I've often wondered why so many males and females like doggy as much as they do (see my previous thread for how I get distracting thoughts lol).
I think it comes down to a few things.
1) A nice round (plump isn't the best word but the only one that springs to mind) butt and hips (the view from behind), is probably a good evolutionary cue to our lizard brains that child bearing would be likely successful.
Please any lady viewing, I am not actually saying you are all breeding machines, just trying to describe a lizard brain concept.
2) This links to the first.
It feels primal.
I'm no evolutionary biologist, prehistoric archeologist, etc, but I suspect that at the dawn of humanity, doggy was just how it was done, like all the other animals.
So our brain is just cued to it.
3) I have heard from women in the past, that the penetration feels deeper and potentially more satisfying.
I can't speak to this apart from what I have been told.
4) There is a dominant/submissive thing to it.
Again I am not saying that everyone is, or even should be, into dom/sub.
But if you are wired that way, then I suspect that is an aspect.
5) In the context of punting, but in general too, it is a position that allows one or both partners to fantasize as they cannot see each other's face.
Which probably helps WGs when they are presented with a client that might be better living under a bridge (no comment on me being such a troll lol).
Righto oh, there's my undiagnosed autistic and massively over-analised musings on the matter.
As some of my uni lecturers would have completed after a long winded set of theories ... discuss
