3. Focused on Physical Sensation
Doggy style offers intense physical sensations for both partners. For many men, the angle provides more friction and depth, enhancing pleasure. It can also be a more physically stimulating position for those who enjoy a faster rhythm or deeper connection.
So, it might not be about visuals or dominance at all. It could be as simple as: it feels really, really good. And again, thatâs okayâas long as youâre enjoying it, too.
4. Emotionally Distant? Or Just Physically Engaged?
Some people wonder if the preference for doggy style means a partner is avoiding eye contact or emotional connection. This is a valid concern. Intimacy is often about more than just the act itselfâitâs also about closeness, tenderness, and feeling seen.
If your partner always avoids face-to-face positions, it might be worth gently exploring why. Are they uncomfortable with vulnerability? Is something else going on emotionally that theyâre not expressing? Or are they simply more comfortable expressing intimacy in a different way? The answer may surprise you.
5. Following Stereotypes or Media Influence
Letâs not ignore the elephant in the room: porn and pop culture have made doggy style out to be the âultimateâ move. Some men may be mimicking what theyâve seen, believing it to be the most desirable or âmasculineâ position. If thatâs the case, he might not even realize how much heâs been influenced by what heâs consumed.
Talking about desires and preferences in an open, non-judgmental way can help both partners create a sex life thatâs realânot just a highlight reel from the internet.
So What Can You Do About It?
If you enjoy it too, great! Embrace what works for you both. But if youâre feeling neglected or unsatisfied, donât stay silent. Open conversations about sex can be uncomfortable, but theyâre also empowering. Ask questions, express your needs, and explore other positions that create balance.
Remember, sex is about mutual pleasure, emotional connection, and trust. So if your partner always wants to do it from behind, the real question isnât âWhatâs wrong with him?ââitâs âWhat does this tell us about how we connect, and how can we deepen that connection together?â
