A bit of a position problem...

I'm in a new relationship with a guy that's a foot taller than me. We are very compatable in the bedroom except for when we tried to do doggy style. I don't know how to say this w/out being graphic, but we couldn't get him in me. I don't know if the angle was wrong, he's too tall for me or what...we ended up rofl b/c it just wasn't working. I've never had this problem before and neither has he. He said he's been with women as small as me, but I've never been with a guy his height.

Any ideas or suggestions to make it work?

Thanks!

I know that doggy works best for DH and I if I am on the bed, on knees, and he is standing on the floor behind me. I also find that I can adjust my height by lowering or raising the top half of my body. You can use your arms to raise you, pillows to hold your hips in place, or you can lay your head on pillows, or the bed. Elbows can also be bent. My height can also be adjusted by how far I have my legs apart, and he can bend his knees/spread his feet apart somewhat to make adjustment as well. This is one of our favorite positions, and we often vary our position throughout by doing some of the things I mentioned here.

If you are both on your knees, he can also bend one knee and rest his foot on the bed. This will create new sensations for you while also making adjustments in his angle. He can try each foot separately.

Here's an article with some different types of rear entry positions that you might also want to try:

Try using pillows under your knees to elevate your rear end would be a good start. Also, with such a big differance he may have to try standing at the edge of the bed. Since you've both done this position with other people, it's probubly just a logistical and angling issue that can be worked out.

Me and my DH have the opposite problem, I'm 5 inches taller than DH, as well as other issues, and this position has always been our achilles heal. If you can't line up and be comfortable, you can make modifications such as your pelvis being elevated on pillows or lay on your tummy competely. It's not the doggie style but hey you gotta do what feels right and comfortable.

I'm 5'2" and my partners have always been way taller than me. I've never had a problem. I wonder if you try putting pillows under your knees to raise you up a bit. Keep trying. Imagine the fun you'll have..

Thanks, everyone for the suggestions. I am under 5' tall, but I never imagined this would be an issue until we tried. We were like 2 klunky teenagers, I really was amusing. Somewhat of a buzzkill, but funny none the less!!

We've talked about how to remedy our "problem" & we agree, we'll have fun trying!
