What's good about a man from behind
- Men like to look at women. Especially during sex: it turns them on. A stunning view from behind and complete control over the partner simply drives men crazy.
- For such positions, a bed is not required. In most cases, there is even no need to undress completely. So these positions are an ideal option for spontaneous sex.
- In almost all positions, the man, being behind, can caress the partner's breasts, thighs, and clitoris without being distracted from the process.
- Deep penetration and stimulation of both the back and front wall of the vagina, where, as many believe, the coveted G-spot is located.
- Many positions are also suitable for anal sex.
What may not be liked
- There is a lack of eye contact. Yes, positions with the man behind are not the most romantic. There are exceptions, but they are very few.
- Control over the process is given to the man. This is both a plus for men and a minus for women. Therefore, if the partner does not take the situation into her own hands in time, everything may end sooner than she would like.
- The penis usually does not reach the clitoris, does not stimulate it, and for many women, this is necessary for orgasm. However, as mentioned above, the partner can compensate for this with his hands.
1. Doggy style
The woman is on all fours. The man kneels behind and holds the partner by the waist. The woman can control the pace, moving in rhythm. The good old classic and one of the best sex positions.

What's good

Hardly can one call doggy style a position for gentle, romantic, and unhurried sex.
2. Doggy style in the air

What's good
This position is more convenient for the woman than the classic variation of doggy style.
What may not be liked
But the man's legs may get tired. And then either the position will have to be changed, or he will have to lean on the partner, which is unlikely to please her.
3. Up close
Similar to doggy style, but different.
The man is kneeling and holds the partner by the thighs. The woman leans on her knees and forearms. Her legs are crossed and positioned between the partner's legs.

What's good
A position for deep penetration. The partner can move her hips, giving the man a rhythm.
Differs from classic doggy style by the position of the partner's legs: the pelvis is raised, and due to the crossed legs, stimulation of the vagina during penetration is intensified.
