Trying a variety of sex positions can be a great way to explore the many pleasures of sex. (If you’re looking for ideas, the position cards from Christian Friendly Sex Positions are a great resource.)
Every position is unique in the way your anatomies fit together, differences in pressure and stimulation, how you and your husband experience the intimacy of the moment, and the new views available. When you add a wedge or shift your hips just a bit, you’ll learn even more.
Let’s Talk About Doggy Style
While many of us think of missionary style (husband on top, wife on bottom, face-to-face) as the “normal” way of having sex, doggy style is popular as well.
Doggy style is a position in which the wife gets on her hands and knees and the husband kneels and enters her vagina from behind. (Check out this safe-to-see diagram.)
Doggy style definitely has some benefits:
- It allows deeper penetration and can provide good stimulation of the g-spot.
- It allows his hands to reach around to stimulate her breasts or clitoris.
- She can reach her clitoris for stimulation.
- He gets a great view of the curvature of her body AND a view of his penis entering her vagina.
- Neither person needs to support the other’s weight.
- If you’re self-conscious about how you look during your orgasm, doggy style is a perfect position for letting loose since you won’t see each other’s faces.
- If you don’t use the position very often, it can feel quite erotic.
Doggy style has some drawbacks as well. Fortunately even these drawback can usually be addressed.
- The deeper penetration can be uncomfortable or painful for some women (in which case it’s time to experiment with wedges and shifting angles and such).
- It’s common to feel like something important is missing without eye contact. One solution is to place a standing mirror in front of you and enjoy both eye contact and an awesome visual of the two of you having sex.
So What’s the Problem?
Doggy style can be a great position to have in your sexual repertoire, so why ditch it? It isn’t the position itself I want to ditch; it’s the name.
Doggy style has a bad name.
Literally.
“Doggy style” sounds like two mutts mating in the back yard. Yes, it’s a position common to many animals, but doggy style just sounds blah.
Sex positions deserve names that sound magnificent, don’t you think?
So let’s ditch the name “doggy style” and replace it with something that sounds way more awesome:
Stallion style.
Stallions are magnificent, right? They’re powerful. They’re beautiful, as are the mares in front of the stallions.
“Stallion style” brings to mind thoroughbreds, not mutts.
So next time you want to switch positions from missionary or woman-on-top, turn to your husband and suggest you do it stallion style.
