What is the downward dog sex position? Plus, how to do this yoga-inspired move right

While there are normally very few overlaps between the worlds of yoga and sex, the downward dog sex position is one of them. It's named after the traditional mat-based move after all and looks identical - well, almost identical.

When built in as part of a yoga routine, the downward dog has several benefits, including elongating the spine, strengthening the hands, wrists, and fingers, stretching out the hamstrings, and improving circulation. Who's to say you can't reap all those benefits when you perform the move in the bedroom too? Combined with all the benefits of having an orgasm, it sounds like a winner to us.
