Woman On Top (sex Position)
Woman on top, also called the, cowboy, cowgirl or riding position, is a group of sex positions in which:
- the man lies on his back or sits in a chair, couch, etc.
- the woman straddles the inserting partner and the partners face each other.
- the partners align the vagina or anus of the receiving partner with the phallus of the inserting partner to achieve penetration.
The cowgirl name derives from the image of the receiving partner "riding" the partner as a cowboy rides a bucking horse. It is one of a number of receptive-partner-superior sexual positions, another being the reverse cowgirl position. It is fairly simple to achieve and maintain and pleasures both partners. This position is also used as a precursor to the lateral coital position described by Masters and Johnson.
This position is commonly cited as one of the more popular sex positions. It gives the receiving partner more control and also allows the inserting partner to view and caress the receiving partner's chest and abdominal region.
