Whoopie School

"I like the sensations of rear entry, but I want his body close to mine. That's why my favorite position is when I lie on my stomach, and he lays on me and enters me from behind, his weight on me like packed sardines."

The Sardine Position

The Sardine is kind of the lazy man's version of doggy style. You both get the thrills of rear entry sex with the comfort of the missionary position. To do it, she lies facing down with her legs spread (not pictured). The wider her legs are, the deeper thrusting is; the more closed they are, the tighter it feels for both partners. He lies on top of her and penetrates from behind. The placement of a pillow beneath the receiving partner's hips can help increase stimulation in this position.

What's good about the Sardine: Neither partner has to support their weight as they would in the doggy style position, so they can focus their efforts and movement in the groin area. There's a lot more body contact. He may have a hard time reaching, but she can easily play with her clitoris while they move together. It's a slower, more gentle rear entry position.

What's bad about the Sardine: His weight can be cumbersome on top of her. It's much less erotic and animalistic than other rear entry positions.

Best for: you want some cuddling with your from behind action.
