Cowgirl Position - 42 Ways To Ride a Man

---

---

The Cowgirl sex position confidently ranks among the top three most popular and frequently used positions for sex, along with the Missionary and Doggy Style. This is exactly the position in which a woman can really f**k a man up properly!)

But despite its popularity, not everyone fully taps into the immense pleasure potential that riding position can offer to both partners.

Let’s unveil the mystery and delve into why both men and women love the Cowgirl position, what techniques and tricks can be applied, and how to enhance and diversify it for maximum pleasure.

What is the Cowgirl position and how does it look?

The Cowgirl position is a variation of the woman-on-top positions. In its classic form, the man lies on his back, and the woman straddles him, facing towards him.

There are also other variations, which we will discuss below. But for now, let’s talk about the advantages of this position.

Advantages of the Cowgirl position

• For women. The Cowgirl position allows to take control and have full authority over the sexual experience. This gives certain advantages when it comes to reaching orgasm during sex because only the woman knows (feels) the pace, angle, and depth that provide maximum pleasure. Additionally, many women are aroused by the feeling of dominance and power over their partner and their pleasure.
• For men. The Cowgirl position offers the opportunity to passively receive pleasure and enjoy the sight of their naked partner riding them with excitement. Having free hands allows men to touch and stimulate the most pleasurable areas of a woman’s body. Moreover, some men find great enjoyment in being at the mercy of a dominant woman and reveling in her control.

Overall, the Cowgirl position offers a perfect balance of power dynamics, intimate connection, and mutual pleasure.

What does a man do in the Cowgirl position?

He lies back and enjoys! 😉 But in reality, it’s not always the case. For the woman, this position can be quite tiring, so even when she is on top, the man can take the initiative and become more active.

For example, after the woman has been active, she can lean forward and support herself on her hands (kind of like getting on all fours). The man, being underneath, can grab her buttocks (or waist), pull her closer, and initiate thrusting from below.

 

In the Cowgirl position, the man has free hands, so he can easily touch and provide additional stimulation to the woman (such as using a vibrator) if her clitoris is accessible—more on that below.

It’s also worth noting that while it may be easier for the man to maintain a firm erection in this position, it can be more challenging to control the onset of orgasm since he is in a passive role. Therefore, the man may use his hands to slow down his partner’s movements when his arousal becomes too intense, in order to avoid reaching climax too quickly.

What does a woman do in the Cowgirl position?

She moves, moves, and moves again! 😉 Ladies, when you take the reins into your own hands, be prepared to break a sweat. Luckily, it’s a very enjoyable labor. So, for the Cowgirl position, there are several types of movements.

• Bouncing (Up and Down). Bouncing on a penis is a popular scene in porn, but in real life, it not only provides little pleasure for women but can also be risky for both her and her partner.If the penis is big or enters at an unfortunate angle, it can cause discomfort or even pain for the woman. For men, such bouncing movements can potentially lead to injury. However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it; just be cautious.
• Grinding (Back and Forth). Now, this is a more pleasurable technique. The woman leans forward slightly, using her hands to support herself on the bed or the man’s chest, and moves along his body, almost grinding her pubic area against him. The movements are mainly done with the hips. This technique stimulates the clitoris well and, to a lesser extent, the G-spot. You will learn about positions to enhance G-spot stimulation in the Cowgirl position below.
• Circular Movements. A woman can also make circular movements with her hips. This not only pleases both partners but also looks beautiful and arousing — it’s a unique show to excite the man. You can even go further and experiment with movements that trace the shape of an “8.”
• Using Pelvic Muscles. Developed pelvic muscles during sex allow a woman not only to intensify and hasten her orgasm but also to stimulate the man’s penis in a special way. The vagina with strong muscles becomes tighter and more responsive, which is highly pleasing for men.

