11 Ways to Make Doggy Style Even SEXIER

We like to think of doggy style as the original bad girl sex position. There's something a little wild, naughty, and titillating about it that just amps up the passion and makes you lust for more. Plus, it feels freaking amazing.   

"You can get the deepest penetration possible in this position, and you can also reach the G-spot," says Ava Cadell, Ph.D., author of Neurolovology. So if you're already a fan of this position, get ready to make it even more memorable. Here are 11 super-easy tweaks to raise the stakes: 

Get Vertical 
The classic doggy style set-up—kneeling on all fours—can feel great for a while, but eventually it may strain your body. "A lot of women complain that they get sore knees, or that it hurts their back or their neck," says Cadell. Fix that by getting off your knees and on your feet. Stand up and lean forward slightly against a wall, or bend over onto a table or a desk.  

Use Pillows   
Another surefire fix for rug burn on your knees: Prop yourself up with pillows, giving yourself a cushy foundation to rest on. Or lay completely flat on the bed and place a few pillows underneath your waist. This will create a great angle for him to enter you from behind, says Sadie Allison, Ph.D., author of The Mystery of the Undercover Clitoris. 

Get Out of the Bedroom
The best part about doggy style is that it doesn't require a bed—you can have sex all over the house. Try it in the shower, standing on a staircase while holding onto the bannister, or leaning over the kitchen counter. "My favorite is bending over a dryer that's on the spin cycle, so it's like a giant vibrator," says Cadell.

Skip the Strip
For a take-me-right-now kind of romp, pull up your dress or skirt and push aside your underwear, says Cadell. We promise, every time you wear this outfit, you'll have very fond memories.  

Give Yourself a Hand
Using your fingers or a vibrator, stimulate your clitoris as your partner thrusts for a climax that's twice as powerful. In fact, this is one of the top ways to increase your orgasm chances during doggy style, says Allison. 

Bring in the Nipples
If you like breast stimulation, doggy style is the perfect position to incorporate them, says Cadell. Grab your partner's hands and place them on your breasts. Then, by keeping your hands over his, you can show him exactly how you want him to fondle you. Think of this as naughty show and tell. 

Turn Up the Volume
During doggy style, "a lot of women feel more uninhibited because the guy can't see her face," explains Cadell. So let it go: Moan, grunt, talk dirty, and do all the things that you may be too shy to do in missionary position.  

Get a View 
Position yourself in front of a mirror so you and your partner can sneak a peak at each other from another angle, says Allison. And don't be surprised if it inspires you to put on a show. Toss your hair, arch your back a little more, and catch his eyes for a sultry look.

Go Out of Bounds 
If you're into it, this is the easiest position to switch from vaginal sex to backdoor play, says Cadell. Just make sure to switch the condom to avoid infection, and if it's your first time, be sure to use plenty of lube and goslow.  

Make it Sensual
Who says doggy style has to be rough all the time? Make it a little more romantic by opting for a side-to-side position—like spooning—or getting into position in the bathtub, suggests Cadell. 

Take Control 
Though it sometimes seems like your partner is calling the shots in this position, there's plenty you can do to take the reins. Arching your back more or less will let you control the depth (arching less won't let him go as deep), says Alison. Or you can reach behind and grab his hips to help control the speed of his thrusts.  

some Sex Positions Every Couple Should Try

Right now, off the top of your head, name every sex position you know. We'll wait. You probably listed the usual suspects—missionary, cowgirl, spooning, doggy. You can do better. Not just because it'll give her better orgasms, but for your own orgasms as well. 

We have a few suggestions. Well, more than a few—45, to be exact—ways to make sex better.

That number probably sounds intimidating. You have your own sex position playbook (and you may be surprised by What Your Favorite Sex Position Says About You.) And maybe you're not, well, equipped for every position (be sure to read up on the Best Sex Positions for Every Penis Size). We're not saying you have to try all 45. Not in the same night, anyway. (Unless the mood strikes you. In which case, God speed!) Just add these moves to your sex position playbook, so you're ready when the time comes.

The Cat

a.k.a. Coital Alignment Technique

Benefits: Strong clitoral stimulation. In one study in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, women who were unable to have an orgasm in the missionary position reported a 56 percent increase in orgasm frequency using the coital alignment technique.

The CAT is just like the missionary except that your body is farther up and to one side. Instead of being chest to chest, your chest is near her shoulders. Have her bend her legs about 45 degrees to tilt her hips up. This causes the base of your shaft to maintain constant contact with her clitoris.

Now try this: Ask her to straighten her legs. Push your pelvis down a few inches while she pushes up.

Hot Tip — His

Instead of thrusting up and down, rock forward and back to, hopefully, provide enough stimulation for her to orgasm. Also try grinding your pelvis in a circular motion. Other studies suggest even greater success, with up to 73 percent of women achieving orgasm with CAT.

Waterfall

a.k.a. Head Rush

Benefits: The blood will rush to your other head, too.

Move to the edge of the bed and lie back with your head and shoulders on the floor as she straddles you. The blood will rush to your head creating mind-blowing sensations upon climax.

The Hot Seat

a.k.a. The Love Seat, The Man Chair

Benefits: Good G-spot stimulation.

Sit on the edge of the bed or on a chair with your feet on the floor. She turns away and backs up onto you, sitting between your legs. She can ride back and forth by pushing off the chair arms or pressing up with her feet. She can control the angle of entry by arching her back and pressing her buttocks into your groin. While doggy-style is about your dominance, The Hot Seat puts her in the driver's seat.

Now try this: She can reach under and stimulate the base of your penis, scrotum, and perineum. Meanwhile, you can reach around and stimulate her nipples.

Hot Tip — His

The best ways to help her get interested in sex when you can tell it's the farthest thing from her mind: Draw her a bubble bath, give her a massage, wrestle.

Gift Wrapped

a.k.a. The Horny Mantis 

Benefits: Relaxing position with deeper penetration and increased intimacy. 

Both of you lie on your sides facing one another. She bends and spreads her legs, and angles her vagina toward you. You lift your legs between hers to enter while she wraps her legs around your back.

Now try this: She can use her legs and feet to pull you close during thrusts for deeper penetration.
