6 Sex Positions From Behind That Give Doggy a Major Upgrade
Whether you want to take it slow or rough it up, see why sex from behind is one of *the* most versatile ways to do it.
Having sex from behind is a gloriously adaptable way to match whatever vibe you and your partner are feeling that day. Animalistic doggy-style positions? Check. Intimate spooning positions? Yep. Sex from behind also works for car sex, shower sex, reverse-cowgirl, anal, pegging…you get the idea.
Apart from its incredible shape-shifting abilities to match your every mood, sex from behind has all kinds of bonus benefits. “Hands aren’t necessarily needed so they can be utilized elsewhere, such as stimulating the clitoris or shaft,” says sexual intimacy expert Rebecca Alvarez Story CEO and cofounder of BLOOMI. This also means you can bust out the toys. Butt plugs, vibrators, vibrating butt plugs—pretty much anything can work here.
Another pro? Backing that ass onto a penis or strap-on gives you options. “It allows for experimentation with a wide variety of positions and new entry points,” says Alvarez Story. “It not only provides a great angle for internal stimulation, but it also lets the giver provide deeper levels of penetration.”
Whatever butt-centric position you array yourselves into, a sex pillow can make a huge difference. “Not only will this add a little extra cushioning, it will also give a better position for deeper penetration,” says Alvarez Story. “Liberator Pillows are great for this, and they can be taken anywhere if traveling!” (And if your sex pillow fund is low, go ahead and use a couple of regular old pillows.)
Now that we’ve prepped you on all things sex from behind, go forth and conquer the following position recs.
Spooning FTW
“The beauty of the spooning position is that both parties can feel super close to each other,” says Alvarez Story. “To make the position even more intimate, the giver can lean in closer, while also kissing or nibbling the receiver.” The receiver can use their free hands for added clit stimulation via hand or vibe.

The Hot Seat
Control the movement and depth of penetration by having the penis-haver or strap-on wearer sit on a chair or a bed. “The other backs onto their lap and rides them when they are seated,” says Alvarez Story. “This position is great because it doesn’t have to be limited to just the bedroom. It can be on a counter, shower shelf, chair, anywhere!”

Lazy Doggy
“We all know and love doggy-style, but sometimes time is of the essence or the receiver is feeling a bit more on the relaxed side,” says Alverez Story. This, my friend, is the time for Lazy Doggy. The receiver lies flat, facedown but with their hips raised with a pillow. (If that pillow has a vibe propped upon it, even better. There are even special pillows for just that!) “This position allows for deeper penetration and is great for reaching all the internal hot spots.”

Reverse-Cowgirl
Reverse-cowgirl is great at home, but for an added thrill, take it on the road for some edgy car sex. “A riding position like reverse-cowgirl can provide great penetration depth control for the rider,” says AASECT-certified sex therapist and relationship therapist DuEwa “Kaya” Spicer, MSW, LCSW, CCATP, CST. “Make use of the seats and car door handles.”
The Tight Squeeze
For a tighter feel in doggy, the receiver squeezes their legs tightly together while the penetrator presses their legs in from each side. A strong finger vibe makes it even better.
