Doggie Style Problems due to height diff

My boyfriend and I are at least one foot different in height. I am under five feet and he is close to six feet in height. We have never done it doggy style. We tried once, but it was unsuccessful I think because of the height difference. I'd like to try again, but not sure what to do to help things out since there is such a large gap in our heights. I have done it doggy style with two other men in the past (just a few times in total) but both men were only a few inches taller so I guess that's why we didn't have a problem.

Any tips would be appreciated. THANKS.

Like anything else, you have to work at it! Even when two people are the same height, there can be differences in the proportion of legs to torso, and still be difficult.

Try different scenarios.....you on the bed on your knees, him standing beside...both of you lying side by side on the bed.....you sitting on his lap with your back to him.....use your imagination!

Invest in a sturdy step stool. That will help to raise you up enough so that he can adjust his height if needed by simply bending his knees to align your genitalia. You can lean over a table or high bed for support. My DH and I use one and it helps a lot.

Totally understand, as our height difference is 13" and after 22 mos together, we just had our first "bed" episode. Previously, the only way we were successful, was me draped over the couch end (armrest - which is very uncomfortable on belly, so I don't highly recommend it); sensations were spectacular, but belly pressure interferred.

On the bed, I was on knees with feet over edge and he stood behind me, which still put me too low for him. For us successful entry invloves him backing-up while I try to insert it, once n, away we go. IMO, insertion takes patience, determination and a little imagination. Good luck and don't give up.
