Woman on Top

Ladies, it’s time to take a climb. In bed, that is. When you’re the woman on top, you’re in charge of everything: the pace, the angle, and the thermostat. Your partner is trapped, so turn it up to 72. Electric bill be damned.

It’s the 21st century, so we don’t need to lie back and think of England anymore – unless you’re fantasizing about Prince Harry. Turns out, women do like having sex now that they can pick their partners. And since deodorant has been invented.

So if you’re ready to dominate your sex life, try out these woman on top sex positions. We break down all the best ones for you here.

 

13 Steamy Woman on Top Sex Positions

1. Lotus

Do it like they would do at the White Lotus…if they weren’t all so stressed out from being rich. The penetrator sits on their knees or criss-cross applesauce. The receiver sits on their lap facing them, wrapping their legs around the penetrator.

This is as close as you can get with your partner without crawling inside each other. It’s “share a breath mint like Lady and the Tramp” close. That means deep penetration and intense intimacy.

2. Bouncing Spoon

Spooning sex is perfect for when you’re feeling lazy. But if you’re actually willing to sit up, try this version of the spooning sex position.

The penetrator sits on the floor up against a wall. The receiver straddles them on their knees, facing away from the wall, leaning back against the penetrator’s chest. It’s the snuggly closeness of spooning without having to flop around sideways like a fish.

3. Reverse Missionary

The penetrator lays on their back. The receiver starts in the cowgirl position, then leans forward and straightens their legs so that they’re laying on top of the penetrator like a human blanket.

This sex position provides all of the intimacy of missionary, but the receiver is in control.

4. Cowgirl

For the cowgirl sex position, the penetrator lays on their back. The receiver straddles the penetrator, facing towards their head.

As the cowgirl, this is your rodeo. The receiver controls the pace, whether it’s bouncing like a bull rider or taking the reins by playing with yourself. Yee haw indeed!

5. Reverse Cowgirl

If you’re already in cowgirl, do a sick 180 flip into reverse cowgirl. If you’d rather not kick your partner in the head, have the penetrator lay on their back and the receiver straddle the penetrator, facing towards their feet. It’s okay if you’re no Tony Hawk.

This is the perfect sex position for putting your bouncing booty on display. You haven’t been doing those squats for nothing!

6. Squatting Cowgirl

Start in the cowgirl position: the penetrator lays on their back and the receiver straddles them facing towards their head. But instead of kneeling, the receiver plants their feet next to the penetrator’s hips so they can bounce up and down using their legs.

Using your full leg muscles means you can bounce higher and harder for deep penetration with extra jiggle. And you can go ahead and cancel that aerobics class for tomorrow.

7. Leaned-Back Reverse Cowgirl

Start in reverse cowgirl – or with a quad stretch – with the penetrator laying on their back and the receiver straddled facing their feet. Then, the receiver does the rockaway and leans back so that their back is on the penetrator’s chest.

The penetrating partner will have access to feel up the receiving partner’s chest or clit. Or both. We don’t discriminate.

8. Leaned-Forward Reverse Cowgirl

Now that your quads are stretched out, you can lean the other way. Start in reverse cowgirl, but this time, the receiver leans forward towards the penetrator’s feet.

This position gives the best access for booty play, because your legs are stretched open and the penetrator has their hands free for fingering or to insert a butt plug. However, starting in this position right after a sweaty workout is not recommended. Shoe stink is real.

9. Thigh Rider

Combine dry humping with…wet humping? The penetrator lays on their back. The receiver straddles one leg facing towards the penetrator’s feet, with one leg between the penetrator’s leg.

As the receiver rides, their clit will rub up against the penetrator’s leg for a blended orgasm. Our beauty blender could never.

10. Lap Dance

Work it like you’re in the champagne room, but you get to drink all the champagne you want. The penetrator sits on a chair or sofa and the receiver sits on their lap.

It’s like reverse cowgirl, but the penetrator is in a better position to move their hips and use their hand to play with the receiver’s hair, chest, or clit. Or nose, if you’re into that. Whatever you’re into!

11. Head Rush

Send some of that blood back to the brain. The penetrator lays with their back on the ground. Then, they lift their legs up on a low piece of furniture, like a sofa seat or a coffee table. The receiver straddles them, facing their head.

The penetrator has lots of room for thrusting high and deep, but the receiver is still on top in control. Finally, you’ll get them to watch the final season of Love is Blind!

12. Face Sit

Nothing says domination like having the power to smother your partner with your thighs. In this sex position, the giver lays on their back. The receiver straddles and sits on their face, facing away from their feet.

The receiver rides the giver’s face and decides if they did a good enough job to live another day.

13. The Crab

The penetrator lays on their back with their knees bent and feet planted. The receiver straddles them facing their head, then leans back on the penetrator’s knees and plants their feet on the floor next to the penetrator’s chest.

The receiver is at the perfect angle for g-spot stimulation while the giver can play with their clit. Who knew crustaceans were so good at blended orgasms?
