When I think of doggy style, a popular merengue by Dionis y La Banda Flakka plays in my head. It goes, “Ponte en cuatro, ponte en cuatro!” Translation: get on all fours. I know, riveting lyrics. (Sense my sarcasm.) This songs popularity may have something to do with the fact that most men love doggy style. According to this study, 43 percent of men love hitting it from behind. Mostly because doggy style allows for deeper penetration. The thing is that most women feel a lack of intimacy and connection when performing doggy style. The name alone (doggy style!) sounds like an antonym to romance. So, what’s the solution? Can doggy style be romantic? Why, yes, it can! Check out these tips for better sex and the ways to make doggy style more romantic.
Tips for Better Sex: Make Doggy Style More Romantic
Use a mirror.
Some women have issues with doggy style because of the lack of eye contact. That’s when a mirror comes in handy.
Bonus doggy style romance tip: Position yourself in front of a long mirror so you can get a better view. As he thrusts, lock eyes. This will not only intensify the experience, but you will also connect with your love during sex.
Spooning
You don’t always have to be on your knees for doggy style. Instead, let him penetrate while spooning. He can still hit your spot and even nibble on your neck while doing so. Plus, it’s a great way to switch onto other positions, like the Reverse Slide or Reverse Cowgirl.
Jump into the bathtub.
Sex in the shower can be risky. You can slip and fall, and that’s not sexy!
Here’s a bonus doggy style romance tip: Fill up your bathtub with warm water, lay down, and let him hit it from behind (spooning position) while your body is submerged. Just make sure the bathtub is big enough for the both of you and to lay down towels by the bathtub for spillage. Add candles and mood music and you’ll feel like the star of a Danielle Steel novel.
Stand up.
Standing up while doing it doggy style is also great for romance. This makes it easier to turn your head and lock eyes with your partner. Kiss passionately. Allow him to cup your breasts and whisper sweet words in your ear that stir your loins.

No dirty talk.
Dirty talk makes things…dirtier. And doggy style doesn’t need to feel any less intimate!
Here’s a great tip for better sex when doing it doggy style: While he’s rocking your body from behind, ask him to verbally affirm your fabulosity. He’ll tell you you’re beautiful and you’ll feel so sensual and sexy. Pull him in deeper in more ways than one.
Use your hands.
We have five senses and you should use them all during sex! When doing it doggy style, a great tip for better sex is to ask your partner to caress your back and rub his hands all over your body. His fingertips can linger on your inner thighs before they graze your clitoris. I guarantee you’ll become a new fan of doggy style.
