Ready to turn up the heat and command the bedroom? Dive into the exciting world of cowgirl positions where you take the reins! This isn’t just about changing who’s on top—it’s about empowering you to unleash your inner goddess and revel in the thrill of control. So, saddle up and prepare to transform your pleasure ride into a bold expression of female empowerment. Are you ready to dominate the ride?


1. Cowgirl

Cowgirl Position

Cowgirl is a classic position that combines deep penetration with intimate eye contact. You can lean forward, give your partner a passionate kiss, and then arch your back and enjoy G-spot stimulation.

But the benefits don’t stop there; being on top means being in charge, which is highly empowering and a significant confidence boost. You can control the speed and the depth of the penetration and even lightly choke your partner. Cowgirl is also great for anal sex.

Pro Tip: Having your partner watch you might feel uncomfortable at first, but you’ll soon realize how much of a turn-on it is. Seeing your partner orgasm is the hottest thing ever; take it from me!

How To Do It

  1. Have your partner lie down.
  2. Climb on top and slide into the position.
  3. Move up and down or back and forth to explore different sensations.
  4. You can lean forward to try a different angle.

 


2. Squatting Cowgirl

Squatting CowgirlSquatting cowgirl puts a spin on the classic cowgirl, and just like with the other sex positions on this list, benefits go hand-in-hand with more effort. Unfortunately, this one is quite a leg killer, and you might not last long. But at least it will give you an excuse to skip the cardio class. Either way, it’s a great way to combine fitness with pleasure.

Another benefit is it’s an extremely hot position, as it allows your partner to see your entire body and his penis (or strap-on) moving in and out of you. Plus, you get to be in charge. If you’ve ever wanted to explore your dominatrix side with one of the best dominant female sex positions, now is the time to do it. Don’t be afraid to try talking dirty and show your partner who’s the boss. You can also progress to facesitting, which I’ll discuss later in this guide.

Pro Tip: Use one hand to rub your clitoris or stroke your breast for additional stimulation.

How To Do It

  1. Have your partner lie down.
  2. Get into a squatting position and put your hands behind your partner’s legs for support.

 


3. Reverse Cowgirl

reverse cowgirl positionIf being on display is out of your comfort zone, you can achieve the same pleasure with a reverse cowgirl position. Facing away from your partner will give you the illusion of not being watched while you can focus on the sensations.

Plus, your partner can still enjoy the view of the action – it’s a win-win. The only thing missing is eye contact, but sometimes, having animalistic and raw sex is more enjoyable than strengthening the emotional connection.

In addition, reverse cowgirl is great for extra deep thrusting. You can also hit your G spot easily and use a vibrator to stimulate your clitoris. Make sure you try nipple play –  just set your vibrator to a low setting.

How To Do It

  1. The position is the same as the classic cowgirl, except facing away from your partner.
  2. Rest your hands on your partner’s legs while leaning forward to achieve deeper penetration.

 


4. Chair Cowgirl

Cowgirl on a chairPicture this: your partner arrives home after a long day at work and sits in front of the TV. Then you suddenly emerge from the bedroom wearing your best dress and lean over him.

As cheesy as it sounds, we’ve all had a fantasy where we are the seducers. Unfortunately, penis owners are usually expected to seduce, so not many vagina owners have the confidence to make the first move. But thanks to this chair sex position, you get to be in charge and initiate the intercourse just by sitting in your partner’s lap. (It’s also excellent for couch sex.) All you have to do is move your hips to let him know how much you want him. Try it – it will drive him crazy!

Pro Tip: Grind on your partner’s penis before you get to the point, and have him kiss your neck to maximize the pleasure

How To Do It

  1. Sit on your partner’s lap with your legs resting on the floor.
  2. Alternatively, you can sit on them with your knees bent.

 


5. Lapdance

Lap dance positionReceiving a lap dance is a top fantasy for many people, but this sex position is all about empowering you. Imagine the confidence of a performer in a strip club, confidently engaging with an audience—that can be you. Tease your partner with some grinding, hold their gaze to intensify the connection, and don’t worry if you’re not a dancer—a sexy outfit and the right music can set the perfect mood. They’re sure to love the attention!

