Try these 5 from-behind positions with your partner
Let’s start with what this is not: a takedown of doggy style. We love doggy style! It’s a classic for a reason. We’d never want you to take doggy style out of sexual rotation. We believe it’s important to talk about all the options you’ve got.
This guide is for those of you who love doggy style but want to spice up your from-behind positions. There are a ton of other sexual positions that feel great from behind and are sure to be included into your weekly (daily?) sexual routine.
Ahead, let’s unpack why from-behind positions feel so good, and 5 new ones to consider if you hadn't before for less of the same and more spice in the bedroom.
Why from-behind positions feel so good
From-behind positions are great as variety when you’re having sex. Switching positions gives your body the opportunity to engage in sex in different ways and have different sensations. Plus, it’s always fun to see the shapes your body can make.
For people with the elusive G-spot specifically, from-behind is a great way to access that erogenous zone because, generally, there can be deeper penetration. These positions aren’t just fun for G-spot access—all sorts of positions and entry points can be made this way. For many people, going on all fours is the main way for anal penetration, too.

5 from-behind positions to try with your partner
Lazy Doggy
It’s really not as lazy as it seems. The Lazy Doggy position is pretty much exactly like Doggy Style but instead of being on their knees and hands, that person is lying on their stomach with a pillow propped underneath their hips to raise them up a bit. Let your knees take a break and still feel deep penetration.
Spooning
The Spooning position is one of the best positions for couples building or rebuilding intimacy with each other. It’s so tender, sweet, and still incredibly hot. A couple gets into a spooning position, lying on their sides, and one penetrates the other. If the receiver has a clitoris, the giver can absolutely stimulate that area, too, adding a bit more fun and heightened sensation to the mix.
The Chairman
Just like it sounds, one person is sitting on top of their partner like a chair—but, you know, a sexy one. The Chairman position has the giver sitting on the edge of the bed with their legs in a tabletop position, while the receiver sits on top of them. This position is also great for intimacy or clitoral or breast stimulation. The receiver, too, can use their legs to move up and down, and change the speed of penetration.
Standing Wheelbarrow
The Standing Wheelbarrow is definitely a position for anyone who loves to hold a plank. We’re kidding (sort of.) Standing Wheelbarrow is pretty fun when you get into it. Have one partner on all fours while the other squats behind, penetrating. The giver holds their partner’s legs around their waist Slowly, they stand up, and bring the receiver’s legs with them in a way that, you guessed it, looks like a wheelbarrow.
Snake
The Snake position is very good for deeper, bigger penetration. The receiving partner lies flat on their stomach with their legs tight together as the giving partner penetrates from behind. Put a pillow underneath your belly if you’re in a Snake position to take some pressure off your lower back.
