Okay just thought I'd ask, but, what is it about doggie style? Why does it seem that many of us like it over all the other positions? Missionary is cool, cowgirl and reverse cowgirl are great too. Yet if you look at the surveys many women like it and so do men.
Gentlemen why do we love it, and Ladies why do you?


1. The depth
2. The places it hits
3. he can't grab my hips like that in any other position!!
4. I know this will sound weird, but the sound of our bodies hitting each other.
It is our original ancestral sex position. This is just a guess of mine: maybe doing it "doggy style" stirs some deep ancestral memory deep inside of us. But, the most obvious reason is that it feels really good.
Dlb: I can understand your point it, I do feel a calling to it in every episode. I've never really been one to consider my self animalistic but of all the positions this is the only position widely practiced through out humanity and the animal kingdom. Every four limbed creature (arms and legs) will do it. ( :) in the garden of eden did the animals copy adam and Eve? or did Adam say, "Eve I can't wait to show you this new position I saw the Rhino's doing? LOL)
You know, I remember the first times I tried doggie style the flood of emotions was so intense that it used to be my kryptonite, I couldn't do it. I would avoid it but could not resist the women who would say, "I wanna feel you deep inside me from behind" or something similar. I had to really really focus, and keep trying (porn stars are made not born) until I could master it.
But yes Rouge the sound of slapping skin (hips to ass) sounds great
I know this may sound weird for some of us but, does anyone feel like there is a sense of dominance and submission in this position?
There definitely is dominance and submission. Think about it biologically; in doggy, the female (or reciever) is completely exposed. Neck, organs, spine, there's no protection. They're at a complete disadvantage, and being submissive is in their best interests (not that they wouldn't be having fun, but I imagine some encounters would have been hostile).
This also ties in with why some guys can have a very hard time with mmf threesums and/or are very possessive, biologically guys don't want to share "their" women. It made the chance of their genes passing on less likely if their mate(for lack of a better word. I'm tired, leave me alone! :P) was with other guys.
It's funny, but when you look at sex, you see that we are still a very primal species.
its a position where you can take control, like if its angery sex like after a fight thats they way to bone. you can pull hair pull her throat and u can switch from ass to ussy or if your in the pussy u can finger her ass its not that big for me i would rather have her bent over the bed but its my opion
Ladies is there some pleasure in being in this submissive position? Does the position it self bring heighten excitement with any man or is better with your spouse or believed soul mate?
good points Joshg89 make up sex is great in this position.
Rogue, going back to the primal idea, if I increase the amount of skin to skin friction, for example, if my chest is on her back and my hands hugging her cupping her breast, there is a stronger connection and the heat is intense. Animals have more skin to skin friction in doggie style then we do. For example, the male dogs chest is resting on the female dogs back, the same with horses and cows. So for me the primal the position the greater the intensity. While of course if I keep the contact between my hands and her waist or hips and penis to vagina, I'm definitely in a more dominant position
Here's a thought guys, Why do we cross our hands over her Ass in this position, (right hand over left check) or one hand crossed over her Ass?
Some women find it degrading unless in a close relationship (I'll never understand this). As far as enjoying the submission, it's hard-wired into us. As much as we hate to admit it, the gender as a whole is submissive (some individuals within it aren't).
I think Rouge makes an excellent point about submission. This may make me sound naive or weak or something, but I find T's strength and power as a man a huge turn on. I think that's why I love his biceps so much. The amount of muscle and power in those arms. Even something as simple as bodily lifting me and moving me to a different place on the bed... :D
The other thing of submission for me, is giving up control. I spend all day, every day, so self-controlled, so prim and proper. I've always been very conscious of propriety, my whole life. That's another one of those things that's hard-wired into us, I think. The problem with that is that, sexually, it allows my brain to get in my way and things slow down. Not to mention, I'm always so self-controlled, I'd like to give it a rest and let someone else do the controlling for a change.
Int1103 I don't think it makes you sound weak at all in fact, I think our bodies were made for each other. This is from my own observance but I think our bodies as men are powerful and strong and structured (figuratively speaking) so that we can provide the support in a physical sense to the woman in our lives. Its really just as you have explained, at the end of the day when your finished leading throughout your day you can come home and rest in the strong arms of your man. While we as men, after a day of work dealing with the rigors of the day we want to come home to something warm soft not rough and crazy like the world of work is.
So Rouge (sorry I spelt your name wrong in the previous reply's :)) but, do you think this mean that some women may not like the position because intuitively they may feel dominated or even worse degraded? what do you mean you don't understand it, could you elaborate on that?
For some unknown reason, some women find doggie style degrading. I can't really elaborate as I don't understand why they feel that way. Then again there are cults out there that teach that anything past missionary is a sin, which I also don't understand. Le sigh.
Every woman I have talked to says Doggy Style is their favorite.

That is very strange Rouge. What would be degrading about "doggy style" and what cults teach that anything other than missionary is a sin?
As far as I have been able to determine "doggy" is the preferred position in most parts of the world.
It can be seen as 'wrong' because it is somewhat impersonal, there is no eye contact or face to face or close body contact. It is quite animalistic and primal, which suits lots of people but not others.
I really like it, but if the girl is tall or built like a model (long legs) it can be a bit difficult...
Not if she separates her knees further. It'll bring her body lower, and you won't have to compete with her thighs of massive length.
I think some females dont like it because guys have put their penis in the bum instead of in the vagina. i have heard of some guys apparently use that position for anal sex to try it
one female that i was getting to know didnt like doggie because of that reason, i never pushed that fact or asked again, i think we did do that position after we spoke about it.
its one thing i am always careful about with putting it in the wrong hole with sex
kneeling down with out spreading your knees in this position makes it difficult. I have found that some woman feel uncomfortable spreading their knees because it puts a lot of pressure on them to keep from slipping all the way out. But its nothing a few pillows can't handle.
As far as missing the vagina, well I've never missed in this position because I see the Ass hole and I know, "thats not the one lol lol"
"Wrong" is a heavy word... maybe "not preferred"???? IDK.
Yet, it is amazing to see how and what presuppositions guide us.

