Your Best Sex May Be Behind You
Cosmopolitan|October 2018

We don’t mean behind you figuratively; we mean it literally... as in doggie-style. The rear entry position (you on all fours with your guy at your backside) just officially dethroned missionary as millennials’ favorite way to get it on, according to the 2018 SKYN Condoms Millennial Sex Survey, which polled nearly 4,000 young men and women in America.

Your Best Sex May Be Behind You
What’s truly awesome about this shift is that, for the first time in this annual survey, equal numbers of women and men say doggie is their jam. “Sex from behind usually feels great for everyone involved,” says certified sex therapist Rena McDaniel. “It allows for a greater depth of penetration, and the angle allows more leverage for thrusting.” Such deep intercourse means you can experience feel-good stimulation from his penis all along your vagina, including your G-spot and potentially even up to your cervix (which, because of the nerves clustered there, can be a major pleasure point for some women).

And variations of P-in-V doggie fun can be mostly hands-free, giving you both an invite to travel elsewhere with your digits, says clinical sexologist Claudia Six, PhD, author of Erotic Integrity. Midhookup, either of you can rub or caress your clitoris (which can help you orgasm more easily during vaginal penetration), breasts, or butt (although he has better access to your cheeks, obvi) or his balls.
