Lazy Dog Sex Position: A Doggy Style Alternative

Bassett Hound Sex PositionLazy Wheelbarrow Sex Position

If you enjoy Doggy Style but struggle with it due to body shape, size, or physical ability, Lazy Dog makes a great substitute. You get comparable G-spot stimulation and deep thrusting while putting in noticeably less effort.

In the Lazy Dog sex position, the penetrating partner kneels behind the receiving partner, as shown above. The receiving partner then settles backward into their partner’s lap, kneeling as well and leaning forward onto their hands. That’s why Lazy Dog is sometimes referred to as “Collapsed Doggy.”

The Receiver’s Role In The Lazy Dog Position

The receiving partner’s main task here is simply holding their body steady, mostly by keeping hands and knees planted on the floor. There are two common ways to get started:

1. Kneel first, then lean forward and lift your hips and butt to rest on your partner’s lap
2. Start in doggy style, then lower your butt as your partner kneels beneath you

You’re also free to move your hips or push back into your partner while in Lazy Dog.

As the receiver, spreading your hands and knees further apart will make it noticeably easier to stay balanced.

The Penetrating Partner’s Role In The Lazy Dog Position

The penetrating partner kneels and penetrates from behind. They can stay relatively upright while resting on their knees, as shown above, or lower themselves so their thighs rest against their calves.

They can also widen or narrow their knee stance to shift the position further.

Once penetration begins, the focus shifts to thrusting back and forth, with hips as a good handhold for leverage.

Other options to mix in include..

• Spanking your ass or other types of impact play
• Stroking your thighs or back
• Pulling your hair
• Leaning down to bite your back or shoulders. More rough sex tips.
• Having anal sex
• Reaching around and fingering you
• Scratching your back with their nails

Ways To Level Up The Lazy Dog Position

Lazy Dog holds up fine on its own, but there’s plenty of room to experiment and make it even better.

Add a mirror – Since you’re both facing the same direction here, sex in front of a mirror gives you an excellent view.

Use a vibrating cock ring – Flip it upside down so the vibration hits your clitoris.

Kneel on a pillow – The penetrating partner can kneel or sit on a pillow if the position feels uncomfortable or extra height is needed. The receiving partner can use one too!

Play with hot wax – With your back exposed, your partner can drip candle wax onto it. Just make sure the candle has a low melting point so it won’t burn you.

Give a massage – Lazy Dog also pairs nicely with a sensuous back massage.

Add bondage – Try a chest or waist harness, or wrist cuffs. Gags work well too, and you can experiment with different cuff styles.

Variations On Lazy Dog & Comparable Positions

Doggy Style

Traditional Doggy Style is naturally the closest relative to Lazy Dog. Standard Doggy may suit certain height differences better, or work better if the penetrating partner has a larger belly.

Frog Leap

Instead of kneeling, Frog Leap has you squatting, which won’t work for everyone. The upside is that it adds a bit more… bounce.

Bouncing Spoon

Not identical to Lazy Dog, but you’ll still be seated in your partner’s lap. Leaning back here means more skin-on-skin contact, plus easier access to your breasts and clit — great if you like to masturbate yourself mid-sex.

Basset Hound

Basset Hound might feel easier since you rest on knees and elbows while your partner’s thighs stay outside yours, giving a bit more room to thrust.

Leapfrog

One more position similar to Lazy Dog is Leapfrog. As the receiver, your upper body rests on the bed with your arms stretched out ahead of you, calves extended behind, and your butt raised, propped up by your thighs.

The penetrating partner kneels behind you.
