Let’s be real. Doggy style isn’t just a sex position—it’s a lifestyle. It’s primal, powerful, wildly customizable, and yes, it’s got a name that makes even the most mature among us chuckle. Whether you’re a curious newbie, a seasoned pro, or someone who’s been doing doggy style so long your knees have a pension, this guide is here to take your rear entry game to the next level. And we’re doing it Popstar-style: with tips, honest insights, and a whole lot of love for every body and orientation.

Doggy style—aka rear entry sex, "from behind," or if you're feeling particularly Renaissance, "the ardha-uttana"—has been around since bodies first started bumping. From Mesopotamian carvings to Japanese shunga prints, the iconic hips-up pose has always held a special place in erotic art and culture.

Even during the prim-and-not-so-proper Victorian era, doctors quietly whispered about its procreation perks. Turns out, doggy style can help sperm get closer to the cervix—a little anatomical shortcut for the fertility-inclined. So yes, your favorite position might be medically advisable.

For the Receiving Partner:

• Deep Penetration: Doggy style is a top-tier sex position for deep penetration. That angle lets the penis, toy, or strap-on reach pleasure zones like the G-spot and A-spot that missionary often misses.

• More Control Over Stimulation: You can adjust the arch of your back or the width of your knees to change how it feels. And don’t sleep on adding toys or pressure to the clit—those little extras make a big difference.

• A Sense of Power: For some, being the visual centerpiece of doggy style feels empowering. There’s a reason mirrors and mood lighting are doggy's best friends.

For the Penetrating Partner:

• Visual Feast: Hips. Back. Shoulders. Booty. All on display. For many, this isn’t just a sex position—it’s a cinematic experience.

• Muscle Power: You get to use your core and leg strength rather than just thrusting with your lower back. That means more stamina and control.

• Prostate Access: If anal doggy style is on the menu, this position also allows consistent prostate stimulation—aka the P-spot jackpot.

Doggy style can get intense—in the best way. But don’t skip foreplay. Seriously, don’t.

• Foreplay is Foreplay : Kiss, tease, lick, grind. Get that arousal up and the lube flowing.

• Lube is Not Optional : Whether you’re doing vaginal or anal doggy style, lube is the bestie that makes everything better. A good water-based or silicone lube can help with glide, comfort, and sensation. Popstar Personal Lubricants are a great place to start.

• Protect Your Joints : Knees and wrists weren’t built for marathon thrusts on hardwood floors. Use cushions, pillows, or even a sex wedge to make things plush.

• Talk Dirty (Smartly) : Use agreed-upon cues. A backward push might mean “harder,” while a quick squeeze could mean “ease up.” Safe, sexy communication is everything.

Let’s cover the basics before we get into the kinkier territory.

1. Receiving Partner : On hands and knees, spine either neutral or arched. Knees shoulder-width apart.

2. Penetrating Partner : Kneel behind. One hand guides, the other supports. Enter slow and steady.

3. Thrusting : Let the hips do the work. No jackhammering—rhythm and breath matter more than speed.

4. Angle Game : Add a pillow under the receiving partner’s hips to change the angle and pressure. It can shift stimulation to hit the G-spot or prostate better.

Let’s spice it up:

• Puppy Pose : Lower onto forearms, keeping the booty high. Ideal for deeper penetration and less wrist fatigue.

• Flat Doggy : Receiver lies flat, legs together. Super snug and intense.

• Standing Doggy : Over a counter, couch, or bed. Great for quickies, though height mismatches may require a little MacGyvering.

• Lazy Doggy : On stomach, one leg drawn up. Low effort, high intimacy.

• Chair-Back Doggy : Bent over a sturdy chair. Great for roleplay or that “let’s do it now” vibe.

• Anal-Friendly Mod : Use a thicker pillow under hips and go sloooow. Anal doggy style isn’t a race—it’s a journey.

• Strap-On Switcheroo : The front partner wears the harness and grinds backward. Reversible pleasure FTW.

Add a little flair:

• Vibrators : External vibes on the clit, perineum, or testicles during doggy style = chef’s kiss.

• Butt Plugs : In vaginal doggy, a plug adds fullness. In anal doggy? Let’s just say things get tight in a good way.

• Harnesses : Positioning straps under hips can help with control and rhythm.

• Blindfolds & Restraints : Great for sensory play and power dynamics, if that’s your jam.

• Discomfort ? Add a pillow. Change the angle. Use more lube.
• Slipping out? Keep knees closer or aim downward.
• Too impersonal? Try mirrors, interlace fingers, or whisper sweet nothings.
• Pregnant? Second-trimester doggy style with gentle thrusts can work beautifully.
• Plus-size partners? Cushions and thigh straps create space and support.
• Mobility challenges? Try Lazy Doggy or use supportive props. There’s always a way.

It just might be. Doggy style can place semen closer to the cervix—useful if you’re trying to conceive. But it’s not a magic bullet. Timing (hello, ovulation) still reigns supreme. Also, if you’re using our Popstar Volume + Taste Supplement to maximize your loads, the geometry here might give those swimmers a running start.

Intimacy doesn’t need face-to-face. Try:

• Mirrors : Look into each other’s eyes.

• Verbal feedback : Share what feels amazing.

• Wrap arms or hands : Physical contact increases oxytocin and trust.

No matter your shape, size, or gender identity, there’s a version of doggy that’s right for you.

• Doggy Style for Plus Size Couples : Use firm pillows, supportive surfaces, and positioning straps to make space and reduce pressure.

• Trans and Non-Binary Bodies : Strap-ons, hollow dildos, and supportive props can make doggy style more affirming. Communication is key.

• Doggy Style During Pregnancy : Gentle thrusts, lots of pillows, and open feedback keep things sexy and safe.

Doggy style is a position that keeps giving, shifting with your mood, your body, and your connection with your partner(s). It’s built for flexibility (literally and figuratively), and with a little prep, plenty of lube, and some playful experimentation, it might just become your go-to.

And if you’re looking to go harder, longer, or make those orgasms extra unforgettable, check out Popstar Delay Spray or our Volume + Taste Supplement. Because the only thing better than doggy style—is doggy style with fireworks.

Now go grab the lube, fluff the pillows, and let the games begin.
