Whoopie School

"I like doing it doggy style, but when my man starts bumping my cervix, I simply rest my upper body on the bed, which makes the thrusts more shallow and pleasurable."

Downward Dog Position

When you want to do it doggy style without all the weight on her arms and all the pressure on her cervix, there's the downward dog position. The Downward Dog is a modified version of doggy style in which she bends forward from the hips and rests her head and upper body on the bed. This position is a little more comfortable than straight doggy style, but still has a lot of the benefits of the top from behind position.

What's good about Downward Dog: You get all the benefits of doggy style - the deep penetration, the dominant/submissive fantasy, the visuals - with a little bit more comfort and support for her. Plus, the further she leans forward, the more shallow his thrusts are, so if he is particularly well-endowed or if cervix-bumping makes doggy style uncomfortable, this modification keeps you better protected.

What's bad about Downward Dog: While it can be a little less rough than regular doggy style, it isn't any more intimate.

Best for: when your cervix is sore.
