Doggy style is rear-entry sex with the receiving partner on hands and knees. The angle often runs deep. Hands on hips can feel grounding or like being steered; ask which. A lowered chest and a pillow under the hips can spare wrists and change where the shaft lands.

The position is popular and it is also easy to go harder than the receiving body wanted. Depth that felt fine in missionary can knock the cervix or feel like too much in the rectum. Short strokes first. Looking back over a shoulder is a useful way to keep faces in the conversation.

Clitoral reach is awkward for the receiving partner unless a hand or a toy helps. That help is allowed. The aesthetic of the position does not ban extra touch.

Knees like padding. A folded blanket beats bravado on a hard floor.
