I don't like doggy style?

I think there's something wrong with me. I don't like the doggy style position because it doesn't have any closeness or intimacy. It doesn't feel pleasurable to me because I need clitoral stimulation. And it tends to hurt easily in this position. Also, my ex raped me in this position. He pressured me to do it all the time when I don't like it for the reasons I just said, and then once he did it even though I didn't want to and I told him I was in a lot of pain and he didn't stop. It was horrible. I didn't like the position before this experience. I feel like there's something wrong with me. Do any other women not like it? And is it a problem for guys that I don't think I can ever do it again?

@ChetAtkins I can't reply because someone blocked me No, I don't need to have someone say they are the same way as me to not be upset by their reply. She told me why i felt pain in the position, when she actually has no idea why it doesn't work for my body, and she ignored that I don't like the position for emotional reasons. Like isn't it beyond stupid to tell someone who was raped in doggy style to try putting their head on the pillow? I don't ever want to do it. I never did.

  • I feel sad for you. But if you don't like that position, then why are you asking if you're wrong for feeling that way? How could you possibly be wrong about the way you feel?
    I was married to a rape victim, so I get it. It's a fucking train wreck. But your question seemed to focus on the sexual position, and Chocolate was trying to give you some advice. I get that it was a misunderstanding, but she really is a good person.
    Are you wrong for not liking that? NO! Is it going to haunt you later? YES.
    You're going to have your work cut out for you in explaining that to guys in your future, in such a way that doesn't make them feel like they're monsters for wanting that. The ball's in your court. Just have good communication skills and he'll understand.

    • Chocolate told someone who was rapped in the doggy style position that they should try it with their head on the pillow. Stupid! I mean, I don't want to make anyone feel like a monster. But my ex raped me in that position and besides that I was pressured to do it all the time. So if a guy asked me to do it again I would be depressed and not want to have sex at all.

    • I hate to be critical of other people's questions, because I know what it's like to have your question picked apart. I've asked a simple pole question with two options, and stupid people can't figure it out. But this is where I think your question jumped the track. You talked about doggy being painful. So that was what she was focusing on. You should of focused more on your trust issues, and left the pain part out. She would have either avoided your question or given you different advice. I know what this is like. I've been there. It's a living hell. The rapist didn't just rape you, he raped every relationship you will ever have. You are already experiencing this, so you know what I mean. I hope he rots in hell.

    • You hope he rots in hell, and yet if you were my boyfriend would you expect doggy style and ask me repeatedly to do it? Isn't that what guys do?

  • Doggy is among the most popular positions for men.
    That doesn't mean that you *have* to do it though.
    While I'm sure there's *some* men out there that don't want a girlfriend that don't do doggy you can probably make up for that in other ways with most guys.

    I'm sorry you had that experience.
    I hope you'll change your mind some day though as it genuinly can be quite a nice experience for you girls too.

    • I don't see how it is nice ever. It doesn't feel good, there's a complete lack of connection, it hurts. Its a position for men.

    • Your response was good except for i hope you'll change your mind. That's not the focus now. I'm not interested in deciding to start doing it. It was never good for me and even worse after I was raped. I hope I can have a normal relationship, not necessarily do this

    • No, it's *not* a "position for men". A lot of women genuinly enjoy it. After all, mammal sex evolved with that position to start with... As for the connection, well there being a connection or not depends a lot on your mindset while having it. And I hope you'll change your mind because you're losing out on the positive aspects of it. But I fully understand *why* you don't feel like trying it out again anytime soon. And like I mentioned, you can make up for it. I suggest looking into pompoir and kabazzah. And ok, doggy isn't your thing, but what about spooning, is that ok for you? As for your rape, yes, it's clearly a bad experience and I'm very sorry that you had to experience that. That said, you still *choose* how you think about it to some degree even if it might not feel like you do. It takes a lot of effort as you have to overcome long throdden pathways in your brain to do so. But neuroplasticity is a thing.

  • Just preference I guess, but I get that it's annoying as hell. Every guy that fucks me wants to start banging from behind as soon as they can. And I notice from their behavior that that is what they've been waiting for all night. They lose control, start slapping, grunt a lot louder and usually cum in that position. I think my entire sex life exists of 50% doggy, 30% blowjobs and 20% for all the rest. That might say more about me and the guys I have sex with, but still.

