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
The receiving partner kneels on hands and knees on a comfortable surface.
The other partner kneels close behind and finds a gentle starting rhythm.
Lower onto forearms or a pillow to adjust the angle and relieve the wrists.
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.

Prone is a rear-facing position where the receiving partner lies flat on their front and the other lies over them — a lower-effort, full-body-contact variation on rear entry.
Spooning
Spooning is a side-lying, rear-facing position where both partners lie on their sides nestled together — one of the gentlest, coziest, and most relaxed options.
