Hi y’all,

I’ve just discovered that community and I’m putting all my hopes in you guys. I have an extremely bad case of DE on my right foot. It appeared first a year ago, lasted a few months, and was eventually solved after a weeks long treatment of prescription betamethasone ointment…

Only to be back this year with a vengeance. Summer and dry, hot weather, makes it particularly bad. I’ve just now completed a two weeks treatment of betamethasone cream again, and while the main original lesions have normalized, I noticed two new clusters of blisters just this morning. It’s depressing.

My foot is in such a bad shape. I have extensive scaling of extremely thick hardened skin all along both sides of my foot and part of the sole. I have crevices and cracks that hurt so bad. In between the topical steroids I moisturize religiously but the damage is so bad, it seems like doing nothing at all.

I can take the long healing but if new blisters appear the literal day I’m supposed to stop treatment… then what ? It looks like the corticosteroids don’t even work as well as they used to.

To top it all off my family GP has moved out of our area and I have to rely on urgent care doctors who change every time for now. Some of them don’t even seem to know what DE is ? But most importantly, I have no idea what causes those flares, I’ve switched up soaps a million times and only use one product to moisturize, which is pharmaceutical grade. I wondered for a while if I might have a silent fungal infection that could trigger it, but nobody doctor seems to think it’s the case and no testing was done. Plus a blister appeared on my my left hand finger last week so it doesn’t seem to be tied to one location.

If we get down to the technicality of it, I feel strongly (as a woman) about doggy being the absolute best sex position in the book. Let me make my case here.

Missionary had a decent run. Cowgirl can quickly turn in a full-on quad workout. But doggy, however, being far less passive than the former while less physically demanding than the latter, is the golden standard of a fair distribution of labor. The master key to active participation without the cardio tax.

Doggy is the champion of versatility, you can get down to it in about every circumstances. You can sneak a quick one without even stripping your clothes off. By far the most practical on any kind of terrain, with standing and kneeling options, it also keeps anything potentially uncomfortable or unsanitary away from the nitty gritty. Beds, couches, showers, walls, floors, counters, elevators… even camping, doggy adapts like a survivalist. It’s literally sex freed of environmental requirements, it can happen anywhere, like an opportunistic lifeform.

From a biomechanics perspective, doggy is the modular platform to the entire Kama Sutra. With ample room for movement, a single hip tilt allows you to reach utterly pleasurable regions. Angle customization at its finest, it also offers all sorts of variations of arching, leg spacing, shoulder height that will alter the sensation without suspending the groove. What else ? It also allows you to easily get to your clit for added stimulation. It will tolerate any variation of depth, rythm and velocity conceivable, again with minimal physical strain and basically no risk of slipping out. Pointing the obvious, no other position makes anal sex a more suggestive and readily available option. And quite frankly, no position suits better to swinging shenanigans. Whether we’re talking partner switching or group play logistics, doggy means absolute industrial efficiency : access open, transitions are fluid, visibility is excellent, nobody has to perform advanced maneuvers to stay involved. At this point it stops being just a position, it’s a literal sex infrastructure.

But that’s not all ! Your partner gets the pleasure of a truly amazing view, while not compromising on full body access. They can grab your hips, breasts, hair, throat, stimulate your clit, smack your butt… or lay back and leave you in charge.

All flavors of sex are doggy compatible. From leaning on your back, kissing your neck and whispering sweet nothings in your ear to primal railing, butt spanking fury with a foot on your face, doggy scores high on mood compatibility.

There is a doggy for everyone, every day and every space you could possibly imagine. You could probably marathon through 365 days of doggy and it being something different every single time. Dang, doggy is so great it will make you love getting rug burns. Nothing beats it for real.

Do you have anything to add to this eulogy ? What are your thoughts? And thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
