Of all the possible topics for a sex blogger to try and cover in an interesting and original way, ‘fucking from behind’ doesn’t exactly feel like the most promising option. Whether they love it or loathe it (and I think it’s fair to say most people fall into the first of those boxes), pretty much everyone has an opinion on doggy sex, or at the very least a working idea of what it involves. What possible value could there be in churning out 2,500 words on what is literally one of the most popular sex positions in the world?
Well apparently that’s just my cross to bear. And obviously Twitter is 100% to blame. A few days ago, I (very approvingly) shared this photo of a variation on what I’ll refer to in this post as ‘regular doggy’. As I said at the time, ‘collapsed doggy’ – where the person getting penetrated sinks down from hands and knees to a largely prone position, while the person doing the penetrating straddles their partner’s ass and moves forward till their arms are either side of their partner’s chest or shoulders – is not only the best way to have PIV sex from behind, it’s one of the best ways to fuck full stop. I followed up what I thought was a relatively uncontroversial opinion with an offhand comment about the ’17 different reasons’ why that was true.
And then someone asked me to list them.
