Whoopie School

"I love watching a woman when she's on top ... it's so sexy to see her getting into it. The cowgirl position is just the best."

The Cowgirl Position

The Cowgirl Position is a slight variation on the reverse missionary, only in this position she is upright on her knees for better riding. To do it, he lies on his back with legs out straight; she straddles him with her knees bent by his sides. In the basic position, the couple is facing each other as she rides him. The woman has complete control over the depth of penetration, angle, and speed in the cowgirl position. The man enjoys a great view of her body. Vary traditional thrusting by moving in small circles as you're lifting yourself up and down.

What's good about the Cowgirl Position: In addition to putting the woman in the driver's seat when it comes to control the pace of intercourse, the cowgirl position also provides more G-spot stimulation. Sit upright or lean back a little bit to find the G-spot. And while she's riding on top, there's plenty of ways to touch her clitoris - she can do it, he can do it, or you can add a vibrator. And while he sits back and enjoys the ride, he can also enjoy being able to caress her breasts and hips, and watch their naughty bits in action.

What's bad about the Cowgirl Position: Since she is more upright in the cowgirl position than in the reverse missionary, there is less clitoral stimulation from intercourse alone. If he has trouble controlling his orgasm, he can be taken by surprise once she's gets to grinding.

Best for: When she wants to ride.
