Reverse Cowgirl |
If your partner has a vulva, there's a higher chance of orgasm when they're on top due to direct contact between their external clitoris and your body; the grinding can make a difference. Now, just because you're on the bottom, it doesn't mean playing a dead fish. Half of the good sex is enthusiasm and participation. Assuming your partner is into you getting the bottom, you can try thrusting from the bottom, stimulating their external clitoris, caressing their breast, or even engaging in some hot-making out, depending on the position.
Another cowgirl tip: Remember, it's not all about the rider moving up and down. That causes a lot of thigh burn. For maximum pleasure, have your partner try sliding back and forth in this position. Trust me, you will thank me later. That's the only adjustment that can make this position even more enjoyable for all parties involved. Variations on cowgirls help keep sex interesting.
If you're looking to get your cowgirl on, here are some simple and fun ways to change it up.
1. Classic cowgirl
How it works: You lie on your back, and your partner straddles you, sitting on you like a horse, their knees and shins pressed to the bed.
Why it is good: Your partner gets to take control. They can also tilt back and forward, allowing for control over the depth of penetration and potential G-spot stimulation.
2. Squatting cowgirl
It's similar to cowgirl, only instead of your partner straddling you, they have their soles planted on the bed in a squatting position.
Why it is good; With his position, you can grab your partner by the butt and thrust deep. So, even though they're on top, you're in control of the speed and motion. You can also get a lot of leverage in this position, which makes it both visually appealing and less of a thigh burn than the class reverse cowgirl position.
3. Reverse cowgirl
This one is just like the classic cowgirl; however, instead of your partner facing you, they are facing away from you.
Why it is good: It's all booty, right in your face.
4. The crab
The crab is similar to squatting cowgirl, only your partner leans back and supports their weight on their arms.
Why is it good; This position can allow for deep penetration, but also be tough physically. Start slowly to see if it works for you two. If it doesn't, switch back to squatting cowgirl.
5. Dead man's cowgirl
The receiver starts in a classic cowgirl position, then they swing one leg at a time around so that both are straight out behind them, on either side of the penetrating partner's outstretched legs.
The receiver will essentially be completely flush with their partner's body while their partner's penis is still inside the vagina. This position can take a bit of manoeuvring. So take your time swinging your legs around and next to your body. If it doesn't work the first time, you can also try again.
Why it is good: This position allows for a very unique sort of swallow penetration. In most instances, the penis won't be able to able to penetrate more than a few inches. It can feel intense and unique compared to other forms.
6. Man missionary
It's like missionary, but with you on your back. Your legs should be kept together, and your partner's legs should be straddling your sides. The easiest way to get into this position is to start with a classic cowgirl, then have your partner lean back.
Why is it good; It's a very intimate position that allows for kissing.
7. Lotus posit]ion
To get into a lotus position, you need to sit down with your legs crossed and pulled in close to your partner's body. Your partner should then sit on top of you, facing you. Then either wrap their legs around you or hold onto their back to help support them and keep your bodies closer together.
Why it is good: This position doesn't allow much thrusting, but it's another intimate pose that allows for hugging, kissing, caressing, and heavy eye contact.
8. Chair s&]x
While sitting in a chair, have your partner straddle you, face to face.
Why it is good: This position allows for thrusting or grinding, and it's great if your partner's legs aren't always up for squatting or deep straddling.
It also intimate position that lends itself well to kissing and eye contact.
9. The face sits
It's like reverse cowgirl, only that your partner is riding your face
In my humble opinion, this is the hottest position for oral sex if your partner has a vulva. It's also great if your partner likes to be dominant in the bedroom.
10. Sideways straddle
This one looks more complicated than it is. Lie down on your back with one of your knees bent. The sole of your foot should be on the bed. Have her straddle the bent knee while facing away from you. From there, she can insert your penis inside her and start grinding.
This position is more for her than it is for you. There isn't too much thrusting, but she can get organic clitoral stimulation by rubbing herself against your leg while bouncing up and down.
