Doggy Delight: The Position Of The Week

 

Ah, Doggy Delight. Just saying the name probably paints a vivid picture in your mind—and let’s be honest, it’s a position that’s earned its place in the sexual hall of fame. Known for its deep penetration, thrilling angles, and spicy visuals, it’s one of those go-to moves that can range from steamy and passionate to downright wild.

But here’s the thing: Doggy Delight isn’t just about animalistic energy and lustful abandon (though those are definitely perks). It’s also an incredibly versatile position that can cater to so many moods—sensual, dominant, playful, or experimental. So, whether you’re a long-term couple looking to spice things up or new lovers exploring your chemistry, this classic deserves more credit than it often gets.

Why We All Love a Bit of Doggy Delight

Let’s start with the obvious: the view. For the penetrating partner, Doggy Delight offers one of the most visually stimulating angles. There’s something undeniably sexy about seeing your partner stretched out in front of you, back arched, hips tilted perfectly—it’s basically the cover of every erotic novel ever written.

But visuals aside, the physical perks are just as appealing. This position allows for deeper penetration, which means it’s excellent for hitting those magic spots, whether that’s the G-spot or the P-spot. And because the angle is so flexible, you can experiment with slight adjustments to change the sensations entirely.

I’ll admit, the first time I tried this position, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’d heard all the hype, but I wasn’t sure if it was going to live up to it. Spoiler: It did. But here’s what surprised me most—it wasn’t just the physical pleasure, but how it created this interesting dynamic between us. It was playful, a little adventurous, and honestly, a lot of fun.

Comfort is Key—And Often Overlooked

Now, let’s talk about something people rarely mention when discussing Doggy Delight: comfort. If one of you is kneeling on a hard floor or the other’s wrists are buckling under pressure, it’s going to be hard to focus on the sexy stuff.

Here’s a little tip from experience: pillows are your best friend. If you’re on a bed, prop one under the receiving partner’s hips to lift them slightly. If you’re on the floor, invest in a thick blanket or cushion to protect knees and wrists. Little tweaks like this can make all the difference in how long you both stay comfortable—and trust me, you’ll want to linger in this position for as long as possible.

And don’t forget about hand placement. The penetrating partner can rest their hands on the receiving partner’s hips, back, or even shoulders. But hey, a gentle pull on the hips? Chef’s kiss.

Let’s Talk About Clitoral Stimulation

One of the best things about Doggy Delight is that it frees up your hands. And you know what that means? Extra stimulation. For the receiving partner, this is prime time to reach down and give yourself a little extra love—or invite your partner to do it for you.

Toys also come into play beautifully here. A small bullet vibrator against the clitoris can elevate the experience to fireworks finale levels. And if you’re feeling extra adventurous, butt plugs or anal beads can add a new dimension of pleasure.

One thing I’ll say from personal experience: don’t be afraid to pause and adjust. Sometimes, one slight shift in angle or hand placement can take things from good to oh-my-god-don’t-stop.

Communication Makes Everything Better

Here’s the unsexy truth about sexy positions: communication is everything. If something feels uncomfortable, say it. If something feels really good, say that too. Positions like Doggy Delight are all about exploration, and exploration works best when both of you are in sync.

It doesn’t have to be a whole TED Talk in the middle of things, either. Simple cues like “a little slower” or “right there” go a long way. And if eye contact is something you miss in this position, a well-placed mirror can do wonders. Not only does it let you see each other’s faces, but it adds a little visual thrill to the mix too.

Make It Yours

One of the best things about Doggy Delight is how adaptable it is. You can stay on all fours, lean over a pillow, or even transition into a standing variation where one partner leans forward against a table or wall. Each tweak offers a slightly different sensation, and half the fun is figuring out which one you both like best.

And let’s not forget about the mood you set. Soft lighting, a sensual playlist, or even a little role-play can transform Doggy Delight from a fun physical position into a deeply intimate experience.

Final Thoughts: Give Yourself Permission to Enjoy It

There’s a reason Doggy Delight has been a favourite for centuries (yes, centuries—people have been figuring this out for a long time). It’s exciting, versatile, and just downright sexy. But the real magic happens when you let yourself relax into it.

This position isn’t about ticking boxes or trying to recreate something you saw in a movie—it’s about finding what feels good for you. So whether you’re trying it for the first time or it’s already one of your favourites, approach it with curiosity, openness, and a sense of play.

At the end of the day, the best sex positions aren’t the ones that look the most impressive—they’re the ones that leave you both smiling, breathless, and maybe just a little bit weak in the knees.
