can benefit from watching the other and applying what you’ve learned from a practical and loving perspective. Finally, there is no need to have simultaneous orgasms—it’s not that kind of duet. When I say sex is like a canon, I don’t mean the detonating kind. Think of it as a canon, a song in a round, such as “Row, Row, Row, Your Boat,” during which one person comes a little later than the other, but both end in unison—where life is but a dream.
“When you accept that the primary source of your sexual pleasure is yourself—and not a partner—that’s when you can understand that your role in another person’s orgasm is akin to an apprentice and, later, an assistant.”

Introduction to Harmony: A Study in Sexual Progression
In music, we would consider this chapter to be variations on a theme. In sex counseling, we would call it progression. If a couple is most familiar with or favors a particular position, or because of physical restrictions they have just one position that they’re able to try, sex counselors work with them to make that position as interesting and rewarding as possible.
Rear-entry, also known as “doggy style,” is one such position that many couples use. For them, it may be the only position, other than missionary, that they know. Women who get aroused when the penis glances across the vaginal ceiling or who enjoy the mutual access to their clitoris, pubic mound, or even their ass, may opt for a rear-entry position.

Men who want stronger erections gain an advantage from rear-entry because kneeling or standing positions—rather than supine positions—increase penile blood flow. Yet another advantage of this position is biological. When a female mammal is in estrus —in heat—she communicates this by getting on all fours and letting her back droop toward the ground, a position known by zoo guides as lordosis . Mammalian males—straight, gay, and bisexual men—love to see their partner in a lordotic position. Forget buying “fuck me” boots or giving a man the “come fuck me” look, when I speak of bringing sexy back, I’m talking about lordosis—with no offense to Mr. Timberlake.
What follows is a useful exercise in how one position can serve several purposes. Once you have mastered these steps, I encourage you to apply the principles for any position, adapting them according to your needs, your partner’s, or both.
Setting the Stage
Standard rear-entry requires both partners to be on their knees with at least one partner—the one being penetrated—to rest on their hands as well. With the variations that follow, knees, shins, palms, and elbows will benefit from the comfort of a soft surface.
Warm-Up
Just because the front of a woman’s body is out of sight during rear-entry doesn’t keep it out of mind. Sexplay can focus on her mouth, breasts, pubic mound, anus, clitoris, and everything else within sight and reach to provide maximum stimulation and pleasure. Because manual stimulation reaches so many different pleasure points in and on her, and because rear-entry places emphasis on the front top wall of her vagina, using ample lube with fingers can provide stimulation she won’t receive from sex alone.
“Keep in mind that no position is permanent. Similar to what we hear in other parts of our lives, change is good, and as your physical health, sexual health, and sexual abilities change, so will your positions.”

Many people, for various reasons, shy away from rear-entry: It’s impersonal, he comes too fast, she doesn’t come at all, or the family dog thinks of it as an invitation to jump on the bed.
Quite the opposite! With skill, lovers can enjoy rear-entry
