The downward dog is an amazing variation of the classic doggy style. It’s pretty similar except for the fact that instead of being on her knees, the woman lies face down on the bed, with her knees slightly bent and her hips raised with a pillow under her abs to give a more acute angle to her hips. Then the guy enters her from behind, which allows the deeper penetration. It’s important to keep in mind that a man should use shallower thrusts instead of deeper ones.

Pros: It’s a different sort of penetration from traditional missionary and allows the penis to hit the G-spot better, which is supposed to be located somewhere along the front vaginal wall. Also if a woman is bent on her knees, it also allows space for clitoral stimulation with the hand. During pregnancies, this style is more comfortable for the female partner because there’s no weight on the belly. This style is often associated with rough sex and quite popular with the ladies who even in this egalitarian age want a man’s man from time to time.

Cons: The position is less personal because there’s no eye contact. Also many women aren’t comfortable because it leaves them in a slightly vulnerable position. The degree and angle of penetration can hurt for some people.
