8 ways to make doggy style less vanilla

Ever wondered how you can make the simple sex position doggy style even more thrilling? We have eight tips to take the kink up a notch!

Some straightforward tweaks can take doggy style from a more vanilla sex position to one that enters new territory. First of all, what exactly is doggy style? Doggy style involves one partner getting on all fours, while the other gets on their knees and enters from behind, essentially mimicking the position of dogs.


Whether you already love doggy style or want to fall in love with it even more, here are eight tips to turn up the heat and make it a more pleasurable position.


1. Warm yourself (and your partner) up


Doggy style is one of the most intense positions for the partner being entered, thus using lube beforehand can make the position a lot more enjoyable.


If you don't have any lube to hand, warm up with around 20 minutes of foreplay. From kissing to touching each other's various erogenous zones.


2. Go vertical or horizontal


If being on all fours hurts, try doing it against a wall or lean over a table or desk. It's still doggy style, just in a way that won't harm your knees, neck or back.


Another option is to lie flat on your stomach, with or without a pillow under your pelvis (but definitely one under your face, for comfort). Not only will this tweak feel more comfortable, but it creates a snug fit that might make your partner's penis or dildo feel even bigger.


3. Throw in a pillow


Using a pillow is the simplest way to ensure more pleasure and comfort. Ensure the pillows are firm or use a wedge pillow, as this will help keep you propped up.


Place the pillow under your stomach to increase external pressure on the abdomen and pelvis.


4. Add in some nipple play


Nipple play is the easiest to do in the doggy style position, so if you like breast stimulation, doggy is right up your street.


The penetrating partner can easily hold and touch the receiving partner's breasts. For a constant pressure, why not try nipple clamps? Taking off the clamps just before orgasm will cause a swoosh of your blood rushing back to the nipples and will feel amazing - make sure you take them off with ease.


 5. Bring in a mirror


Adding a mirror in front of you and your partner is a sure way to up the arousal, as you can take a sneak peek at the action whenever your heart desires.


It might even inspire you to put on a show!


6. Try an unconventional prop


Grab a yoga strap, a long silk tie, or a similar item, and wrap it around your waist. It will help with pelvic pressure (identical to using pillows).


You can also add some pseudo bondage to the mix.


7. Add in some clitoral stimulation


Use your fingers to stimulate your clitoris as your partner thrusts, for a doubly powerful, blended climax. It is, by far, one of the primo ways to increase your chances of orgasm during doggy.


Not into the idea of using your hands? No problem—you can also use your favourite vibrator to stimulate your clit. And unlike, say, the missionary sex position where you have to pick an itty bitty vibe that'll fit between your bodies, in doggy style, you can take advantage of the position and use a bigger vibrator, like a wand vibe.


8. Elevate with anal beads


Doggy style is the easiest position to switch from vaginal sex to anal sex, and to bring in the use of anal beads.


Butt plugs fit snugly and stay in place, creating a pleasurable pressure. But it actually isn't the anal canal that's dense with nerve endings—it's the anal opening. After the initial push-in, butt plugs don't actually stimulate those nerves unless they vibrate. Still, anal beads keep the stimulation going because they are designed to be inserted and removed over and over.
