Looking to make foreplay more exciting? In this guide we focus on hotdogging, also commonly called an assjob.
Here we cover everything you need to understand this partnered activity:
- What hotdogging is
- How and why people practise it
- Positions you can try
- Tips to improve comfort and sensation
- How it can be experienced solo
These explanations will help you understand the technique and enjoy it more naturally. Let’s get started.
1) What is hotdogging?
Hotdogging, sometimes referred to as an assjob or technically as intergluteal sex, is a partnered sexual practice. It involves stimulating the penis between a partner’s buttocks. Often used during foreplay, it can increase arousal before penetration or be enjoyed on its own.
It can be practised by heterosexual and same sex couples alike and may also be used to finish a moment of intimacy without penetration.
2) How do you stimulate with the buttocks?
Start by choosing a comfortable position for both partners. Then place the penis between the buttocks. Adding lubricant helps the movement remain smooth and prevents discomfort. Hands can also be used to keep alignment steady.
The technique itself is simple, but small adjustments and suitable positions can greatly improve the experience.
3) How to make hotdogging feel better
Understanding the basic movement is only the first step. To make the sensation more enjoyable, it helps to focus on comfort, rhythm and shared involvement. Below you will find practical tips followed by positions that work particularly well.
A) Hotdogging: tips and advice
We will explain why lubrication matters, how to keep the penis comfortably positioned, and how to adjust pace and pressure. We will also look at partner comfort and how clothing or surroundings can make the moment more sensual.
1) Lubrication and comfort
Start with the most important tip: lubrication. During any intimate activity, using lubricant helps movement stay smooth and more comfortable. The same applies to hotdogging. Apply a small amount to the buttocks and the penis before beginning.
Some warming or cooling lubricants can also slightly change sensation and make the experience more enjoyable.
2) Maintaining contact
To keep stimulation consistent, the penis should remain positioned between the buttocks. Placing your hands gently along the hips helps keep alignment steady. If the partner has fuller curves, gently pressing the buttocks together can also maintain contact.
3) Take your time
Slow movement usually feels better than rushing. Focus on steady rhythm and gentle motion rather than speed. Gradually building intensity often increases arousal for both partners.
4) Include your partner
Shared enjoyment makes the experience more satisfying. While moving, you can stimulate your partner at the same time through touch or closeness so both remain engaged in the moment.
5) Clothing and fantasy
Changing clothing can influence mood and confidence. Different outfits or styles may make the moment feel more playful and relaxed, which can enhance the overall experience.
6) Lingerie
Lingerie can add visual appeal and help partners feel more confident. Some couples also find that light fabric creates additional sensation while maintaining close contact.
B) Positions to try
Below are a few positions that work well for hotdogging. They are simple to try and allow comfortable movement. Many variations exist, so feel free to experiment and adapt them to what feels natural.
a) Rear position
This well known position is often the easiest starting point. Simply place the penis between the partner’s buttocks and begin gentle movement.
It also makes it easier to stimulate your partner at the same time, turning the experience into shared stimulation rather than a one sided activity.
b) The scorpion position
This position is less commonly known but can feel very intimate. Partners stay close together, allowing hotdogging to be practised while maintaining body contact and gentle touch. Kissing and slow movement often increase anticipation before moving on to something else if desired.
c) Side by side
In this position, partners remain close with easy access to each other’s bodies. The penis moves between the buttocks while both partners can touch and guide the rhythm. It also allows a natural transition to other forms of intimacy if wanted.
d) Reverse seated position
In this variation, the partner on top controls the movement using their hips while keeping the penis positioned between the buttocks. This lets one partner relax while the other sets the pace, creating consistent sensation through repeated movement.
4) Why try this practice?
If you are unsure about trying it, there are several reasons couples include it in foreplay. Slowing down, exploring touch and taking time together often improves connection and overall comfort during intimacy. Approaching intimacy gradually can make the experience feel more relaxed and enjoyable for both partners.
a) Suitable for any couple
Whether you are a heterosexual or same sex couple, hotdogging can be practised easily. Unlike some activities that depend on specific anatomy, this one remains accessible to almost everyone and can be enjoyed without pressure or expectations.
b) An alternative to other techniques
This practice can also be useful when other forms of stimulation feel impractical or uncomfortable. Because intergluteal sex relies mainly on positioning rather than body shape, it provides a relaxed alternative while keeping physical closeness.
c) Variety and playfulness
Many couples look for small ways to add novelty to their routine. Trying different forms of touch can increase excitement and help partners discover new preferences together.
d) The sensitivity of the buttocks
The buttocks are a sensitive part of the body and respond strongly to touch. Focusing on this area, whether gently or more firmly depending on preference, can enhance arousal while keeping the experience comfortable.
e) Shared experience
Rather than focusing only on solo stimulation, this activity encourages interaction. Paying attention to each other’s reactions and adapting movement helps maintain a sense of connection and mutual enjoyment.
5) Can you do it alone?
It is also possible to recreate a similar sensation solo using dedicated toys designed for male stimulation.
Realistic buttocks masturbators
Some realistic male masturbators replicate body contours and allow a similar movement pattern. Used with lubricant, they can imitate the pressure experienced during partnered hotdogging.
Silicone dolls
Full size silicone dolls can also allow similar positioning, although they require more space and are typically more expensive. They offer a static alternative for those curious about the sensation.
6) Try it and see what you think
You now understand how hotdogging works and how to practise it comfortably. With communication and experimentation, it can become another simple way to explore intimacy and variety together.
