Classic Cowgirl
@alliefolinoHow to Do It: The giver lies on their back. The receiving partner straddles them, sitting on them like they’re riding a horse. The receiving partner’s knees and shins are pressed to the bed.
Why It’s Good: The receiver gets to take control. They can also tilt back or forward, controlling the depth of penetration and potential G-spot stimulation. Classic cowgirl is also great if the giver’s penis is on the smaller side. (For more small penis sex positions, head here.)
2) Squatting Cowgirl
@aliefolinoHow to Do It: It’s similar to cowgirl, only instead of the receiving partner straddling the giver, they have their soles planted on the bed in a squatting position.
Why It’s Good: With this position, the giver can grab their partner by the butt and thrust deep. So even though the receiver is on top, the giver is in control of the speed and motion. Squatting cowgirl is also optimal for bringing in toys. We’d suggest bringing in a bigger toy with a long handle (like a Magic Wand) so the receiver can rest their elbows on their knees while still stimulating their clitoris.
3) Reverse Cowgirl
Leaned-Back Reverse Cowgirl
@alliefolinoHow to Do It: Start in reverse cowgirl. From there, the receiving partner leans all the way back, so their back is against the giver’s chest and their forearms are resting on the giver’s sides. (The receiver can either keep their knees bent—if they have loose quads—or plant their feet on the bed if it’s more comfortable, as pictured.)
Why It’s Good: While thrusting, the giving partner can also cup the receiver’s breasts and play with their clitoris. If you do this position right, you can hit multiple erogenous zones.
5) Dead Man’s Cowgirl
The Crab
The Lotus
Sideways Straddle
The Face Sit
Face Off
The Octopus
The Lazy Man
Snow Angel
The Hot Seat
@alliefolinoHow to Do It: The giver sits on a chair. The receiver straddles the giver—facing away—and lowers themselves onto the giver’s lap. Once the giver is inside the receiver, the receiver can move up and down or grind back and forth—whatever feels good.
Why It’s Good: Everyone’s hands are free to bring in toys! The receiver can use a vibrator on their own clit or penis (see: our favorite penis vibrators), or the giver can reach around and do the job for them.
14) The Lazy Woman
Side Saddle
The Full Nelson
Tray FiskHow to Do It: The receiver will lie down on the giver, facing the same direction. From here, the giver can wrap their arms around the receiver’s legs, tucking their knees into their chest. Here, the giver can insert, and plant their heels to thrust.
Why It’s Good: If the giver is ready to relinquish control, the Full Nelson is a great way to do that. The shallow penetration allows for some pleasurable G-spot stimulation. The reciever’s legs are open wide, perfect for adding in some clitoral stimulation with a wand or a vibrator.
