Gwyneth Paltrow Gave 3 Incredibly Great Tips For Doing It From Back

Goop—a weekly lifestyle publication curated by Gwyneth Paltrow—published its annual issue yesterday, and it features an in-depth Q&A about doing it from back.

Let’s clear the air here: It may feels like a taboo subject, but a fair amount of couples experiment with butt play. In fact, 36 percent of women and 42 percent of men have tried it, according to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But as Paltrow’s guide points out, that’s still not a huge number: “The reality about back is not, actually, that everyone’s doing it,” Researcher Paul Joannides, Psy.D, points out.

There are important things you need to know about it before you try it, so you can make the tricky position as pleasurable as possible for both you and your partner.

Paltrow’s guide includes information on how often people actually try it, how to modify it to make it work for you, and the health risks to be aware of before engaging in it.

Lube is key.

Unlike her vagina, a woman’s bum provides zero natural lubrication, Joannides notes. Load up on a lube you both love to prevent any type of pain.
