-= REAR ENTRY =-

The other human option - for most mammals it's the only one. Works admirably standing, lying, kneeling, sitting, or with the woman astride. The lack of face-to-faceness is more than compensated for by extra depth and buttock stimulation, hand access to breasts and clitoris, and the sight of a pretty rear view. For the standing positions she needs something of the right height to support her - in the head-down kneeling positions you need to be careful not to push her face into the mattress, and in all of the de variants you need to avoid going too deep too hard, or you will hit an ovary, which is as painful as hitting a testicle. A few women are put off by the symbolism - "doing it like animals," "not being valued if we aren't face to face" - but the physical payoff is so intense that they shouldn't allow these feelings to make them miss it. They could try it first with the man lying on his back and the woman lying face up on top of him, or kneeling astride facing away, though these don't give the unique depth and total perineal stimulation of the rear kneeling positions. The man can hold her breasts or pubis, or, if she likes to be controlled, grasp her wrists behind her. A pile of hard pillows under her middle will help to prevent the position collapsing if she doesn't like being forcibly held, or she can kneel on the floor with her chest on the bed or a chair-seat. The head-down position is best for depth and total apposition - avoid it if it hurts her, or if she has a weak back, or if she is pregnant. Some women like a finger on the clitoris during intercourse, either his or hers, and this is easy in all rear positions. It's worth trying in any case, as it totally alters the range of sensation. Grasping the whole pussy in one hand gives a different sensation again and doesn't give the excessive sharpness which comes from strong clitoral stimulation. Or you can withdraw briefly and give a few clitoral strokes with the glans, guiding it with your hand. While the deep kneeling position is, or can be, one of the toughest, from behind on your sides is about the gentlest (a la paresseuse - the lazy position) and can even be done in sleep - best if she draws her top thigh up a little and sticks her bottom out. This is one position which, in many women, can be managed with very little or even no erection; it can help to cure partial impotence or nervousness on the male side by restoring morale. It';;;;s also excellent if you want it gentle for health reasons. It's well worth experimenting with the full range of rear positions at least as fully as with the face-to-face series, because there will be at least one you'll almost certainly use regularly along with the matrimonial, and its variants, and the wonan-astride position.