    • Right, the difference between me and you is you allow yourself to be treated like a toy. Sorry.

    • why do you think I let myself get treated as a toy?

  • That doesn't mean something is wrong with you. You just like what you like, and don't like what you don't like. It's your body and you get to decide.

  • You're a depressed and angry girl. I feel your pain.

    But I truly hope that you can learn to survive the rape.

    Do it not just for yourself but for your future husband.

    Doggy style is not something fetish or taboo. It's a natural sex position and could be very intimate.

    I can't offer much advice, but I like to suggest, choose vulnerability. This can come from a man you can trust. Seek such a man out and work with him to free your mind of the past.

    Doggy style can give you man a lot of pleasure. So learn to enjoy it not just for yourself but for your man.

    You will then find sex and relationships more fulfilling.

  • Clearly you and doggy are a bit estranged. I can only tell you my perspective while being as respectful as possible. i am genuinely sorry for what happened to you.

    For me doggy is about a number of things.
    1) I'm an inveterate bubble butt man and I love to look at hers. Doggy is the best position for that. I have found that if I vary the angle as I thrust, I can stimulate her clit and hit her G-Spot, much to her delight.
    2) I'm a very dominant, somewhat aggressive lover which my ladies love, Doggy is a very dominant position for him and a very submissive position for her and a lot of hers love that about it.
    3) I have a bit of a sadistic side sexually.. One of my favorite forms of foreplay is spanking and using my magic fingers on her while she's over my knee.
    4) Finally, I am a huge fan of anal sex. Doggy readily facilitates that.

    Questions?

    • I couldn't care less about your dominant aggressive lacking in intimacy sexual desires. You didn't even answer my question.

    • I did answer your question. The women I'm with love it. They like the deeper penetration etc. It would depend on the guy if he could give up doggy.

    • Great, thanks for confirming that I'm not normal. I hate myself enoigh.

  • Why should there be anything wrong with you for not enjoying a particular sex position? We all have preferences.

    • Because the guys I've been with tell me all other girls like it, but to me I feel no pleasure and I don't like not feeling close to someone when I'm having sex with them. Especially after I was raped doing doggy style.

    • Understandable. People are different. "All other girls like it" is not a good reason why you should. That's kind of like saying "all other girls like pineapple on their pizzas, so..." You're different. That's fine. I doubt you're the only one, anyway.

    • So do you think all other girls like it? How come it feels good to other girls if it doesn't touch your clit, it pokes your cervix, and its not intimate at all? I really feel bad about myself and not normal.

  • there's nothing wrong with not liking doggy. Everyone has certain positions that they like or don't like. Clearly this position also has other implications for you and why you might not like it. It's clear that you're more of an intimate clothes person when it comes to sexual intimacy. Some people like it more rough some people like it more sensual you're clearly just one of the more sensual ones. Nothing wrong with that. we just need to make sure you communicate that with future partners to make sure that both people are having their needs met and it's pleasurable for both of you. Especially with knowing your past and how certain things can upset you or trigger that flashback communication for you is going to be especially important.

  • No there is nothing wrong with u you simply don't like it lol

    • But my exes told me all other girls like it.

    • And are u them other girls if i like meat and u don't is there somthing wrong with u? Come on hun don't let yourself be told how u should be

    • But my ex would show me porn, that most porn is doggy style. And he would pressure me to do it when I didn't, and threaten to leave me. The fact that he didn't want to be with me because of this, makes me think its really important to guys and I'm weird.

  • There's nothing wrong with you. I entirely agree.

  • If it hurts, you're either not turned on enough, or your butt isn't high enough in the air. Your head needs to be on a pillow.

    • I don't want to put my head on the pillow. I would never have sex with someone with my head on a pillow and my butt in the air.

    • Welp, your loss.

    • Also, I am not turned on by doggy style. Even if I were turned on, when a guy brought it up, I'm not turned on anymore.

