When most couples want to try sex from behind, they leap straight to the classic doggy style. The position can feel animalistic, sweet, or rough-and-tough, so whatever kind of love-making session you’re looking for, you can find it. Plus, it’s extremely stimulating for both partners.
However, doggy style isn’t necessarily the end-all-be-all of sex from behind. Many couples miss out on a variety of other positions simply because doggy style seems like the most popular and simple method to achieve deep penetration.
Today, we want to dive into some of the more creative positions in which the man is behind the woman. These moves are perfect for when you want sex that’s intense and fast, and you might be surprised by how much more exciting they can be than doggystyle.

Spooning
The beauty of the spooning position is that both parties can feel super close to each other. To make the position even more intimate, your partner can hold you close, while kissing your neck or massaging your breasts. You can also use your free hands for added clit stimulation via hand or vibe.
-
Prone Bone
In the prone bone position, you lay flat on your belly while your partner lays on top, using his arms on the surface surrounding you to prop himself up.
To control the depth of penetration, you can adjust your leg position – when your legs are tightly closed, slightly open, or wide open. The angle is perfect to hit the G-Spot and can feel super satisfying.
You may not be able to look into each others eyes, but whispering sweet nothings and neck kisses can be a real turn-on.

Lazy Doggy
We all know and love doggy-style, but sometimes we’re feeling a bit more on the relaxed side. This, my friend, is the time for Lazy Doggy. You lie flat, facedown but with your hips raised with a pillow. This position allows for deeper penetration and is great for reaching all the internal hot spots.
-
Reverse Cowgirl
In the standard cowgirl sex position, your partner lies flat on the bed while you sit on his lap and ride like a cowgirl.
In the reverse cowgirl sex position, it’s the same, except you’re turned around and facing his feet and not his head. (Hence the “reverse” part.)

Rear Admiral
Here’s another way to feel maximum pressure and penetration without having to put in loads of stretching beforehand. Like the sea horse, start by bending over the arm of a chair or couch. This time, however, have your partner straddle your legs, bend your knees, and hold your feet up behind their thighs. The added feet-off-the-ground maneuver will put more pressure on your abdomen, which will help edge your penetration source towards your front wall. In other words, get ready to climax.

The Dragon
Lay on your stomach with your hands near your head and spread your legs slightly. A pillow under your hips will put everything at just the right angle.
Next, have your partner straddle your lower thigh and enter you. Instead of fast from-behind thrusting they should use a circular, swirling motion.
-
Hot Seat
Control the movement and depth of penetration by having your partner sit on a chair or a bed. Backs onto their lap and ride him when he’s seated. 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!
-
Stand and Deliver
In this classic position, you stand and bend at the waist so your partner can enter you from behind.
If you have good balance and you’re interested in power play, your partner can hold your wrists behind your back, like you’re being handcuffed.
This position screams “gotta have you now,” heat-of-the-moment passion, and the angle offers even deeper penetration. Plus, the bent-over position, gives your lover a good look at your back, hips, neck, and more. The steaminess of this sight can’t be overstated.
-
The Bull
For this sexy position from the Kamasutra, the man sits with his legs outstretched. You sit on his lap facing away, and lean forward, grasping his thighs or ankles for balance.
Basically, this is an advanced version of reverse cowgirl, and really gives your man some nice visuals.
-
Leapfrog
The receiving partner starts on their hands and knees, but then drops their arms and head to rest on the best while keeping hips raised. Next, the penetrating partner can enter from behind while on their knees.
Why it’s hot: This position allows for some super deep penetration—while also giving the receiving partner a chance to rest a bit, says Parks. Best, everyone’s hands are totally free to give other erogenous zones a little extra lovin’.
-
Corkscrew
This is a missionary variation, but with a twist. Lay on your back, but twist your legs over to one side in a fetal position. Your partner kneels and enters you as they would in missionary.
