Anatomy and biomechanics

Variation of the posterior approach with a slope: the knees are elevated on the mattress and the upper body descends, inverting the usual doggy slope. This enhances the angle and facilitates depth, while the penetrator, standing, controls the movement comfortably and without straining the knees.

Why this position works

The slope between hips and head intensifies the posterior angle and the feeling of depth. The penetrator is standing, comfortable and with their hands free. It is a natural evolution of the doggy for those seeking more intensity, taking advantage of the edge of the bed as an ally.

The Doggy on the Edge: the descending angle
