LG, and others please chime in. Being married twice, both wives always preferred our endings by doggie. Now after seeing providers for a while, when asked about their favorite, it's always the same..doggie.

So here is my question. Why??

I have some answers in my head (yep, the big one.lol)

Is it because it's just more comfortable for the lady?

Is it because it's deeper penetration?

Is it because they don't have to look at our ugly expression while doing the deed (ha ha).

So hopefully you get the idea. Just have always wondered why this is the lady's favorite but don't worry, it's one of mine as well...wink..wink

Thanks everyone!!

Dear duckbill8,

To find out exact answers, we would have to look at research that is dubious at best, and completely spurious at worst. Ford and Beach have examined over 100 preliterate societies and come to the conclusion that various societies practice various coital positions.

I believe that all your proposed answers are valid, although I don't believe that this is the favorite position of EVERY woman out there. For someone with fibroids located at the fundus of the uterus either inside the uterus itself or on the outer walls, doggie style might NOT be so comfortable - the banging from behind could hurt.

For a woman who gets very little out of missionary sex, however, the particular friction of the penis, the going deeper, the possibility of manual stimulation of the clitoris while still getting penetrated might be powerfully stimulating. Many women enjoy deep penetration, particularly when sufficiently aroused, and doggie allows for precisely that.

It seems that doggie can get a man to climax rather reliably. For one, unless he has "bad knees," the position allows for more freedom of the upper body - the majority of his weight is on his legs. Instead of having to become a work of "hydraulics," hoisting himself up and down as in missionary, the main work is in the thrusting, while supporting himself on his knees and also on the structure in front of him, i.e. the lady on all fours. For the woman, it allows for less weight hovering above her, more room to move and the ability to prop her vulva against the penis with some force.

All in all, doggie seems like a win/win situation, unless there is some physiological impediment to the position. As for the "ugly expression," well, there could be something to it. While the "ugly people" are back there doing their thing, the "pretty people" can imagine they are being banged by the latest movie star or whoever else might strike their imaginary fancy. Also, it's a great way to avoid getting in too much contact with a profusely perspiring male. Of course, some women love a guy who gives a good sweat - others might just go for doggie and count their multiple blessings

Woof, woof,

The novelty and the apparent greater pressure were just great.

Then, I became less and less enamoured of it.

Now my favorite is good old mish. There's something about staring into her eyes as the moment of truth approaches that I find irresistable.

I don't like doggie at all.  And the providers you are seeing may offer doggie because they are assuming it's what you want.  IME, the sexual positions that work and please the most change with the partner, change over time, and change with the moment.  There's no rule to it.

Any position gets old after a while for both parties. I have found that my recent favs all liked doggie quite a bit but not for an extended period of pounding.  Changing it up seems to be the key in keeping it interesting.

LG, enshroud thine keyboard in pre-emptive Syran Wrap - lest thoust doest not destroy-est it.

"Missionary" position is the preferred approach for the radical conservative right wing.  It was advanced on the plains to the blood thirsty native indian savages as far more civilized than the more commonly practiced "back door" approach.

Of course, it would take the likes of some neo-con to make something which is inherently easier (and more fun) to favor something more difficult but palatal to the tastes of the Victorian era.  Unless you were clairvoyant enough to know the likes of some the neo-con's more popular contemporary proponents, i.e. Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, Sarah Palin, etc, might just need to expend a little energy to loose a few extra pounds anyways.  This idea too, is right in line with the acronym "PTL", which of course means "praise the lord", but really is psychobabble for "part thy legs".  Thank you Jim and Tammy Faye Baker - true mish-ogynists of the highest order.

Quite frankly, if I were sportin' a derby back in the day, I'd prefer to bend over a few of them gals in some of those hoop dresses and cute leggings, but we've already touched on our lack of paternalism in a paternalistic society, and that's fodder for some other discussion.

My thought for the day.  Where's my lithium...lol...

It's my impression that some providers only like doing CG for a limited period of time because their legs get tired. After all, they are doing this several times a day. It used to be my favorite position because it puts you close to a women's face and breasts, but hobbying has shifted me away because so many providers seem to have limited interest in it.

and I suspect sometimes my ciggy breath lead to doggie.

Many other things can cause bad breathe.

Doggie avoids, or at least makes this matter much less, an issue.

I read not too long ago that the doggie position is the one most likely to induce pregnancy.

If this is really true, then nature would seem to find this preferable, as it's more conducive to reproduction.

I'd love to finish doggie! I've fantasized about it, but never been able to do it in my whole sexual lifetime! Count your blessings.
