Doggy style

Also known as rear entryfrom behinddoggy-styleall fours

Doggy style is a rear-entry position where the receiving partner is on hands and knees and the other kneels behind — known for deeper angles and a hands-free view for playful touch.

The gist

A rear-entry classic that changes the angle noticeably and frees both partners' hands for roaming touch. Depth can build quickly, so it rewards a slow start and clear signals. Lowering onto the forearms or resting the chest on a pillow shifts the angle and takes pressure off the wrists and lower back.

Step by step

  1. The receiving partner kneels on hands and knees on a comfortable surface.

  2. The other partner kneels close behind and finds a gentle starting rhythm.

  3. Lower onto forearms or a pillow to adjust the angle and relieve the wrists.

  4. Build depth and pace gradually, following each other's cues.

Tips

  • Depth can increase fast here — start shallow and let the receiving partner set the pace.
  • A pillow under the chest or hips eases strain on the back and wrists.
