Height difference in dating is quite normal and usually does not incur too many awkward moments. However, every now and then we are faced with some logistical challenges when it comes to our loved one.

So, no matter what you're working with, this fully modifiable sex position will get all couples to the height of pleasure (wink wink):
Adjustable Doggy
Doggy is a global favourite when it comes to sex positions, and for good reason.

The receiver can change their height in two ways.
