How do I...arch better? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) by AnxiousMiisha@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone

This is going to be really dumb, but please bear with me...

I know I'm supposed to arch my back during doggystyle. I do know that. And I do my best! I honestly try to put effort into it. But, it still just looks...kinda male-ish?
I can't really go face down, ass up comfortably. My lower back seems, honestly, flexible enough, however there's a problem around my shoulder area. It just seems like my shoulders won't let me go any lower? If that makes sense?

I've tried cat-cow pose, puppy pose, child's pose and a couple of other stretches, but I'm not really sure if it's even possible, to do what I'm trying to do.
This is clearly an exaggeration, but this is like...the ultimate goal ๐Ÿ˜†
The reason I'm making this post...this may be dumb, insensitive and maybe a bit misogynistic of me, but could this be just an anatomy difference? What I mean is, do cis women just have a different curve to their spine or is this just a flexibility thing? If I practice enough...can I achieve something even remotely similar to this?
And yes, I'm aware that not every cis women can do this. Please don't kill me ๐Ÿ˜ญ

This post is extremely dumb. I know that and I'm sorry. It's just that my curiosity is killing me. I've been wondering about this thing since I moved in with my bf and I felt like this might be a safe place to ask this kind of thing...

So...if I do enough yoga, can I make this work? Or is there some fundamental anatomical reason that this would be impossible for me? Thanks so much in advance โค๏ธ

Have you asked your boyfriend if he can push you down? Force from the outside can help your muscels to relax and to actually reach a better position.

For this, your BF should put bis palm between your shoulder blades and push down with gentle force. If head and shoulders are down, bis hand is put further back in your back, working the arch inch by inch. At some point you will probably feel where the missing flexibility or even blockage is. Then you can work on this part with stretching and unblocking.

Happy arching.

(I use Arch, btw)

So do I, Arch is good ๐Ÿ˜„

Have you asked your boyfriend if he can push you down?

Of course I have ๐Ÿ˜‚. Many times actually, but he never has. He says it's not what he's into...
This sounds like a great idea tho. Just slowly, inch by inch. That might actually work. I mean, even if nothing else...being pushed down by my bf sounds pretty damn hot ๐Ÿคญ
Thank you ๐Ÿฉท

Well, if my special other person would tell me "I have this goal in mind, can you help me?" then I would, regardless of any kinks.

While he is pushing you down you should spread your cheeks with your hands. Makes sure that only your head and shoulders are touching the ground and also shows what a good girl your are. Don't resist the pushing.

Who is a good girl? You're a good girl!

Also, already spreading your cheeks standing while pushing your shoulders back should help you staying upright.

Now unclench your teeth and force your shoulders down.

Yesss, I've noticed that. When leaning against a wall for my bf...it helps quite a bit ๐Ÿคญ
