To perform Doggy Style with your man, you need to get down on your hands and knees with your legs spread apart. Then your guy gets down on his knees and enters you from behind.
What The Girl Does In The Doggy Style Position
When you are in the Doggy Style position, you don’t have to do much other than stay in position. If you want harder penetration, then you can push back onto your man with each stroke. Or you can use one hand to masturbate during it. You can change the angle he is penetrating you at by arching your back either downwards or upwards, along with moving your upper body either up or down.
What The Guy Does In The Doggy Style Position
Your man will be thrusting in and out when you are in the Doggystyle position. But there are a bunch of simple things that he can do to change it up and add some very exciting variation in.
- If he leans backward or forwards a little, he can alter the angle of entry.
- When your man is behind you, he is in the perfect position to reach around and start rubbing your clit or even finger you if you are having anal sex.
- Your man can have his legs inside your legs. Or he can have them outside your legs. Try both to see what you find most satisfying.
- If you like your man being dominant, then he can spank you from behind during Doggy Style. He can also grab your hair while riding you.
- If you like more intense sex, then he can grab your waist and pull you into him with each thrust. Another option is for him to grab your shoulders to pull you in.
- For more sensual sex, he can lightly scratch your back.
As with all positions, make sure to give your man plenty of feedback so that he can figure out what you enjoy and what you don’t. Our guide on sexual communication will help.

How To Enhance Doggy Style Sex
Along with the advice above, there are some other great things you can do to add some extra pleasure to Doggy Style.
Pushing Back – Just because your man is in the dominant position doesn’t mean that you have to be entirely passive. You can push back on your man for more explosive sex.
Pillow Under Hips – Another trick that your man can use is putting a soft pillow under your hips and grabbing either side of it. This way he can pull you into him with a lot of force without having to grab your sides and potentially hurt you.
Hands Tied – If BDSM and getting dominated by your man is what you are after, then get him to tie your hands behind your back beforehand, so he is in total control. Just remember that having a safeword is paramount for this.
Hand on Head – Another way your man can exert his control over you is to grab your hair and push your head down. This is not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you like feeling your man dominate you, then you’ll enjoy this.
Getting Tired? – If you find that your arms are getting tired from being in this position, then try doing it on the floor beside a bed or a sofa so that you can rest your head, shoulders and upper body on it and take the weight off your hands.
It’s Hot, But Not Intimate – While Doggy Style is a super hot sex position, it’s not particularly intimate. If you’re looking for something more intimate, then check out the Drill position or Spooning.

Sean’s Thoughts On The Doggy Style Position
I thoroughly enjoy Doggy Style. It certainly isn’t the most intimate lovemaking position you’ll ever have sex in, but it can be really hot, especially if I am holding onto my girl at the waist, shoulders or hair.
Orgasm Every Time. Easily. Here’s How...
I want to tell you about my friend Karen.
Karen came to me one day. She was hysterical.
She told me that her marriage was falling apart because she and her husband didn’t have satisfying sex.
Every time they were intimate, Karen was faking her orgasms. It turns out she couldn’t orgasm during sex.
In fact...
She never had an orgasm in her entire life. Not one!
This left her feeling embarrassed and ashamed.
Even worse...
She stopped wanting sex with her husband, slowly driving him away, and...
Almost destroying her marriage. Thankfully...
It turns out that there is a simple solution for women who struggle to orgasm, whether you are having sex or masturbating.
I shared the process with Karen.
After she followed the simple process, she could barely come to terms with how...
Quickly and dramatically her sex life changed.
We met up a few months later and...
She would not stop talking about it,
“I thought I was one of those women who couldn’t orgasm. I used to think I was ‘broken’ and ‘unfixable.’ This saved my sex life, and that saved my marriage.”
Even if you currently struggle to orgasm during sex or while masturbating, this process will also work for you.
And best of all, you don’t need to do anything weird or uncomfortable to start having the best orgasms and sex of your life.
why cant I have an orgasm when we are doing it doggy style? we have an amazing sex life but for some reason I cant orgasm
Hi Jan,
Everyone is built differently and orgasms from different types of stimulation, so it’s not something you should get too hung up about if you can’t orgasm in a certain position during sex…besides there are plenty of others you can try out.
Sean
How so you put your penis in from the back
Get her to help you guide it in with her hand.
my fav position is the turtle, a doggy style varaition. i always rub my clit and have the best orgasms ever because im having clitorial and vaginal orgasms at the same time. you could ask ur man to rub you too but im not shy w my husband and he likes to watch me help myself out.
