Variations on the classic from-behind position.

Doggy Style Positions

Doggy style is one of the most popular and versatile sex positions. One partner bends over or kneels on all fours for rear-entry penetration — offering deep sensation, primal energy, and a view that never gets old. These variations take the classic and evolve it into something even more connected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about doggy style positions.

What are the best doggy style variations?

Great doggy style variations include Evolved Doggy (small posture refinements for a better angle), Upward Dog (a yoga-inspired arch that opens the body), Back Doggy (a pronounced arch for deeper sensation), and Dirty Doggy which combines from-behind intimacy with oral attention. Even small changes to her back's arch or his stance height can significantly shift sensation.

How do you do doggy style from the back?

She kneels on the bed with her upper body lowered toward the mattress, supported on her forearms or a pillow, with her back arched and hips raised. He kneels behind her, holding her hips or waist to control the rhythm. A pillow under her chest supports the lowered upper body comfortably.

How can you make doggy style deeper?

Deepen doggy style by having her lower her chest toward the bed or arch her back, elevating her hips (a pillow under her hips or chest raises the angle), or having him adjust his stance so the angle aligns for maximum depth. The deeper the arch, the more intense the angle.

Is doggy style good for deep penetration?

Yes — doggy style is one of the best positions for deep penetration because the rear-entry angle naturally allows more depth. Adding an arch or elevating her hips increases it further, which is why many deep-penetration favorites are doggy-style variations.
