The Bulldog Sex Position: Leg Workout or Just Another Hype?

Trying the Bulldog Position Tonight

Here’s what makes this position so compelling – the bulldog sex position is doggy style’s more passionate, deeply satisfying variation. It’s what happens when regular rear entry gets an upgrade that awakens sensations you never knew your body could create.

While vanilla doggy style has the penetrating partner kneeling behind, bulldog puts them in a squat position – curves on display, thighs engaged – creating a downward angle that hits every single nerve ending in ways that’ll make your toes curl involuntarily.

The receiving partner isn’t just on hands and knees either – they’re chest down, hips elevated, with an arch that creates the most gorgeous silhouette. It’s primal. It’s raw. And it’s exactly what you crave when regular intimacy feels predictable.

Now that you understand what makes this position special, let’s explore exactly how to master it for maximum pleasure.

Here at Best Sexy Positions, we’ve thoroughly “researched” this position (tough job, but we’re dedicated to your pleasure). What makes us so confident this position deserves your immediate attention? Because our testing team still gets that dreamy look when discussing the results – that’s how you know it’s BSP-level incredible.

I still remember the first time a partner shifted into this position with me – that moment when they moved from kneeling to squatting and suddenly hit spots that made my brain short-circuit. My vocabulary instantly reduced to breathless whispers and pleading, and honestly, the memory still makes me smile.

How to Master the Bulldog Without Pulling a Muscle

Ready to turn your bedroom into a sweat-soaked paradise? Here’s exactly how to nail this standing doggy variant:

If You’re Receiving:

1. Get into position: Start on your hands and knees like you’re setting up for regular doggy
2. Drop it low: Lower your chest down to the bed (or floor, counter – we’re not picky)
3. Arch like art: Curve your spine to showcase those gorgeous lines
4. Spread for stability: Keep your knees apart for balance – you’ll need it when your world gets rocked

If You’re Penetrating:

1. Take your place: Position yourself behind all that beauty
2. Drop into a squat: Instead of kneeling, squat down (yes, like you’re at the gym, but way more fun)
3. Plant your feet: Establish firm footing – you’re going to need the leverage
4. Hold on tight: Grip those hips like they’re your anchor
5. Angle downward: Enter from above at an angle that’ll hit every sweet spot

The magic here is all about that squatting position. It changes the angle completely, directing pressure against the front wall or hitting the prostate with laser precision. It’s not just different – it’s deliberately, intensely better.

Important: Take a moment to stretch your hip flexors and thighs before diving in – your body will thank you later. Regular exercise improves sexual function and endurance, with cardiovascular activity enhancing blood flow to all the right places. Start with 30-60 seconds in position, then build up as your strength and comfort increase.

Our annual BSP reader survey doesn’t lie – 78% of couples said this position made them climax harder than standard doggy. One reader confessed: “I literally forgot my own name. Best night of my life, hands down.”

Why This Doggy Style Variation Will Ruin You For Basic Sex

There’s a reason the bulldog position has a devoted following among BSP readers. Here’s why you’ll become obsessed:

It Awakens Pleasure Zones That Make You Tremble

The downward angle of penetration means whoever’s receiving gets their most sensitive spots caressed with every movement. It’s like someone discovered exactly where all your nerve endings converge and decided to create a symphony there. The pressure builds with each thrust, creating waves of sensation that ripple through your entire body, spreading far beyond the point of contact.

Domination That Feels Deliciously Intense

For those who love power dynamics, this position serves it up beautifully. The penetrating partner is literally commanding from above, controlling every sensation. The receiving partner is completely open, vulnerable, and loving every second of it. You’ll hear breathing get heavier, feel fingers gripping tighter, and sense that electric energy building between you. If you’re exploring the psychology of control, our guide to dominant and submissive positions dives deeper into positions that enhance power exchange.

The View Is Absolutely Stunning

If you’re the one squatting behind, the visual you get is straight-up magnificent. Everything is on gorgeous display, and watching yourself disappear into your partner from this angle will melt your brain in the most delicious way. The arch of their back, the flex of muscles with each movement – it’s a private show that beats anything you could stream.

It’s Built For Getting Passionate

When gentle lovemaking isn’t what you’re craving, the bulldog delivers. The stability of the position lets you thrust harder, deeper, and more intensely without anyone slipping or sliding. It’s built for those nights when you both want to get a little wild and throw inhibitions out the window.

Your Hands Are Free To Explore

Both partners have hands available for other adventures – grabbing hair, gentle spanking, reaching around for extra stimulation. Multi-tasking has never felt so incredible.

Mix It Up: Bulldog Variations That’ll Leave You Breathless

Think you’ve mastered the basic bulldog? Try these variations that’ll take things to the next level:

The Classic Bulldog

You’re both on the bed, but instead of the usual kneeling, the penetrating partner plants their feet and squats behind you. That downward angle hits completely different spots than regular doggy. Your thighs might burn a little, but the way it lets you control every inch of depth and pressure makes it so worth it.