Hi Sean . I don’t know why whenever my boyfriend and i doing it doggy style, i start to fart and it’s kind of embarrassing . Do u have any idea why is this happening? Thanks in advance
Hi Amy, it’s most likely due to the shape you’re making with your body. Additionally you may be using muscles that cause you to fart that you don’t normally use. It’s nothing to worry about and if your man is a supportive and open, then he won’t really care either.
Hi it been years now. I’m dating this guy and l don’t orgasim….. He have to suck my clito so l can orgasim and it kills me coz l think l have a serious problem.
Have you read our tips on how to orgasm easily during sex?
If you are talking about farting from your vagina then that’s called queefing and it’s perfectly normal in doggy position. It’s caused by air being forced inside you. You don’t see it in porn because porn doesn’t show what real sex is actually like.
When i have sex with my girl in doggy style, she experiences acute pain and says that it feels like something has been wrongly inserted. What might be the reason?
You could be penetrating too deeply, she could have a tight vagina or it could be another problem. If the pain is intense, then it may be best to talk to a doctor about it.
Sean
Hi, I had the same problem with years. Realised went my man is first inserting he needs to build up really really slowly and the uncomfortable feeling or like he was hitting something (which was sore after a minute) was actually a very sensual spot. Best O ever in the end. Also I put a large thick cushion under my knees so I was up higher. Good luck
hi Sean,after sex with my husband I normally feel abdominal pain what could be the cause?
Your man could be hitting your cervix and bruising it. If it persists then talk to your doctor.
Sean
When i have sex with my girl doing doggy, she likes it rough and hard, but my legs start to tense up what can i do to leviate or avoid this pain so i can go for longer without stopping and needing to stretch
Jamon, there are a bunch of variations you should try like Bulldog and even the Washing Machine position. You can find even more doggy variations here.
Hi Sean, I’m newly engaged and my fiancé has started to not enjoy sex with me cause he believes hes too small for me, when he told me this, I didn’t know what to do. But a friend of mine told me to go to this website and see if I could find something new to do in bed with him, thoughts?
I want to try doggy style, but I’m over weight and cannot seem to get into the right position. any tips on positions and how to bring it up to my man to try again?
Talk to him.
It hurts a lot when I attempt doggy style with my boyfriend.. He’s very big… And enjoys it from behind… What can I do? I’ve tried to relax.. And normally having wine eases my anxiety… But not from behind… Help please..
The most important thing you can do is talk to him and let him know that you find it painful. Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something’s wrong. Additionally, you should never feel compelled to do something that you don’t enjoy.
One method to prevent him from going too deep is to put your hand on his hip to push him back. You can also put it on your bum so that there is a small buffer.
Doggie….My husband legs are outside my legs are closed….I was so excited here that I had a climax….but I kicked my legs up and down and by accident the back of the heel of my right foot kicked my husband in his balls. Need less to say that ended our sex session. I did not realize this until he yelled and fell over on the bed holding his sack and balls. I felt terrible as I never realized that his balls were hanging down so low like that. He said it hurt like hell getting kicked in his sack with a hard on to. I made it up to him the next day…so ladies be careful not to hit your guys sack….I will not do this again!!!
OUCH! Your story made me laugh Anne!
I absolutely love doggystyle sex.I cum easier than any other position
My girlfriend always says she needs to pee during sex ? Does this mean she’s going to squirt ? She’s afraid its going to be actual pee. I need help
It could potentially be a sign that she’s about to squirt (it’s a classic sign). Of course, there’s also a chance that it could be pee too. The only way to find out is to just let go.
I’m late in replying but… It could also be that the position is putting pressure or friction on the opening of the urethra, or even the bladder. I’m prone to UTIs and I’m very sensitive in those parts, myself. Using the bathroom before and after sex, as well as consulting a doctor if other symptoms develop and persist, is what I’d recommend.
Suggest Anne’s husband wear a jock strap. This will pull his nuts up, and he can hand his
schlong over the top like Kilroy…
My husband and I love this position. His legs were on the inside. I liked to stimulate myself and when I was about to orgasm, I would reach up and massage his balls and we both would have an intense orgasm at the same time. This position was the last we would do after starting in other more intimate positions.
I haven’t tried this position but it seems enjoyable!
Hey Sean,
My husband and I love doggy style but, it hurts our knees too bad. (Even when on the bed) Is there anything out there that can help knee pain?