Tips for women in the Cowgirl position

• Let go of self-conscious thoughts. Stop worrying about how you look in the Cowgirl position, your body weight, nose size, breast size, or how skillfully you move (every woman has her own insecurities about this). Thinking about these things will only hinder you, block your arousal, and restrict the expression of your sexuality — all of which are crucial in the Cowgirl position. Keep in mind that men are most turned on by an aroused and confident woman who genuinely enjoys sex to the fullest.
• Tired legs. Legs often get tired when a woman attempts to bounce up and down while straddling her partner. To solve this issue, simply lean forward slightly, using your hands for support on the bed or your partner’s chest, and move horizontally as described earlier.
• Discomfort or pain. Unfortunately, it can happen. In the Cowgirl position, penetration is deep, and if a man has a big penis, it may cause discomfort. Try experimenting with the angle of your body — lean further forward or backward to find a comfortable position for yourself.
• Clitoral stimulation. If you need more clitoral stimulation or want to enhance it, use your fingers or a sex toy (such as a vibrator). Some women may desire this but feel hesitant to do it in front of a partner. I understand that simply saying “Don’t be shy” may not work for everyone. It’s useful for such women to know that many men are greatly aroused when a woman pleasures herself in their presence.
• Fear of causing pain to the man. You can only cause pain to a man if, in an erect state, the penis doesn’t enter the vagina properly and the woman sits on it with all her weight. This can happen during bouncing motions (up and down movements). This can actually injure the penis, so it’s safer to move horizontally.
• Fear of being “too heavy”. Of course, objectively, a woman may have extra weight and be larger than her partner. However, this fear is often unfounded or exaggerated. Here’s the thing: if you weigh the same as your partner or less, there’s no need to worry about it at all. If you are considerably larger, then, firstly, use a soft mattress to evenly distribute the pressure on your partner. Secondly, lean your body forward and support yourself with your hands on the bed to transfer some of the weight onto your hands. By the way, if you do have some extra weight, here are a few effective tips on how to lose weight.

And now, let’s move on to the most exciting part – let’s see how we can spice up the Cowgirl position.

42 variations of the Cowgirl position

Variation 1

The Forward Lean Cowgirl position. The more a woman leans forward, the more stimulation her clitoris receives in this position. She can either slightly lean her body forward, resting her hands on the man’s chest, or fully lie on top of him.

This is a wonderful variation to take a little break after an active “ride” in the classic position and add some tenderness through kisses and embraces.
Essentially, it’s a reversed missionary position.

Variation 2

Let’s take a different approach and instead of lowering the excitement level, let’s raise it! Men are visual creatures, and they are greatly aroused by explicit views. A woman can give him just that in the Cowgirl position. To do this, she leans back leaning on her hands, stands up from her knees on her feet and spreads her legs.

In this position, it looks particularly impressive when the woman starts slowly rotating her hips, making circular motions, or when she lowers herself slowly onto the penis, driving the man crazy with desire.

Variation 3

The so-called Reverse Cowgirl. It differs from the traditional variation by the fact that now the woman faces away from the man. Below, we’ll explore three execution methods, but in reality, there are about 26 variations of the Reverse Cowgirl position (check it out).

Variation 4

A very hot variation of the Reverse Cowgirl is when the woman leans forward resting on her hands. The highlight of this position is undoubtedly the view that opens up to the man. He gets to see his penis entering the vagina, which is incredibly arousing for him.

Furthermore, in this position, it’s very convenient for the man to indulge in some playful activities with the woman’s buttocks. He can either simply caress them or even insert a finger into her anus (if she’s open to such play). Instead of a finger, various sex toys can also be used.

A woman who knows how to twerk (shake her ass) can put on a real show for the man in the Reverse Cowgirl position, which is guaranteed to make him cum quickly!

Variation 5

The woman can also lean back, bracing herself with her hands on the man’s chest. Leaning back enhances G-spot stimulation. This position is good for anal sex, as the woman has more control over penetration.

Variation 6

This variation is also known as the Amazon position. The man lies on his back and pulls his knees toward his chest. The woman straddles him, sitting on the back of his thighs. For more details about this variation, refer to the Amazon sex position.

Variation 8

Variation 9

To add more romance, embraces, and kisses in the Cowgirl position, the woman doesn’t necessarily have to lower herself towards the man. Instead, the man can sit up and assume a seated position. In this form, the Cowgirl smoothly transitions into the Lotus sex position, but the woman’s leading and active role remains intact.
