When she’s on top, she’s the boss of her own pleasure. She decides how fast and how deep things go, which makes orgasm far more likely. And the view for him? Also not bad. So why not flip the roles for once? Here are the 6 best positions for woman on top.
1. Cowgirl
How to do it
This is probably the most classic woman-on-top position. Have your partner lie flat on the bed and climb on top. Wrap your legs around their waist so you’re straddling them, with one leg on each side. Sit as upright as possible. The position works best when you can rest on your knees. Don’t be shy about using your hand to guide his penis or a dildo where you want it. From there, move your hips back and forth — try a circular motion.
Why it’s great
In this position you take complete control. You’re in charge of every movement and your partner will love it.
Variation
Try planting your feet flat on the surface. It makes the position much more intense — you’ll burn a fair few calories — but the position can feel far more intense for as long as you can hold it.
2. Reverse Missionary
How to do it
This one’s a little different from cowgirl. Instead of sitting up on him, you lie down. Press your body against your partner’s. Place your legs and hands beside their body and use them to balance your weight. Then slowly move your hips back and forth.
Why it’s great
It’s fun to flip the classic missionary. The partner with a penis or dildo usually leads — but this time it’s you in charge.
Variation
Dominate your partner by pinning their arms down. Even better: use a bondage set to fully take charge.
3. The Face Sit
How to do it
Have your partner lie flat on the bed and support their head with a pillow. Then sit on their face, with one leg on each side of their head. Use the headboard or wall for support. Lower yourself down so your partner can comfortably reach you with their mouth. They can then stimulate you orally.
Why it’s great
In this position you’re as dominant as it gets. You’re literally sitting on their face!
Variation
This is a perfect position for some role-play! Imagine yourself as a queen and tell them they can only stop when you’ve had multiple orgasms. Just make sure you’ve agreed on a safety word in case the pressure gets too much.
4. Leaning Cowgirl
How to do it
This is a simple variation on cowgirl, but it deserves its own mention. Take the same position as classic cowgirl, only this time place your hands behind you for support. This changes the angle of penetration and gives him a slightly different view too.
Why it’s great
This position gives your partner a brilliant view. You feel super sexy because you’re putting yourself on display while still being in control.
Variation
Have your partner stimulate your clitoris with their fingers.
5. Reverse Cowgirl
How to do it
Your position only changes by 180 degrees, but the position itself feels completely different. In this variation on classic cowgirl, you face away from your partner instead of facing them. You can sit upright, or lean forward slightly with your hands for support.
Why it’s great
By turning around, the view is instantly different. Brilliant for those who love a great rear view, and it offers the option for a touch of anal stimulation too.
Variation
Make it even more dominant! You can tie his hands with a cuff set so he can’t touch you. Feel him getting close to coming? Pause for a moment to leave him wanting more.
6. Sideways Saddle
How to do it
If you’ve never tried this position, it can be a bit tricky to picture how it works. Just keep practising and it’ll come naturally. Have your partner lie flat on their back with their knees bent and feet flat on the bed. You then wrap your leg around their thigh to ride it.
Why it’s great
This position is great for women who love clitoral stimulation. You can rub deliciously against his thigh in this one. Plus, your partner can’t go anywhere, so you’re fully in control.
Variation
You can dial up the dominance by telling your partner you’re using them purely for your own pleasure. Do your thing and have them begging for more.
