The argument for and against ‘doggystyle’

An Ask Men.com article says that men who like doggystyle, “enjoy demeaning women (i.e. they’re insecure).”

But an article from the Frisky describes a woman’s excitement about her first time having sex in the doggy position.

So, who’s right? It depends on the person, to be honest with you. Women, so people think, want to look into their lover’s eyes as they’re making love. Not all the time. Do you think Two Live Crew sold millions of records to men alone?

Besides, the Frisky writer said this about her first time doing it doggystyle:

When Adam entered me from behind, it just slid in. He told me to put my face down on my mattress, to arch my ass up. No pain, no burning, no pressure: just me, face down on the mattress, with him behind me.

That’s how we f**ked and it became my favorite way to f**k. I was having the sex of my fantasies and it actually felt like the sex of my fantasies. Doggy-style didn’t scare me anymore; I didn’t believe any man was only going to hurt me.

But Ask Men.com paints this picture of a man who enjoys the position:

You have a real disdain toward women, and you try and degrade them any chance you get. This stems from deep insecurities rooted in the many rejections you suffered in high school, mostly due to your overwhelming acne and your complete inability to express yourself through fashion. Now that your face has cleared up and you’ve read a couple of AskMen fashion articles, girls actually want to have sex with you (after a few martinis) — and this is your chance for payback. Doggy style is the best way for you to completely demean your partner by implementing any one of the following: the Donkey Punch, the Ram, the Bucking Bronco, and your all-time favorite, the Dirty Sanchez.
