If Your Partner Always Asks You to Do It from Behind, Itās Because Heā¦
(ā¦has some surprising reasons you didnāt expect!)
Letās just say it: if your man always wants to do it from behindāno matter the time, place, or how good your new satin nightgown looks from the frontāyou might be wondering⦠āWhatās really going on in his head?ā
Donāt worry, weāre going to get to the bottom of it. Literally.
First Things First: Itās Not Always What You Think
Sure, the āfrom behindā position (weāre talking about spooning, back hugs, slow dancing in the kitchen⦠you know, totally innocent stuff ) has a certain vibe. But believe it or not, thereās actual science and psychology behind position preferences.
Dr. Ian Kerner, a certified sex therapist and author of She Comes First, explains that peopleās favorite positions often say less about lust and more about comfort zones, emotional intimacy, and yesācontrol dynamics.
Letās dig in.
1. He Might Be More Visually Wired
Men are visual creatures. Studies from the Kinsey Institute confirm thisāmen respond more to visual stimuli during intimacy than women do.
If your back is to him, your curves are the center of attention. From the dip of your lower back to the sway of your hips in that midnight-blue satin slipāheās in visual heaven.
Think of it as his personal 4K IMAX feature. And youāre the star.
2. He Might Struggle with Eye Contact
Now weāre getting psychological.
Some people, even in loving relationships, have a tough time with vulnerability. And whatās more vulnerable than looking your partner straight in the eye while being emotionally (and physically) exposed?
For those who grew up in emotionally closed households or struggle with intimacy, āfrom behindā feels safer. Less pressure. Less intense.
Itās not rejectionāitās a coping mechanism.
3. He May Associate It with Passion and Confidence
Letās be real: that position has some primal energy.
According to a 2021 study by the Journal of Sex Research, many people associate it with spontaneity, raw passion, and a certain confidence. Itās the kind of thing people might try when they feel boldāor when they feel very comfortable with their partner.
So if heās asking for it often, maybe he just really trusts youāand wants to explore that edge together.
4. He Might Just⦠Like the Angle
No need to overthink it. Sometimes itās just logistics.
Different positions create different sensations, and some just āhit different.ā Literally. A 2018 clinical study from the University of Florence found that certain positions enhance physical satisfaction for men by up to 25% based on angle and depth.
Translation? He might just be chasing the optimal physics. And letās face itāyouāre giving him the view, the feel, and the thrill.
5. What Does It Mean for You?
This isnāt about what he likesāitās about whether youāre both getting what you need.
Are you being heard? Are you feeling sexy, connected, and satisfied? Relationships arenāt about just doing what he wantsātheyāre about finding that spicy, laughter-filled middle ground.
If youāre loving the vibe, great! If youāre feeling objectified or neglectedāsay something.
No judgment. Just good communication.
Bible Says What?
Yes, letās go there. Because the Bible has a lot to say about intimacyāmaybe not positions, but certainly intention.
1 Corinthians 7:3-4 says:
āThe husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.ā
Translation: Mutual pleasure. Mutual respect. Mutual desire.
Itās not about whoās āon topā (literally or metaphorically)āitās about giving your partner joy, and receiving it in return.
Bottom Line (pun fully intended):
If he always asks for it from behind, it doesnāt mean heās selfish. It could mean he:
- Trusts you deeply
- Feels visually inspired
- Has subconscious emotional patterns
- Or just likes how your booty looks in silk
Whatever the reason, donāt forget: Youāre allowed to ask for what you want too.
Because great relationships are built on more than just positions. Theyāre built on laughter, love, faith, and those moments when you both look at each other after and say, āOkay, that was amazing.ā
Now go ahead and walk across that bedroom in your blue satin nightie with confidence. Youāve got the power, the presenceāand now, the perspective.
