The doggystyle position, or “from the behind”
sex, is nature’s way of making love. It outdates all
sexual positions because it has been used by species throughout the
ages. There are songs in honor of it. Snoop Dogg even
went so far as devoting an album title to it. Now if the
Doggfather himself gives head to the doggystyle position, then you
know it must be something spectacular.
For those of you who don’t know exactly how this position
works, I’d suggest watching the Discovery channel. Seeing a
horse mount another horse will paint a vivid picture for you.
Being that it’s very animalistic in nature, this position
shouldn’t be approached with a timid or conservative
attitude. In fact, if you really want to enjoy this position
to the maximum, you must embrace the animal inside you.
We spend so much time trying to remove ourselves from the true
animals that we are and consequently, we lose touch with
nature. By using the doggystyle position you are not only
expanding your sexual horizons, but also becoming one with
nature.
While doggystyle is a widely celebrated act for an overwhelming
majority of the mammal kingdom, it’s not quite as renowned
among human beings. This is unfortunate because under our cloaks of
“civility” there prowls a flesh-thirsty creature of the
wild just waiting to reclaim its untamed appetite for sex. Sorry to
be the bearer of bad news, but missionary just isn’t doing
it.
Leave it up to a group of conservative white-haired men to try
and detach us from nature by creating the “more
appropriate” form of intercourse. The missionary position was
named after the 19th century Christian missionaries who believed
that man on top was the only natural and proper position for
intercourse. But what’s more natural than the position
embraced by Mother Nature herself?
Doggystyle is so great that there are variations on how it can
be positioned. You can do it the normal way ““ on your
knees on a flat surface. Another, more intimate, position would be
the giver laying directly on top of the receiver while both are
facing the bed. Of course, you shouldn’t feel limited to just
these variations.
You might even want to strengthen your bond with nature by
pursuing your partner as though your species’ survival was
dependent on it. Have your partner run around the room (or forest)
as if running away from you. Your job is to try to pounce on him or
her as though you were chasing prey. To make it even more
realistic, have your partner continue to squirm until you’ve
mounted successfully. Once engaged in the act of love, arch your
heads up towards the ceiling (or sky) and howl, bark, roar or
cackle in celebration of your intimate union.
Doggystyle is a very dominant position. Depending on your
preference, you can role-play accordingly. If you like being
Sheena, queen of the jungle, then mount on up. However, women in
heterosexual relationships can’t really mount their
boyfriends from behind. That is ladies, unless your
boyfriend is into strap-ons and the activities that accompany
them. In case it’s not his thing, then you can try the
always-dominant woman on top position. On the flip side, you might
enjoy being the fly trapped in a spider’s web. Switching
positions each time so that each person can be predator or prey is
always a great compromise.
Some people might have qualms about being the receiver because
it makes them feel inferior. That’s a load of
crap. I’m very confident in my independence as a woman,
but I still enjoy falling victim to a predator from time to
time. It’s not wrong to be the devious little mouse
caught stealing cheese by the ravenous pussy cat. Indeed, it
can only lead to a good time for our inner masochists. Let the
little kitten slap you around like a ball of yarn for a little
while. After all, you were caught stealing.
I realize that some women can construe the role of the prey as a
form of submission to a dominant figure. Playing the submissive
role in bed does in no way constitute a dependent, vulnerable
person in all other aspects of life. Not if you don’t want it
to. It’s simply fun.
Another great aspect of the doggystyle position (not normally
utilized by monkeys and lions and such) is the ease with which pain
can be inflicted (ever heard of S&M?). Well, the doggystyle
position lends itself as a very convenient position for S&M to
take place.
Consider this: You’ve successfully mounted your partner,
but you’re not pleased with the resistance your partner gave.
Well, that kind of behavior deserves punishment! Spanking has
always been an effective punishment for me. Hair pulling (if
long enough) and dirty-talk can also work. And who could
forget the good-old-fashioned
belt-around-the-neck-acting-as-a-leash technique?
We only live life once ““ or at least one life at a time
““ so why not live it to the fullest? Expanding your horizons
whether sexually or otherwise is key to living a fulfilling life.
You don’t want to look back on your sex life and see only
boring missionary sex once a week, do you?
No, you want to see on-going porn! You want to reminisce about
two savage creatures engaged in violent interaction.
You want to remember just how good it felt, and how heavy your
panting was.
Well, doggystyle is a surefire way to get you to that point.
And remember, if Snoop says it’s cool, then it must
be!
