Four on the Floor
The ins and outs of doggy-style sex
By Sarah Fielding
Doggy style is a real crowd pleaser. It's not just the Discovery Channel-style animal magnetism that appeals with this position, but men and women love the freedom it offers, both of movement and imagination. This four-on-the-floor position is a winner, hands down.
What is It?
Doggy style, or rear-entry sex, is a sexual position in which the female is penetrated from behind. The usual configuration is with both partners kneeling on a solid surface like the bed or floor, though good results can also be achieved with a partner being penetrated resting her upper body on the bed and her lower body off the bed.
But you don't have to take things lying down. Standing positions can also deliver some high-impact results, although these maneuvers require a lot more leg strength than a horizontal or kneeling position.
Standing rear-entry positions allow the partner being penetrated to bend forward at the waist; she can spread her legs to accommodate height differences, or use a wall or piece of furniture for added support.
Why Women Love It
Sex from behind frees the woman to indulge in the kinds of fantasies face-to-face positions sometimes inhibit.
Doggy-style positions, whether lying flat, on all fours, standing or leaning, allow women to let it all hang out, so to speak. Women who are conscious of belly bulges or less-than-pert breasts relish the fact that these parts of their bodies are not on display, allowing them to concentrate on where the pleasure's really at.
Acclaimed sexual educator Shere Hite once reported that 70 percent of women do not achieve orgasm from penetration alone; some would say that number is even higher. The great news is that rear-entry positions provide a delicious opportunity for clitoral stimulation via the deft touch of a dexterous partner, the incorporation of a sex toy or through some good, old-fashioned self-stimulation.
Breasts too can be lavished with attention, and many women with concerns over the size and shape of their breasts love doggy style.
Bonus Points
Stimulating the front wall of the vagina can result in the so-called G-spot orgasm; this spot is easier to stimulate through rear-entry positions.
