position question
| Tue, 07-03-2007 - 12:06pm |
Ok, I'm not quite sure how to go about asking a question like this, so I'll just ask away...
DH and I have been wanting to try the doggy position, but we just cant seem to make it work. Its like he cant reach me. From what I've read about this position, I've had the impression that is was the "one size fits all" or should I say "all sizes fit one" position. I'm not small by any means, and dh has a rather large belly. Also his penis is on the shorter side. Is it just not possible for us, or are we doing something wrong. TIA for any tips or advice...

Experiment!
Welcome to the board kristiann75.
It sounds like the two of you are not getting yourselves into good placement. Doggy style is pretty much the universal, "one position works for all" answer. I think Sakura gave you some good advice on ways to align things better. Using pillows to raise either of your bodies is also something you might find helpful.
Here are some resources that are also helpful for larger people:

Trust me, doggy isn't one size fits all! With my ex, who was about 25kg (that's around 55lb) overweight, we couldn't get that position to work for us. His penis was also on the smaller side (slightly under average). I'm a small thing, so you would have thought that would have made some allowances. Every time we tried it, I wouldn't get any pleasure, and that's IF he could get it in far enough for him not to slip back out. It didn't matter how high or low my backside was in the air.
I hated that position until I met another guy and discovered what it could be like. At that time, my ex and I had split up for a while, and when we got back together, with a bit more experience behind me, I attempted that position with him again, and still couldn't make it work.
We broke up two years ago, and I've been with two other guys since then, and because of them doggy is my favourite position. I've never had a bad experience with it since, no matter how I'm positioned.
Kudos to you if you can find something that works for the both of you.
Have you tried having him lie on the bed and doing WOT with you facing backwards? If you can do it that way doggy style should work if you get a good angle going on. Actually WOT with your front facing his feet is the same position you would need for doggy style so you can find out if it is possible for you.
You can also try a wheelbarrow doggy style position. He would have to be able to support part of your weight though with your front on the bed and him standing behind you.
Good luck and -- aren't these boards great! I love them too!

I am on the smaller side and have a lot of trouble getting any good penetration with doggy style.
