OVER the years Love Island has introduced us to a number of catchphrases, including different references or terms for sex.
Here we take a look at what the standing doggy sex position is so you don’t have to delete your search history.

What is the standing doggy sex position?
The standing doggy sex position is a lot easier than the original doggy position.
In this position, one partner stands infront and bends forward at the waist while the other partner stands behind and enters them from the back.
This position can offer deeper penetration and allows for a hands-free experience.
This makes it easier for both partners to maintain balance and engage in different forms of physical contact.
What are some other variations of the standing doggy sex position?
Doggy style may be one of the UK‘s favourite sex positions, but if you’re wanting to spice things up in the bedroom then there are many variations.
The best part is that they only require slight adjustments to reap the pleasurable rewards.
For instance, you can:
- Change the angle of penetration by leaning forwards or backward
- Bring your penetrating partner closer to you by reaching around and grabbing them by the waist
- Change the speed and depths of thrusting until you find what feels the best
- Use your hands to grab their hips and help them drive with each thrust
- Add a pillow under the hips of the receiver
- Do it tiger style – which is when the receiving partner poses on all fours on the bed with her knees close to the edge and the man stands behind her with his feet on the floor
It’s important to find out what feels good for you, as different angles and speeds will give you different results.
Like with most things in the bedroom, trial and error is often required in order to find what works best for you and your partner.
The most important thing to do is just make sure you communicate with your partner so that everyone is on the same page and enjoying themselves.
