It is one of the most common positions in everyone's sex routine: doggystyle. If you want to switch from the classic missionary position to another position, it's easy to let your lover turn you around. But precisely because it's such a frequently practiced position, we don't always get out of it what we could. Doggystyle is much more than just getting on your hands and knees.

With these delightful tips, it becomes just a bit more intense

Hopefully, this tip is already known to you, but the mistake is quickly made: keep your knees together. This makes it much more pleasurable for both of you: it's just a bit tighter, and that often adds some extra sensation for both parties. If you find it difficult to maintain your balance, you can always lie on your side. In that variation, eye contact is also an option. If you generally crave eye contact, it's also intensely sexy to place a mirror in front of you. This way, you can not only see how both of you are enjoying, but it also has a voyeuristic element, as if you're watching your own porn film live.

The sex trend at the moment is shallowing. We've talked about it here before, it gives women a little extra kind of foreplay. The tension builds slowly until you really can't take it anymore and have to give in and finish it off steaming. Another exciting variation is to delay penetration completely and only stroke against the labia. Guaranteed you'll soon be asking for more. By the way, you can also lie flat on your stomach, which is much less exhausting for your knees and arms. What feels good in any position: also stimulating the clitoris during penetration. In doggystyle, that's just a bit more exciting because your lover can get in there extra well from behind. Just make sure to adjust a bit from time to time, because if you're overstimulated, it can actually become too intense and it's harder to reach a really deep orgasm.

And then something you can practice for the long term

Instead of a position like riding a horse, where you support yourself on your hands and knees, the trick is to arch your back as much as possible. And not a rounded back, but rather a hollow back. Keep your buttocks and legs in the same position, but instead of that 90-degree angle with your back, make sure there's a dip downwards. This takes some practice, and it's fun that you can enjoy this position more and more in the long term. You can start by supporting yourself on your elbows and forearms instead of your hands. The next step is to lean on your chest, and yes, your legs and buttocks still remain in the same position as in the ‘classic’ doggystyle. If you train the flexibility in your back well, you can try to move your chest a bit further back. The hollower the back, the better the G-spot is stimulated.