[/QUOTE]
I have to say the "wrong hole" is a load of crap. There is such a huge difference between the two that you will KNOW what you are doing, and so will she.
The bum is tighter, less lubed, and further up. In addition, if she doesn't want anal sex, there's no way short of raping her and ripping her bum open to have anal sex with her (NOT SUGGESTED). Only if she wants anal will you have anal, so I suggest you littleboys out there start to grow up and talk to your women about it.
Have you even HAD sex in doggie before!?
I am one of the women who feel degraded by it purely due to lack of contact. I feel used and dirty after this position, like my partner is only in it for the sex (stupid i know). For me sex is about showing love and in this position I think it has something to do with fear of not knowing what your partner feels by not being able to look into their eyes.
Also its being dominated I do not like it at all.
Doggie is great for me because it feels great, the view of her ass pounding into me and being able to grab and spank it, and the deep penetration. I like to reach around and grab her tits and play with them while we are pumping away. Or I can reach around and play with her clit and her bush if she hasn't shaved and gone bare. Even bare is nice to feel the nice soft skin as I rub on her clit. Watching in a mirror it is fun to see her tits swing with the pumping action. Just is one hot great position.
Oxfordfox: I understand your reasoning, let me know if I'm digging to deep, but is there a position where you enjoy it just for the sex and the wildness of it?
oxfordfox~i have a position if i may suggest...being that doggie does not give you the eye contact, if you like the deep penetration of it though, try missionary with your legs up over his shoulders, he can even put his hands on your thighs pushing them up and over your head..still eye contact and intense pleasure!! just a thought..one of my favs along with doggie!!!
I like this position and don't feel degraded, I feel like he can take control and play with my tits while fucking me.
I call it the best domestic a woman ever can be involved in. My favorite way to get my point across... TAKE THAT TAKE THAT
i like doggy cause it makes me feel dirty. like sexy dirty.
past girlfriend claimed to like it, but very rarely wanted to do it. I often got the "i'm to tired" when suggesting anything but missonary. I enjoy it. Both people can move around more and I can hold us close together, fondle her breasts or rub her clitoris. option 2 is keeping some distance apart so only the penatration can be felt.
I love the power I can put in my thrusts, she likes the way it looks in the mirror. I can also spank her and pull her hair. Also I can reach around and rub her clit which drives her nuts.
I've done it once, and I find it quite enjoyable. I find Cowgirl and all "top" positions really painful for some reason.
I like doggy style normal, jockey and turtle among the doggy variants. My hubby likes likes to see me in doogy form. It arouses him more. The Turtle is his favourite while doing doggy.
now cowgirl is like an inverted doggy style or so. its a hot view as well
Are you referring to cowgirl, or reverse cowgirl? I believe cowgirl would be inverted missionary, and reverse cowgirl would be inverted doggie.
how does doggie style turn into cowgirl? I know its a turn around of the person.
they should do a thread on standing up and the tricky ones which someone must have done or know of someone else
ok my take on it USE to be I hated it. It was degrading to me because it made me be submissive to him.. Now years later and in love with a wonderful man.. I still hate the submissive part.. but its kinda kinky now to let him make me submit and give it to him.. then I get even hot and bothered more and next thing you know... Im sooo wet.... playing and feeling his cock with my hands sliding in and out my pussy...hmmm I have to call him over now...:p
I always associate doggy style with being drunk, and lacking the coordination to do anything more complicated. It's quite a hard position to fuck up, so it can be good at the begining of a relationship when you're still getting used to each other. It's also really good for a quickie if you're wearing trousers and you can't be arsed taking them off then it's the logical postion.
It's inpersonal but sometimes that's a good thing cause you can just switch off and actually enjoy the sex without having to worry about what that facial expression your partner is making means...
Aside from what everyone has said about submission and degredation and it's simplicity, let's look at the functionality. It's AWESOME for hitting all kinds of great spots, offers deep penetration, clitoral stimulation from either giver or reciever, and there are several variations. Overall: A++
On a side note: Positions don't have to get more complex as you move on. Fundamental positions are great tools throughout the duration of your sex life. Can you see EEK giving up girl-on-top?
I simply do not enjoy it. Never has done anything for me.
"To each their own" applies too. I'm sure you have a "basic" position that is one of your favourite to use/modify. Doggy is that for me :D
here here Rogue... Here!!!! Here!!!! LOL
the sound of our bodies slamming into eachother is so fucking hot. i also love it because my clit gets so stimulated and its a such intense orgasm. i also love the way a man can really get in there and pull me by the hips to get deeper.
mmm i love doggie...its the only position ive ever had a g-spot orgasm from...i love the deep penetration but for some reason, deep penetration when im on my back, like with my legs over his shoulders hurts soooooooo bad :(...but i have always loved doggie oh it feels sooooooo good it makes me squirt :)
My wife likes doggie if she's 'warmed up" enough, but otherwise she say's it can be painful because of how deep I can get.
I have never had sex with a woman who didn't like doggey style. It is great for deep penetration. I am endowed and it feels wonderful to be deep enough to have my whole penis inside of her. The feeling of the stimulation on the head of my penis and as well as the base is wonderful. I have met many woman who liked having there hair pulled while in doggey style sex. Oh yes doggey style with her back arched and a slight tug of her beautiful hair. I enjoy all the basic postions each for different reasons.
