Science Says Doggy Style Is The Best Sex Position

For your back.

A few months ago, I went into detail about why you should hit it doggy whenever taking a female friend to pound town. I had my fair share of supporters, but now I have science behind me, motherfuckers.

You see, a group of scientists at the University of Waterloo in Ontario did research on what sex position was best…for men who suffer from back pain.

From the Daily Mail:

The researchers analysed information gathered by infrared and electromagnetic motion capture systems which documented how 10 couples moved when attempting five common positions.They then created a set of guidelines that recommended different positions and ‘thrusting techniques’ based on what triggered a man’s back pain.

The findings, published in the journal Spine, included a recommendation for men who were flexion-intolerant – meaning those whose back pain was made worse by touching their toes or sitting for long periods of time – who should replace spooning with doggy-style sex.

I’m generally interested in how these studies were conducted. Did these scientists have their own personal porno taking place before their eyes? Scratch that–10 pornos, and interactive at that, as they told the couples what positions to do next? All in the name of science.

Regardless, I’m just happy my opinion on the matter is now supported with cold, hard facts. Not only is doggy the best damn position in the game, it’s also the least stressful on your back. Don’t just do it for your enjoyment–do it for your long-term health. Or, at least use that as an excuse.

    I can’t even name 5 positions, much less use them all during the same sexual encounter.
