When you think of sex positions from behind , you may scratch your head at how backward penetration could stretch far beyond classic doggy style. As an avid fan of the down-on-all-fours technique, I questioned how you could possibly switch up reach-from-behind penetration for the better. I quickly realized I was overthinking it. Hell, in some renditions, you can even bring in props for added pleasure. The more research I conduct on from-behind play, the more I realize I have tested many of these delightful iterations in my own life. Ahead, 10 sex positions from behind that might just make you rethink your go-to. You can thank me later.

Doggy style is a sex position in which a person bends over, crouches on all fours usually on hands and knees , or lies on their abdomen, for sexual intercourse , other forms of sexual penetration or other sexual activity. Doggy style is a form of a rear-entry position , others being with the receiving partner lying on the side in the spoons sex position [1] or the reverse cowgirl sex position. Non-penetrative sex in this position may also be regarded as doggy style. Although it is not the most commonly used sex position, it is regarded as the favoured position by men, while the reverse cowgirl position is favoured by women. Either partner may be the dominant partner or the submissive partner.

The best part about sex positions is that there are so many positions from which to choose. If you're creative enough, you could probably go every day of the week, for a year, without repeating a new sex position. Of course some of the most daring sex positions might result in a sex-related injury or two, but when it's in the name of good sex and a proper orgasm, then who's going to complain?
