Backshots Position: What It Really Means & Why Your Partner Will Beg for More

So What Exactly Are Backshots?

You’ve probably heard this term in songs or social media and wondered what everyone’s talking about. Backshots is simply slang for getting it from behind. That’s it.

Could be doggy style, could be bent over the kitchen counter, could be standing up against the wall. The term covers all of it. But the version that really gets people talking? When he’s standing behind you while you’re positioned perfectly for him to go deep.

This guide focuses specifically on standing backshots – the variations where your partner stands behind you while you’re positioned for optimal access and pleasure. These standing techniques are part of the broader doggy style positions family, but they offer unique advantages you won’t get from the traditional hands-and-knees setup.

Backshots vs Doggy Style: Understanding the Difference

Doggy Style = Specific position where you’re on hands and knees, partner kneeling behind you.

Backshots = Broader slang term covering any rear-entry position, including standing, bent-over, and traditional doggy variations.

Think of doggy style as one type of backshots, not the other way around. The standing backshots we’re covering here offer different angles and sensations than the classic hands-and-knees setup.

How to Master Standing Backshots

Basic Standing Setup

1. Find the right height: Use a bed, couch, or counter that aligns your bodies properly
2. Position yourself: Get on all fours at the bed’s edge or bend over a surface
3. Partner positioning: They stand behind you with feet planted for stability
4. Entry angle: Start with shallow penetration, then gradually go deeper
5. Find your rhythm: Begin slow and build intensity based on what feels good

Standing Bent-Over Variation

For this variation, you stand and bend forward at the waist:

• Brace against a wall, counter, or sturdy furniture
• Your partner stands behind you at the appropriate height
• This allows for quick transitions and spontaneous encounters
• Perfect for different locations throughout your home

Why Standing Backshots Feel Incredible

For the Receiving Partner:

For the Penetrating Partner:

• Standing provides better leverage and stamina
• Full control over depth, speed, and rhythm
• Excellent visual access
• Can use hands freely for additional stimulation or guidance

Standing gives them stamina they never knew they had. No more cramped knees or sore wrists. They can use their whole body, go deeper, and maintain that perfect rhythm that makes you lose your mind.

Research shows that physical activity can boost sexual satisfaction and desire, as the increased blood flow and stamina from standing positions like this can enhance the overall experience for both partners.

Plus, the view is really something. Watching themselves disappear into you while your body responds to every movement? That’s quality entertainment right there.

Pro Tips That Actually Work

Solving Height Differences

• Use pillows or cushions to adjust positioning

• Bend knees or adjust stance as needed

Maintaining Comfort and Stamina

• Start with shorter sessions and build endurance
• Switch between shallow and deep thrusts

Communication is Key

• Tell your partner what angle feels best

Safety Without Killing the Mood

Before You Start

Get yourself properly warmed up—and I mean really warmed up. Your body needs adequate foreplay and arousal before jumping into intense positions like this.

Good lubrication is non-negotiable. Even if you’re naturally producing enough, a little extra prevents any uncomfortable friction and keeps everything smooth and pleasurable.

During the Action

Check in with each other: Quick “how does this feel?” or “want me to go deeper?” keeps you both in sync and makes everything hotter.

Stay hydrated: This position can be athletic, so keep water nearby. Trust me, you’ll work up a sweat in the best way.

For everyone involved: Keep your footing steady, communicate if something doesn’t feel right, and remember that great sex is about pleasure, not performance.

Beginners: Start slow and build up. You don’t need to go from zero to expert in one session. Take time to find your rhythm and what feels great for both of you.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Balance Problems

If you’re feeling unsteady, widen your stance or use furniture for additional support. There’s no shame in prioritizing stability over aesthetics.

Back Discomfort

If you’re feeling strain in your lower back, you’re probably bending too far or at the wrong angle.

Try this: Slight bend instead of deep fold, or switch to the prone bone position where you’re lying flat—different sensation, same great depth.

Leg Fatigue

This is normal – your muscles are working differently than usual. Take breaks or transition to classic doggy style when you need a rest.

Height Mismatches

This is where furniture becomes your best friend. Kitchen islands, bathroom counters, even the arm of your couch can bridge the gap between “this is awkward” and “this feels great.”

Your Most Asked Questions About Backshots

What’s the real difference between backshots and doggy style? Doggy style is one specific position where you’re on hands and knees. Backshots is slang for the whole category of rear-entry positions – standing, bent over, lying down, whatever. Think of doggy style as one flavor of backshots, not the other way around. The term also captures that visual and intensity aspect that makes rear-entry so hot.

Will standing backshots actually hit my G-spot or P-spot better? Hell yes. The downward angle when your partner’s standing behind you creates a direct pathway to your most sensitive spots. It’s like having GPS for pleasure – the angle naturally guides everything exactly where it needs to go. Many people find this more effective than traditional horizontal positions.

How do we handle being completely different heights? Get creative with furniture. Kitchen counters, bathroom vanities, or the edge of your bed can bridge most height gaps. The receiving partner can wear heels, or use a sturdy step stool. Sometimes the height difference actually creates better angles – don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

Is this position too intense for beginners? Not at all, but communication is key. Start slow, use plenty of lubrication, and the receiving partner should control the pace initially. The beauty of backshots is that you can adjust intensity as you go. Begin with gentle movements and build up to whatever feels amazing for both of you.

Can we use toys to make backshots even better? Absolutely! Wand vibrators work perfectly for clitoral stimulation during penetration, and couples’ vibrating rings add sensation for both partners. The standing position gives you easy access to add whatever feels good. Just make sure anything you’re using is body-safe and properly lubricated.
