Women in Control

Similar to the sitting positions these woman on top positions give the female partner a much larger degree of control over both the thrusting and depth of penetration during sexual intercourse.






Variations on the basic woman on top position are easily gained with the female switching the direction of her body, lying back rather than sitting up straight or the male raising his knees to support the females body.

The penetrating partner lies on their back. The receiving partner kneels on top of the penetrator facing them. Sometimes called the cowboy or cowgirl position. See Receptive partner on top position.

As above, but the receiving partner sits on top of the penetrator facing away from them. Sometimes called the reverse cowboy or reverse cowgirl position. See Reverse receptive partner on top position.

This position preferred by three quarters of their heterosexual study participants after having tried it. The position involves the man on his back, with the woman rolled slightly to the side so that her pelvis is atop his, but her weight is beside his.