  • ME EITHER 😝😝😝😝

    • good to know im not alone did you also have a guys you were with pressure you to do it when you didn't want to

    • Yes when I was in college this guy called me every night to come to my dorm but I was on my period. So I told him no several times. Eventually I gave in and He got a kiss from me. I hated it and I brushed my teeth for weeks. Later I found out i had MONO. Oh and this guy smoked weed.

  • After the first time your ex forced you into that position, why didn’t you leave him?

    • It did end pretty soon after, and relationships aren't all bad or good, its not so simple

    • But you said he “pressured you to do it all the time”. Why even continue to be around him.

    • We're not together anymore and your comments are irrelevant and unhelpful

  • Well it's unfortunate what happened but there loads of other positions out there you can try and so long as your partner is considerate if your feelings.

  • Simply communicate this to your partner. Done deal. You don't have to go on and on about it, just be clear about your needs and wants. If he doesn't wish to comply then dump him and find one who does.

  • i don't like it for the same reason xD nothing wrong with that.

  • If you don't like it, don't do it.

    • But look how many guys here think its important How can I not?

  • Your reaction is normal although you should consider going to therapy and find a support group. Who ever get to be your boyfriend has to be comprehensive, at the same time you gotta be in peace with yourself otherwise you won't give your 100% in any relation you begging.

    My ex didn't like it neither. Hmm, honestly she didn't like other things. I couldn't understand why. After a 3 years relation I want to believe she didn't suffer sexual abuse, but it was a LDR. I know for sure I don't know many thing from her.

    • Thanks. Also why would your girlfriend have suffered sexual abuse? From you?

    • Not from me 😐, but she was very insecure about many things, and she viewed having something sexual as a problem. There are other things she said that got me wondering. Can I PM you? I rather mention the other parts in PM.

  • "Is it a problem for guys that" Well... yeah maybe. It depends on the guy. I know I wouldn't want to be with a girl that was sexually restrictive. I hear what you're saying about what happened to you, and I don't blame you for feeling the way you do, because it's fine-- it just isn't going to be compatible with a lot of guys, no. But that doesn't mean that it's not possible that you will somehow find a guy that's okay with it, because who knows? maybe you will.

    • Maybe I will? wth i guess it is a problem i can't do this

    • Yes... maybe you will. What's the problem here

  • Really? Yes it is the most commonly liked position by females... but not universal.
    Plus given your experience with ex boyfriend why in hell would it ever equal a way to share love with a partner for you.

    Nothing wrong with your preferences. As to a partner of he is caring at all and knowing of this will enjoy all other positions you guys can share together. Like cowgirl or missionary... both allowing gaze into each others eyes... hearing each others eager breaths... kisses while he is deep inside u...

    • Yes, my exes also told me most girls like it. That's why I think there's something wrong with me. You're just confirming that. Guys have left me because I won't do it. They can always find someone who will. I don't know how I can be in a relationship

    • Those guys are shallow and stupid if that's the truth or using as an excuse to cover for other reasons. Answer me this... you have no problem with cowgirl? Sitting on a table while I (hypothetical... lol...) thrust between your legs? On yr back with your ankles around my neck ( my god I love that one... deep inside that way) Umm... let's see? You give/receive oral? Stroke yr partners' cock with your hand? Swallow? Dunno if everything there is good with you but so much more is possible that one position should not be a dealbreaker.

    • yes i do all those things

  • Ain't nothing wrong with that.
    There is no wrong position in sex. I didn't like doggy much either, but I came around to it. lol

    • Yes, you came around to it. I don't think I ever can. I tried, it sucked, and I was even raped because I didn't want it and he did it anyways. Now I hate it.

    • Then, don't do it. You can explain this to your boyfriend about it. Also, there are other positions that can simulate the doggy style for HIM while NOT being that for you, like spooning.

    • Spooning is not at all like doggy style. Spooing I'm being hugged. Doggy style I'm very far away and it hurts

  • Do what u like girl

  • I wouldn't have a problem with that, it's fun and i love how that angle feels on my cock but no, it's not a requirement.

  • it's not my favorite either... I actually prefer missionary or some variant of it. I like kissing and being in control

    • Okay but technically any position you can be in control

    • @shootingstar112 that is true but I feel most in control in certain missionary positions

    • well you know sex really shouldn't be about control.