Try stretching beforehand and do some foam rolling on the muscles surrounding your knees to loosen them up. This should help a lot.
The doggy style always cause me to ejaculate faster. Help plx
One of my girlfriends could have almost continual orgasms with doggie style, here is how we did it. First of all getting the right penetration so that my penis was penetrating her but not painfully, then getting the right rhythm so that she would start to moan with pleasure. This was the thing that drove her over the top, my testicles would stimulate her clitoris from the rocking motion, once she got this effect it was just about to begin. Then I would change the tempo up and down a bit and try not to come, sometimes I would spank her lightly or slightly rim her anus with a wet finger. That was it she could come like 10 or 20 times or as long as I could last (I’m not kidding). Go for it!
I love this sex position but it hurts and I find myself farting tho it doesn’t smell I think it’s just bubbles that leave my Pussy making light sounds
Sounds like normal queefing. Nothing to be worried about
Air enters the vagina quite easily in this position and while it isn’t dangerous, I’ve found it really hurts! I always found doggy style often painful, but recently realised this was one of the reasons. Keeping your upper body higher than your pelvis might help a bit, whereas arching your back and raising your butt seem to also help me (I used to avoid it with the logic that that way the penetration wouldn’t be as deep, but it seems it’s better to experiment than to assume).
Hi Sean, whenever I try prison style. It seems I’m unable to penetrate my wife
I’m like 4ft 11in and my bf is like 5ft 9in so there is a height difference and we’ve tried to do it doggy style but it’s been difficult to achieve. Is there a way to do where he wont slip out constantly?
Use pillows to adjust your heights so that it’s easier to be aligned with each other 😉
Hey Sean I have a 5inches dick and my partner has a big but, is there a chance I’ll penetrate well
There’s only one way to find out 😉
This past Thursday04/04/2019my man and I had doggy style (turtle) sex. He was slapping my ass and I loved it. Then after approximately 10 minutes he came the I came, it was one of those orgasms that felt like someone was dragging their fingernails down your body again. He said “I came.” Like he wa Ms shocked that he came. I was confused ~ and afraid to ask him. This was my first vaginal orgasm ever.
My woman’s legs are so long that I can’t reach her vagina from behind.
I’m a girl and i’m chubby and i have long legs and i’m also taller than him and it seems he cant penetrate but he keeps wanting to doggy (me too!) but I’m not sure what to do or to align myself correctly, please help!
Try the turtle position
Get into doggy position at the end of your bed, have your man stand at end of bed to enter rather than him on his knees. Or, get onto your back to the very edge of your bed with your ass, then lie back, pull up your legs and hold your thighs. Sometimes depending on bed height a pillow under ass helps. Your man will be standing again, and having much easier time entering. I’m also a big woman and not so flexible, so this is a great position for that!
I have a problem keeping my back arched in this position. Any tips?
Keep trying!
I am 42 years with three kids. Anytime I have sex with my husband, I feel pain and a burning sensation under my left foot. After some days I developed pain under the same foot anytime I get of bed or even tried to walk.
.
Sounds like you should talk to your doctor
When me and my husband do doggy my tailbone keeps raising and hurts him and i seem to move without knowing so. Any thoughts on how to keep my tailbone outta the way and ways to help stay in position
Communicate and experiment. Get your man to manipulate you into slight variations of Doggy (that you enjoy too!) and figure out what variations stop your tailbone from hurting your man.
I’m not understanding how to do doggy style and my husband is upset with it
Sorry to hear that he is upset, but he shouldn’t be. Good sex is about communication and having fun, not about doing things the “right” or “wrong” way. Sounds like he needs to relax a bit.
she is a virgin, please what tips should i use to have sex with her? Note! (she is a virgin)
If there is a height difference between you and your partner, ask her to wear high heels in bedroom. My gf wears 4-6 inch heels for standing doggystyle and it’s amazing. We couldn’t do it otherwise.
Thanks for the tip Petar
I have loved prison style.it can help to reach far.
My husband really likes doggie position. I like it but not as much. The reason I don’t like as much is when my husband pushes to hard he bottoms out inside me. It can be somewhat uncomfortable.
Incorporate different positions, and use pillows to keep it in different angles. I bottom for a dominant older guy and he does this to me anally, but now I learned to handle it in a variety of ways to keep him in me all the time.
My husband always wants me to put his penis in my vagina when we are having sex doggie style. How do I do this without hurting him?
go slow and communication with each other if either of you is in pain
