The Bulldog Sex Position

Legs On Shoulder Sex PositionMissionary Sex Position

The Bulldog sex position closely resembles regular Doggy Style in many respects. Try it, though, and you'll notice the Bulldog puts you in an even more submissive stance than Doggy Style sex does. It's no surprise it's a fan favorite from our love making positions guide.

To do the Bulldog, start on all fours on your hands and knees, then bring your legs together. Your man enters from behind while holding a slight squat, feet planted outside your legs, hands resting on your waist or shoulders to steady himself.

What The Girl Does In The Bulldog Position

In the Bulldog position, you're mostly passive, so there's little required of you. That said, pushing back onto him amplifies the force of each thrust. Keeping your legs pressed tightly together makes you feel tighter to him and makes him feel bigger inside you. This syntribation effect can also make orgasm easier for you — handy if he needs to compensate for a smaller penis.

If you're having anal sex with your guy, try spreading your legs slightly and reaching down to masturbate or finger yourself while he thrusts.

What The Guy Does In The Bulldog Position

Your man handles nearly all the effort in the Bulldog. He'll be squatting directly over your butt, thrusting in and out. Because of his stance, he can adjust his angle of entry with ease — which works especially well if you give him feedback so you can both land on something you enjoy.

For more passionate or rougher sex, he can grip your hair, hips, or shoulders and pull you into him as he thrusts. This also suits couples who like him taking a dominant role while you stay submissive. If your arms tire out during sex in this position, you can rest on your shoulders and chest instead — though that shifts things closer to the Leapfrog position.

Things To Consider When Performing The Bulldog Sex Position

I've talked through the Bulldog with several students and picked up some useful feedback to help you get the most from it:

• It's a great position for your man to feel dominant in, but keep the intensity from tipping past what's comfortable and enjoyable.
• It doesn't have to be dominant-submissive at all. He can thrust gently while massaging your back at the same time for something more intimate. Tips for giving a good massage.
• Keep talking with your partner so he knows what's working and what could improve (leaning forward or back, thrusting faster or slower, and so on).

Sean's Thoughts On The Bulldog Position

I'm a genuine fan of the Bulldog position, especially when I'm feeling more dominant. With my partner on a soft surface like a blanket over the bed, I can go at it fairly hard without hurting her knees or arms.