The Standing Bulldog

Take this show vertical. The receiving partner bends over on the bed while the penetrating partner stands behind them in a slight squat. You get that same downward angle but with the added thrill of being upright – perfect when you want to switch things up without changing locations. 

The Supported Bulldog

When your legs start trembling (and they will), drop one knee to the bed while keeping the other foot planted. You’ll still get that delicious angle but with less quad burn. Sometimes called the “I prioritize pleasure over gym membership” modification. This more relaxed variation is also known as the basset hound position in some circles.

I discovered the Supported Bulldog during a particularly enthusiastic session when my legs were about to give out. What started as necessity turned into a favorite – the slight asymmetry hit angles that felt incredible. It’s worth exploring other doggy style positions to find variations that work perfectly for your body and stamina level.

One of our BSP testing team members shared: “During our, ahem, ‘research sessions,’ we knocked a lamp off the nightstand trying the Bulldog pose. Neither of us stopped to pick it up – that’s how incredible this position is. When the intensity makes you ignore broken furniture, you know you’ve found something special.”

We’ve collected feedback from thousands of satisfied BSP readers who’ve mastered the bulldog. Here’s their best advice:

Beginner Moves:

• Start shallow: Begin with gentle movements until you find the perfect angle
• Communicate constantly: Tell each other what feels incredible – direction is foreplay

• Support yourself: Use pillows strategically for better angles

Advanced Pleasure Tactics:

• Add rhythmic spanking: Time it with thrusts for sensory overload
• Try the squeeze technique: Receiving partner, clench your muscles when they’re deep inside
• Incorporate sexy talk: Describe exactly what you’re feeling
• Experiment with depth control: Switch between shallow and devastatingly deep penetration, similar to the rhythm control you’ll find in the jockey position where close contact creates incredible intimacy

• Add temperature play: A warm mouth or cool breath on the back during movement

For Everyone:

• Quality lubrication makes everything silkier and more pleasurable, especially for extended sessions
• A strategically placed mirror gives you both a captivating show
• Don’t hold back your sounds – vocal feedback creates an intoxicating feedback loop
• Keep towels within reach – this position awakens enthusiastic responses
• Remember this works beautifully for all gender combinations and orientations
• Check in with each other frequently – “Does this feel incredible?” keeps you both connected
• Switch positions every few minutes to maintain comfort and build anticipation

Clear communication during intimate moments significantly enhances sexual satisfaction for both partners. When you’re both sharing what works, pleasure gets stronger and more satisfying.

Troubleshooting: When Good Positions Need Fine-Tuning

Even the hottest sex positions can have their moments. Here’s how to handle common bulldog challenges:

When Legs Start Trembling

Problem: The penetrating partner’s thighs are on fire.
Solution: Switch to Supported Bulldog (one knee down), or briefly transition to standard doggy before returning to bulldog. Alternatively, the receiving partner can take over and move back onto you while you stay still and enjoy the show.

Finding Your Perfect Angle

Problem: You’re not hitting the right spots.
Solution: Receiving partner, arch your back more dramatically or flatten it slightly until you find the sweet spot. Penetrating partner, adjust your squat height – going lower or higher by just an inch can make all the difference between good and earth-shattering.

Height Mismatches

Problem: One of you is significantly taller or shorter.
Solution: Use furniture to your advantage. Taller receiving partners can spread their legs wider to lower their hips. For significant differences, try the standing variation with the receiving partner on appropriately-sized furniture.

One memorable night with a partner who was nearly a foot taller than me, we spent 15 minutes trying to make this work before creatively stacking pillows under my knees. What started as awkward geometry became one of our most passionate sessions ever – sometimes the best discoveries come from problem-solving together.

More Positions That’ll Transform Your Nights

If you’ve conquered the bulldog and want more positions that deliver that same intensity, explore these complementary options:

• Banana Split Position

Wide stance doggy that creates different angles and sensations

• Speed Bump Position

Add pillows under the hips for G-spot targeting that’ll make them see stars.

The BSP Verdict: Worth Every Drop of Sweat

The bulldog position isn’t just another bedroom option – it’s a full-body experience that transforms ordinary encounters into something worth writing poetry about (though maybe keep those poems private). The combination of depth, angle, and primal energy creates sensations that make regular doggy style seem like you were barely trying before.

Yes, it requires more physical effort than your standard routine. Yes, someone’s thighs will probably be deliciously sore tomorrow. But when you’re both lying there afterward, unable to form complete sentences and wondering if your neighbors heard your names being called out, you’ll understand why we say: That’s not just good sex, that’s BSP-level pleasure that changes everything.

BSP certified: Our testing team ranks this position in the top 10 for orgasm intensity and overall satisfaction. Try it tonight and thank us tomorrow – after your legs start working again.
