If the missionary position seems too vanilla for you and you’re tired of the cowgirl position, then I recommend trying the Amazon sex position, which is a mix of these two popular positions. It offers novelty, exoticism, incredible pleasure, and excitement all in one!
What Is the Amazon Sex Position and What Does It Look Like?
In essence, it’s a reversed missionary position where the man and woman (in heterosexual couples) switch places and roles. Here’s how it looks in practice.
How to Do the Amazon Position
- The man lies on his back, bringing his knees up towards his chest
- Еhe woman straddles his hips, taking control just like in the cowgirl position.
Imagine the woman confidently and sensually mounting her partner, her hands supporting her on his chest or shoulders as she rides him with passion and control. This position gives the woman the power to set the rhythm and depth of the thrusts. It’s an empowering position for both partners and can lead to intense pleasure and satisfying experiences.
Due to the position of the man’s pelvis and legs, penetration is not as deep as in the cowgirl position, but the G-spot is stimulated more intensely due to the unique angle of penetration.
What the woman does? The woman is on her knees and uses her hands resting on the man’s chest for balance. Just like the man in the missionary position, she has two options for movement:
- Vertical movements, where the woman raises and lowers herself.
- Horizontal movements, where her motions are in a forward-backward plane.
These movements can be alternated for variety or you can choose whichever one you prefer the most.
What does the man do? “Relax and enjoy” would be a valid answer, but let’s mention a few other things too!) Of course, no man will miss the opportunity to play with the woman’s breasts, which tantalizingly sway in front of his face in this position. Also, if a man is trying to last longer in bed, it’s better for him to place his hands on the woman’s hips and control the rhythm of her movements. If you feel like you’re about to climax but don’t want it to end just yet, simply slow down your partner’s movements by gently holding onto her with your hands.
By the way, has anyone had experience using the this position?
Amazon sex position variations
The Amazon position has several variations. Let’s take a look at them:
Variation 1: Reversed Missionary.
In this variation, the woman can slightly lean forward, placing her hands on the floor and extending her legs slightly backward. If the classic Amazon sex position resembled the cowgirl position, this variation now looks more like the traditional missionary position.
In this variation, due to the forward tilt, clitoral stimulation is enhanced, but penetration depth and G-spot stimulation are reduced.
Variation 2: Face-to-Face Amazon.
If you enjoy more body contact, kissing, and intimacy, then the woman can lean even further forward or fully lie on top of her partner. Now, you can embrace, kiss, and whisper sweet words or engage in dirty talk (whatever you prefer).
It’s an opportunity to explore emotional and sensual aspects of your sexual encounter, further deepening the bond between you.
Remember, sexual experiences are unique to each couple, and it’s important to communicate openly with your partner about your desires, preferences, and boundaries. When trying different variations of the Amazon position or any other sex positions, always prioritize consent, respect, and pleasure for both partners.
Variation 3: Amazon on the chair.
If you want to spice things up a bit more, try doing an Amazon position on a chair. Yes, you read that right – “on the chair”. Even though it will be terribly uncomfortable, it will definitely be very vivid and unforgettable!)
If you’re brave enough to give this experiment a go, I suggest finding a sturdy chair. You don’t want any accidents while exploring new heights of pleasure, do you? 😉
Here you will find even more crazy sex positions.
Variation 4: Raunchy Reverse Amazon.
Now, the woman sits facing away from her partner. It’s important to acknowledge that this penetration may be less pleasurable for the woman, but the view that will be presented to her partner will undoubtedly leave him incredibly impressed.
Watching the penis penetrate the woman can be very arousing for the man.
Variation 5: Seated Reverse Amazon.
This variation may not be the most comfortable, but for the sake of diversity, you can experiment with it.
While it may not be the most commonly practiced variation, it can still add novelty and excitement to your intimate experiences.
Variation 6: Reverse Amazon on the edge of the bed.
Variation 7: Reverse Amazon on the chair.
I hope these additional variations provide you with a broader understanding of the Amazon position and inspire you to explore new possibilities.
I would recommend trying Amazon position on a couch for maximum comfort and pleasure. The man should sit at the edge of the couch, with his buttocks right on the edge. The woman can then straddle him, slowly lowering herself onto his penis. To find the most comfortable stance, she can either place her knees on the couch just outside his legs, or she can stand on the floor if that feels better. I hope these details help! It can be a little tricky to explain, but once you try it, you’ll find that it’s actually quite simple!)
My husband and I sometimes practice Amazon sex positions. And this is what I recommend based on feedback from my husband. When you try this position, it’s important to lean into your partner instead of leaning away from them. It’s worth noting that not all men are comfortable with their erect penis being bent too far downwards, so positioning yourself closer to your partner can enhance comfort and pleasure.
We have engaged in this activity multiple times, and as someone who enjoys when my wife takes the lead, it is always a fantastic experience for me. I find it incredibly satisfying when she is in control and drives the action. It’s definitely a winner in my book!
Yes, I have tried Amazon position before. It’s interesting how girls often take the initiative to guide me into that particular position, and they really seem to enjoy it. To be honest, it’s not a position that comes naturally to me. It’s not physically impossible, but I find that I need to mentally run through the logistics before fully getting comfortable with it.
I gave it a try. Well, I tried to give it a try. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out to be comfortable for either of us. It felt like there was a constant risk of putting his penis in uncomfortable positions. Despite how enticing the gifs of this position may be, the logistical challenges made our attempt dissolve into laughter, and we ended up opting for simpler ways of engaging in intercourse. I would say it’s worth giving it a shot because it could be an amazing experience if it works for you. However, it’s important not to put all your expectations on it or plan your whole evening around it.
Oh wow, my wife and I absolutely adore this position, but we’ve added a little twist to it. Her legs go inside mine, extended straight out. She lays on top of me, placing all her weight on my chest. I gently hold onto her ass, guiding the strokes while she takes the lead. Instead of the usual up-and-down motion, we move in a head-to-toe direction. This way, she gets both clit grinding action and penetration simultaneously. It’s truly incredible when she combines both sensations—it’s an experience like no other.
We actually don’t prefer the “Amazon” position where she sits upright. Also, in the chest-to-chest position, I’ve noticed that the downward strokes (towards my feet) can be a bit challenging for my penis if she goes too far. That’s why I support her by holding onto her ass—it helps control the depth of penetration, so she can’t go too far down.
Honestly, it’s always an amazing time. We highly recommend giving it a try. There’s nothing quite as thrilling as enjoying hands-free stimulation of both the clitoris and the vaginal area at the same time.
Indeed, Amazon position that requires caution. One wrong move and there may be a risk of injuring your penis. It’s not as practical as some other positions, but it can certainly add some variety to your intimate experiences. It’s important to approach this position with great care and mindfulness. The penile ligaments can feel susceptible, and any sudden or incorrect movement could potentially lead to discomfort or injury.
My girlfriend and I have tried Amazon sex position, and we both had a great time. Admittedly, it was a bit uncomfortable for me initially, but once we found our rhythm, it became really enjoyable. I believe it worked well for us because we are closer in height.
Absolutely! Trying that position can be incredibly enjoyable, especially when you want your partner to take control. From my personal experience, I found it more comfortable when my legs were positioned “behind” hers, starting from the cowgirl position. In this variation, she pushes my legs forwards rather than me folding my legs towards my chest with her on the backs of my thighs, which is often depicted in movies and sex position guides.
