like a sex object rather than a loved partner when she gets into this position.

But assuming that a couple want to do it, what advantages does it have? First of all, a man has lots of flexibility in how he moves, and the type of thrusts he can make. He can move deeply or not as he chooses, and he can watch himself as he goes in and out of her vagina, which can be a powerful turn-on. And his female partner can move her hips in all kinds of ways, so she can either remain still as he thrusts, or she can meet his movements with back and forward thrusts of her pelvis. If the man chooses to lean forward and embrace his partner, he can use one hand to caress her stomach and breasts and he can always reach around and tease her clitoris. He can also see her bottom, which is a very powerful sexual stimulus for most men, and he has free access to her anus, which may be exciting if a couple like anal play.

Alternatively the man may remain still and allow his female partner to thrust her hips back and forwards along his penis - a unique kind of movement which is very different and exciting for the man, hinting at his partner's eagerness to embrace his penis.

If a couple think rear entry isn't a very intimate sex position there are ways to make it seem less lustful. A mirror placed strategically in front of the couple will allow the man and woman to look into each other's eyes and establish greater connection - apart from which, the experience of watching their lovemaking can very sexy in itself.

A lot of couples find that the man slips out when they make love this way - this has nothing to do with the size of his penis! The man needs to learn to establish a slow steady rhythm and control the depth of his strokes so that he does not slip out as he thrusts. And if the woman moves her hips as well, it may take a little time for the couple to learn a comfortable rhythm. But the results are well worth it!

The rear entry sex position described - basic rear entry

The woman lies on her stomach or kneels on all fours, with her lover kneeling behind her. (A standing variation is described below.) He can place his legs inside or outside hers, and then he inserts his penis. This may take a little orientation until he is used to the angle, and the woman may need to raise or lower her hips to the right height so that he can easily get into her vagina; once he's in, she may wish to close or tighten her legs so as to increase the friction and grip on his penis. He can thrust away as slowly or as quickly as he likes, and either grip her pelvis or reach around and play with her breasts and clitoris. Deep thrusting is particularly easy, and the man can stimulate the upper inside wall of the vagina, where the G-spot is located, in a way he cannot in other positions. The intensity of the experience means that a man will come quickly and so it can be a good way to finish making love after the woman has had her orgasm and the man is ready to enjoy his.

Variations on the basic rear entry

The man standing

A very arousing and powerful position for the man. This is certainly in the top ten favorite positions for men.

The woman lies on the bed with the man on top of her

Again, like all these positions, there are many small variations that a couple can discover for themselves, and which may add a whole new dimension to the experience. It's all about the angle of the penis in the vagina, and, for the man, his ability to see his partner from the rear and take pleasure in the sheer male lustfulness of this act. This positions is a good one for a quick fuck - a man's lustful need to have a simple, straightforward fuck from time to time is often overlooked! It may be easier to make love successfully in this position if the woman has a pillow under her hips so as to raise them a bit for the man to gain easier entry to her vagina.

Rear entry - sitting

You can do this in a chair, with the man sitting down and the woman on top of him, facing away (or even towards, though of course that is hardly rear entry). Or you can do it as shown in the picture below. It's a very restful position for both man and woman, and the female can move as quickly or as slowly as she wishes, either thrusting her hips up and down, or in a circular pattern, or in a gentle rocking motion. The depth and speed of lovemaking are under her control. A nice, gentle position, especially good when either partner is not strong or is disabled.
