What Are Backshots? (Explained With Pictures)

Your ultimate guide to backshots.

When it comes to bedroom maneuvers, there are a few terms that tend to get thrown around a lot — “69ing,” “missionary,” and, of course, the elusive “backshot.”

But what exactly is a backshot? And how do you achieve this supposed nirvana of sexual positions?

In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about backshots.

What Is a Backshot?

A backshot, also sometimes called doggy style or rear entry is when the penetrating partner enters the receptive partner from behind. Then pulls out and finishes on their partner’s back.

This can be done with either anal or vaginal intercourse.

Picture a man or woman on all fours (or on their knees). Their face is facing down toward the bed or ground. Their ass is in the air.

A partner with a penis or strap-on stands or kneels behind them. For explanation's sake, let’s say it’s a man behind a woman. As enters her from behind, she starts to gyrate her hips, thrusting herself backward toward his penis.

Thus, the name “backshots.”

As we mentioned, another important part of a backshot is when a penis-owning person finishes on his partner’s back (instead of inside of them or somewhere else).

According to Urban Dictionary:

To perform a backshot, you gotta screw somebody from behind, bareback. either hole will do. Now, when you pull out instead of blowin it internal-like, and jizz on her back, THAT’S a backshot. A good one will hit her hair, a great one will hit the far wall.

I like a good target.

Why Do People Like Backshots?

This position offers a number of benefits, including deeper penetration and increased clitoral stimulation.

However, it can also be somewhat messy.

When engaging in rear-entry intercourse, it is important to use plenty of lubricants to reduce friction and help prevent condom breakage. In addition, you may want to place a towel underneath you to help catch any lubricant or bodily fluids that are released.

If your partner expresses an interest in giving you backshots, be sure to have an honest conversation about your comfort level and any concerns you may have before proceeding.

With proper preparation and communication, backshots are a fun way to get down and doggie town.

Not to mention, the view from behind is pretty damn hot.

How To Do Backshots?

Assuming your partner is game, a backshot is a pretty straightforward sexual position.

The basic idea is that one partner gets down on all fours (or bends over) while the other penetrates the first partner from behind. You can either be standing or kneeling, whichever is more comfortable.

It’s kind of like this:

Once you’re in position, it’s just a matter of thrusting away until you both reach your climax.

Either the front or the rear partner can control the thrusts.

Here is a good clothes-on video of how to perform backshots.

Of course, there are various ways to spice things up if you’re looking for something more than the standard doggie-style experience.

For instance, you can:

• Change up the angle of penetration by leaning forwards or backward.
• Bring your partner closer to you by reaching around and grabbing them by the waist.
• Experiment with different speeds and depths of thrusting until you find what feels best
• You can use your free hands to grab their hips and really drive home each thrust.

Whatever you do, just make sure you communicate with each other so that everyone is on the same page and enjoying themselves.

And above all else, have fun.

Do Backshots Hurt?

Everyone has their own preferences.

Some people like it rough, while others prefer a more gentle approach. However, there is one thing that many people can agree on: backshots can be pretty darn pleasurable.

Whether you’re enjoying some solo time or exploring with a partner, there’s no denying that hitting the right spot can lead to some pretty intense sensations.

Of course, as with anything else, trial and error is often required in order to find what works best for you.

Different angles and speeds can produce different results, so it’s important to experiment until you find something that feels good. And don’t be afraid to ask for feedback from your partner — they may have some helpful insights that you didn’t consider.

As far as pain goes, it’s usually only a problem if you’re not properly aroused.

If you’re turned on and your muscles are relaxed, then chances are good that you won’t feel a thing. However, if you’re tense or nervous, then you may experience some discomfort. The key is to relax, go with the flow, and use lubrication.

I’m a big fan of coconut oil.

If a Guy Says He Wants To Give You Backshots, What Do You Say in Return?

If a guy says he wants to give you backshots, the best response is almost always a flirty one.

You could say something like, “I bet you would, wouldn’t you?” or “You couldn’t handle me.”

These responses let the guy know that you’re interested in him and that you’re up for a little bit of fun. If he persists, you could always up the ante by saying something like, “Depends on how you behave,” or “Wouldn’t that be the luckiest night of your life?”

Either way, it’s important to keep your cool and tease him about later possibilities.

This will keep a guy on his toes while still letting him know that he can definitely enjoy himself with you.

Do Guys Like backshots?

When it comes to bedroom pleasure, most guys know what they like.

And while every guy is different, there are some things that just about every guy enjoys. One of those things is a good backshot.

For guys, backshots give us deeper penetration, which can lead to more intense orgasms. In addition, the position provides ample opportunity for both partners to stimulate each other’s erogenous zones.

The guy can reach around and rub the woman’s clitoris or play with her breasts, while she can reach back and fondle his testicles or stroke his shaft. With both partners focused on pleasuring each other, it’s no wonder this position is so popular.

There is also something inherently thrilling about pulling out to empty ourselves on our lover’s back.

Do Women Like Backshots?

Women usually like back shots for similar reasons.

It’s a primal sexual position that gives the woman a deep and penetrative experience. When she’s thrusting her hips backward, she is asserting her sexual dominance.

There’s a reason this position is one of the most popular in the world for both men and women.

What Is the Meaning of “That You Would Be Getting Backshots Lmao?”

It’s a non-standard way of saying a sentence but the gist is that the person is referring to sexual backshots (doggie-style sex topped off with ejaculation on your back).

The LMAO, of course, means “laugh my ass off.”

It’s not completely clear if the person is joking or just trying to soften the sexual overtones.

What Are Backshots in Sports?

Like many other things in life, back shots have multiple meanings.

Before you respond to someone who says the word “backshots,” make sure you understand the context of the conversation.

A backshot in sports is any move that sends the ball behind the player.

The most common example is when a soccer player kicks the ball backward, between their legs, to another player. Another example is when a basketball player passes the ball behind their back to another player.

This is often done to confuse the defense or to avoid a steal.

Backshots can also be used to trick the opposing team, like when a fake pass is made and the ball is actually shot into the goal.
