Doggy Style Variations and Techniques
Table of contents
There's a reason the doggy style sex position is so classic. According to April Maria, a sex and relationship educator, coach, and clinical sex therapist, the doggy style is so popular because its angle allows for more precise stimulation.vaginalupper wallPoint GIt also allows for deeper insertion.
The doggy style position is also very flexible, and you can adjust it to your own preferences. The basic structure of the classic doggy style is that the receiver is on all fours and the penetrator enters from behind, but with a little creativity, you can adjust it entirely to your liking. "It's not just about force and speed, but about finding the right angle, rhythm, and connection," Maria says. "Try arching your back, supporting your knees with pillows, or try the spoon position to create a slower, more intimate atmosphere."

If you enjoy sex toys, the doggy style is also a good position to explore. Dr. Jess O'Reilly, a sex and relationship expert at Lovehoney, suggests starting with a penile ring or wearable ring (such as the We-Vibe Pivot or Romp Juke). "They easily integrate into any sex routine without requiring any major changes." You can also try suction cup vibrators, couples vibrators (such as the We-Vibe Chorus), anal toys, or almost any type of vibrator.
For those who dislike eye contact during sex, the paparazzi approach is also a good option. "Some people feel less shy and more focused on their physical sensations when they're not being watched," says Fleshy's resident sexologist. Suzannah Weiss "Some people with neurotic diversity prefer this position because they find eye contact oppressive or distracting. Others prefer to fantasize or think about anything that will bring them to orgasm during sex, without having to force their attention to their partner."

In any case, the paparazzi position works for almost any type of sex, mood, and speed—the key to success is open communication with your partner and understanding how to adjust it to your own needs. Once you've done that, consider these 10 variations to make this classic position even more exciting.
1. Classic paparazzi style
The recipient is on all fours, and the inserter kneels behind to penetrate. "Use a pillow for support. This not only allows you to experience different sensations from different angles, but it also makes it more comfortable for both of you," O'Reilly says. Using a penile ring allows both partners to experience deep, full vibrations, which is even more effective. (Unfortunately, these vibrations don't work well with wearable dildos. Try a wearable dildo that can be inserted into the vagina.)

2. Assistance dogs
Use an oversized sex wedge (or better yet, a wedge with a sex toy holder) to maintain the overall angle. The receiver covers themselves with the wedge and arches their hips. The giver lies on top to enter, or, for a more powerful penetration, can squat/squat. If you don't have a wedge/sex toy combination, you can also place a vibrator on a pile of very sturdy pillows.

3. Sleeping dog
Experience deep penetration in a doggy-style position, as well as an intimate side-lying embrace. It's essentially a doggy style, but done on your side, like when you fall onto the bed while doing doggy style. Alternatively, to avoid falling, try the spoon position, but the recipient curls up their legs and leans forward for more targeted penetration. Use hands or toys to enhance the experience.

4. Bulldog Style
The Bulldog pose is a more muscular version of the Doggy pose, allowing you to experience pure animalistic elements. The recipient is on all fours, supporting their body with their forearms, arching their back so that their hips are off the ground. The giver enters from behind, standing or crouching, grasping the recipient's hips for support. The giver has complete control, making it a good choice for domination/submission games.

5. Dog walking style
Try a modified unicycle position for a more feasible way to achieve the same depth of penetration. Instead of using their arms for balance, the recipient rests their upper body on a bed or table. The sadist stands behind, lifting the recipient's legs high while thrusting with their penis or a wearable dildo. Alternatively, to ease the sadist's burden, the recipient can move onto the bed, resting their buttocks on the mattress (or perhaps a reclining vibrator).

6. Downward-Facing Dog Pose
If you don't want to be too active, try the downward-facing dog position, which Weiss recommends, especially for when you're feeling lazy. Just lie face down—but you might need to slightly raise your buttocks or place a pillow under your hips or abdomen. If you're too lazy to rub your clitoris (we know), you can use a vibrator. "You can put a toy under you and rub it. Couple toys like the We-Vibe Sync are great because they can be inserted into your vagina so they won't shift. Toys specifically designed for rubbing are also perfect for this position."

7. Crouching paparazzi style
Lie face down on the bed or sofa and press down firmly. "This allows for deeper penetration while also keeping you stable. Because your partner is standing, they can penetrate at a more downward angle. So if you like doggy style, like downward penetration, you might like this variation," Weiss says. This also applies to anal sex—use lubricant in any case.

8. Dog-print staircase
Feeling brave? "This position is more advanced and bolder," Weiss says. The recipient kneels at the bottom of the stairs, knees on the ground, hands on the steps. The giver kneels behind and enters. "It's a fun way to try different insertion angles; if you like adventure, try moving your knees onto the steps (but be careful), or spread your legs a bit wider to experience different sensations. You can put a pillow or blanket under your knees, as floors and steps aren't as soft as a bed."
9. Slow-motion dog pose
If the doggy style feels a bit cold or not intimate enough, slow down. Long, deliberate thrusts, combined with hip massages and gentle clitoral caresses, will make you feel more intimate, like a loving human couple, rather than a pair of canines fighting in an alley.

10. Tight Dog Pose
If you want a tighter feeling, have your partner extend their legs over yours, then keep your legs close together. O'Reilly recommends using a clitoral vibrator, such as the Womanizer Premium II. "It delivers a unique sensation, which I call a combination of sucking, vibration, and pulsation. It's a powerful orgasm-generating force on its own, but when combined with doggy style, it creates an even more intense orgasm," O'Reilly says.