How To Do It

  1. Have your partner sit in a chair.
  2. Sit in his lap while facing away – like in the reverse cowgirl but on a chair.
  3. Have him stroke your breast and kiss your back.

 


6. Face-Off

Face-off sex position

The face-off position puts a unique spin on the typical cowgirl setup. It’s not just about vigorous thrusting; this intimate pose allows you to maintain deep physical closeness while controlling the depth and rhythm of penetration. Imagine being fully embraced by your partner, feeling them deep inside you while you share passionate kisses. Face Off heightens the intimacy, making it more than just physical—it’s a truly passionate connection.

How To Do It

  1. Your partner sits in a chair or on the edge of the bed with their legs spread.
  2. The vulva owner climbs onto their lap and takes on a squatting position with your feet flat on the surface.
  3. Squeeze your partner’s body with your thighs and put your hands around the neck. They can embrace you to bring you closer or bury their head in your breasts.

 


7. Lotus

Lotus sex position in a chairIf you’re a fan of yoga sex, this one is right up your alley. Tantra sex promises deeper levels of connection between partners and aims to explore each other’s bodies rather than help achieve an orgasm. Ironically, your orgasm is more likely to be stronger and more satisfying if you take things slow. Give it a try!

It might not provide super deep penetration, but it’s another very intimate position that works exceptionally well in a serious relationship. Being face-to-face with your partner during sex and staring into his eyes releases oxytocin, which increases bonding. [1]

How To Do It

  1. Your partner sits in a chair with his legs crossed
  2. Sit in his lap and wrap your legs around his waist
  3. Embrace each other and start moving your hips at the same time

 


8. The Lazy Man

The Lazy Man Sex PositionThe Lazy Man position puts you in charge on top, perfect if you’re looking to spark up your partner’s desire with minimal effort on their part. It’s ideal when your partner feels tired but still wants to please you. In this role-reversal setup, your partner can relax and enjoy the view, simply guiding your hips as you take the lead. This allows them to unwind while fully engaging in the pleasure of the moment as they listen to your breaths quicken.

Pro Tip: Have your partner massage your butt or scratch your back to heighten the sensations

How To Do It

  1. Your partner sits with his legs straight.
  2. Sit on top of him, squatting with your feet on the surface.
  3. Hold onto your partner’s neck for better balance.

 


9. Facesitting

Oral Sex FacesittingFace sitting is the holy grail of dominant sex positions for her as it combines oral sex and woman-on-top penetration – call it a female version of blowjob if you like.

Something is arousing about using your partner’s mouth to receive pleasure – he is at your mercy as he can’t say a word (but do make sure you pay attention to his body language in case he gets uncomfortable).

Additionally, it will help you explore body sensations and teach you to prioritize your pleasure, which we, women, sometimes forget about. Make sure your partner stimulates your clitoris and the inside of your vagina for extra stimulation.

If you want to learn more about facesitting, I have a complete guide about sitting on his face that you might want to read.

How To Do It

  1. Your partner lies flat on the bed.
  2. Position yourself over his mouth and gently lower down.
  3. Remember not to put weight on his face. The best way to do this is to face away and put your hands on your partner’s chest.

 


10. The Octopus

The Octopus Sex PositionI like the Octopus because it’s intimate and provides super deep penetration. Plus, it’s so much easier than it sounds. All you have to do is put your legs on your partner’s shoulders and lean backward.

Thanks to the back-and-forth motion, you can benefit from direct G-spot stimulation and get a view of the action. It also leaves lots of room to play with your clitoris and gives something for your partner to fantasize about long after your lovemaking session.

How To Do It

  1. The penetrating partner sits with his knees bent and arms resting on the surface behind his back.
  2. The receiver gets into the same position before him but puts her leg on his shoulders.
  3. She then slides onto his penis and moves back and forth.
  4. Alternatively, go for the variation with the right leg (or left) on the shoulder.
