I may not have performed thousands of pelvic exams as has our resident MD, but I’ve bumped my wife’s ovary during some vigorous sex and have never made the same mistake again. Nothing like it to immediately dampen the mood.
As to doggie style, it also allows for an incredibly erotic visual.
Will someone please turn up the air conditioning?

And of course if one is using a strap-on implement on another gal, you have to be very careful, since there is no sense of “feel” from the top to tell if you are going too deep or hitting against anything. You really have to be very careful and watch her reactions, and once you find a good place/depth, not deviate from it too much.

I know, with gay men, if the “top” has a curved penis (upward, downward, or sideways), switching to doggie-style can be an entirely different experience - sometimes better, sometimes worse. Plus, we have the added bonus of a prostate. \*\*
Um…what!!!
I was under the impression that ‘doggie-style’ was the term for rear-entry into a vagina. How does it work for gay men? Isn’t it usually rear entry since, well, they’re actually entering the rear?
Please educate a hetero on the different male-on-male positions, and which are most common.

Might be TMI for y’all, but . . .
My own personal experience, since I couldn’t really speak for other women, heh.
I’ve been whacked in the cervic several times by my fiance (a long guy, who gets caught up in the moment sometimes). It’s incredibly painful. I’d go far enough to say that it’s more painful than all of my piercings at tats combined, lol. I’m usually left in a ball, crying. Maybe I’m just a wuss, by sweet zombie jesus, it hurts.
Sometimes, it happens even in Missionary, but that’s not as bad (I’m assuming because the penetration isn’t as deep).
I’m quite hesitant to do Doggie at all because a) greater threat of more intense cervical pain, b) he curves up, so the sensation of being rubbed mostly on, er, the bottom of my vagina feels strange, c) it’s really just not as good, and d) it’s straining on my knees, elbows, shoulders, etc. Whatever I’m using to prop myself up on.
I do occasionally do DS for him, but it’s really more cons than pros for me.
And now I feel dirty. Thanks.
