Cowgirl Sex Position Tips for Women"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The &#8216;cowgirl position&#8217; requires the man to lay on his back while the woman straddles him. And since most women require clitoral stimulation in order to orgasm, riding is an ideal sex position for providing both partners with pleasure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cowgirl has become a staple of almost every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/sex-positions\/\">sex position guide<\/a> and is even a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/sex-pregnancy-whats-ok-whats-not\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">go-to for pregnant women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> since there is no pressure of a body on top of yours while you are in full control. Honestly, it\u2019s hard to find reasons not to do this position and it makes sense as to why it\u2019s gained so much popularity over the years (we\u2019re talking like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/sex-spirituality-the-kama-sutra-edition\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kama Sutra<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> thousands of years). Our ancestors knew what they were doing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Diversity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best parts about the cowgirl position is that there are a bunch of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/riding-high-top-4-top-sex-positions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">different variations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, like the also popular <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/lelo-sex-position-of-the-week-reverse-cowgirl\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reverse cowgirl<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (facing away from your partner) and the Asian cowgirl (facing towards your partner but with knees up). Feel free to get creative and do whatever feels good. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mixing up the power dynamic is arousing too. Let\u2019s face it, men always say that they\u2019re doing all the work &#8211; so a good way to combat this is by enjoying the ride of your life. The effort is so worth the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/orgasms-101-understanding-climax\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">orgasmic reward<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and they will love it as much as you do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Complimenting Cowgirl<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cowgirl is definitely different than a lot of positions, so here are some things to keep in mind that can enhance being on top.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>1. Get it Wet<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like all positions, don\u2019t rush into it. If you\u2019re starting in cowgirl, make sure you\u2019ve done some foreplay and that you are properly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/all-lubed-up-ready-to-go-why-and-how-to-use-lube\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lubed up<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/tips-to-make-oral-better-for-both-partners\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giving head<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also an effective way of getting things wet and ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Start Off in the Dark<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll admit it, this position can take a bit of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/boost-bedroom-confidence\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">confidence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> since you are face-to-face and very connected to your partner. There can be a lot of pressure to let loose while you ride, so if it\u2019s your first time, maybe try it in the dark. Once you get the hang of it, it will be smooth sailing\u2026 or riding rather.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Grind, Bounce, Bring it Around Town\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a lot of motions you can do in this position. Of course, bouncing up and down is a pretty common motion during sex. Grinding, a personal favorite, is typically an easier motion to achieve an orgasm since it focuses on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/good-in-hood-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-clitoris\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stimulating your clit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can also grind not only in a forward and back motion, but a circular motion with your hips. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s not forget though that being in control can get tiring, fast. To avoid using up all your energy, you can also let your man do all the thrusting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. It Takes Two to Tango<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can totally own the motions of this position, but it\u2019s likely your partner will get so <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/unusual-turn-ons\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">turned on<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that he will want to participate, too. This requires some skill in coordination. And please keep in mind, if the penis goes at all soft, this position can harm it if you\u2019re bouncing around and it accidentally slips out. Nobody wants to be known as the dick destroyer, so proceed with caution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Play with Yourself\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me tell you about the time I slept with a guy from my Human Sexuality class in college. He was the first guy to ever tell me to touch myself during cowgirl and it was the first orgasm I ever reached during penetrative sex. It was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">awesome<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Don\u2019t be afraid to rub one off, it\u2019s a win-win situation for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Get Off Easy Once the Ride is Over\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This position is incredibly pleasurable but can definitely do work on your hips. For someone who does yoga a few times a week, I still need a good stretch after cowgirl. There is no need to rush getting up once done. Easy does it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Guy\u2019s Role in Cowgirl<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honestly, a man could do nothing but sit back and relax, but what\u2019s the fun in that? You can also spice up the rhythm by thrusting and grinding. Stimulation of the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/hot-spots-erogenous-zones-women\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">erogenous zones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (clit rubbing, nipple play, ass grabbing\/spanking) is welcomed, too. Embrace the confidence of your partner in this position, because, well, it\u2019s insanely hot to watch a woman do her thing.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8216;cowgirl position&#8217; requires the man to lay on his back while the woman straddles him.
