The Reverse Cowgirl Position

Reverse Cowgirl is a sexual position in which the receiver straddles their laying partner, and, unlike Cowgirl position, faces away from them. Like any receiver-on-top position, Reverse Cowgirl gives the receiver control of the extent and duration of penetration.

To get into this sex position, the penetrating partner lays flat on a supportive surface. The receiving partner squats down, on top of the penetrating partner, facing the penetrating partner's feet. The receiving partner can then experiment with leaning forwards and backwards to find the best angle to hit their innermost spot.

This position is also called reverse rider on top. If this position is used for anal, some people may call it Reverse Cowgirl Anal.

More About The Reverse Cowgirl Position

Reverse Cowgirl is a position that stimulates a person's G-spot/p-spot and also gives access to the clitoris or penis, opening up the possibility of additional manual stimulation.

Reverse Cowgirl also lends itself well to bringing sex toys into the bedroom. As the angle ensures a lot of open space around the receiving partner, any of your favorite sex toys, like penis strokers or wand vibrators, can easily fit into the action. A vibrator that's easy to hold in the palm, like the Wild Flower Enby 2 or the We-Vibe Touch X, can be a particularly fantastic addition. The receiver (or penetrating partner!) simply needs to hold the vibrator against the vulva for full stimulation. The wide shape of the vibe can ensure the pleasure continues - even while the movement of sex jostles both of your bodies.

The position can be used for vaginal and anal sex and is often used in porn because it provides a full-frontal view of the receiver. (This can make it a great fit for your own homemade movies as well!)

It's also an easy and accessible position for pregnant people.

The backwards lean may stress the back and core muscles of the receiving partner. If that's the case, the penetrating partner can use their hands to help support the receiving partner's chest - or the receiving partner can lean forward for a more upright position. You may need to experiment with the exact angle for this position as the backwards bend in the torso is part of what allows for the easy g-spot/p-spot stimulation.

Despite its name, the Reverse Cowgirl may be used between same sex couples. It lends itself well to strap-on harness and dildos too.

A deeper version of this position is called the Acrobat position.
