Reverse Cowgirl Position
By Great Sex Coach Cynthia Perkins, M.Ed.
The reverse cowgirl position is a variation on the woman on top and the sister of the cowgirl sex position, however, your facing in the opposite direction. Instead of looking at your lover, your facing their feet.

It's name is derived from the fact that the posture and movements mimic the riding of a bucking horse backwards.
This position is a favorite for the man, especially those who enjoy a nice butt view, and if the woman learns how to maneuver herself properly it can be extremely satisfying for her as well.
It's great for those love making sessions when you're feeling a little wild and uninhibited. Let the bad girl come out and have a good time with your cowboy. Don't be afraid of to try the reverse cowgirl.
How to Perform the Reverse Cowgirl Position
- The male or inserting partner lies on his back or sits in a chair.
- The woman or receiving partner straddles her lover so that she is facing his feet.
For a little variety in the reverse cowgirl position, she can either bend her legs and kneel on the bed on her knees or she can place her feet firmly on the bed and use her feet to push herself up and down or back and forth.
If he's sitting on a chair, she can place her feet on the edge of the chair or on the floor. - She lowers her vagina (or the anus, if you enjoy anal sex ) down over his penis.
- Ride em cowgirl!
Use your legs and your arms for balance and to move up and down with the reverse cowgirl.
Variations on the Reverse Cowgirl Position
The woman can have a more satisfying experience if she rocks back and forth instead of thrusting up and down, as this will massage the g spot.
Another exciting variation that will give him an incredible show and offers both partners different sensations, is for her to lean forward and grab hold of his ankles and bounce up and down.
If you enjoy a little sting now and then, he can give you a good smack on the buttocks to get you riding faster and harder.
He can place his hands on your waist or hips and bounce you up and down at the pace he desires.
In the traditional cowgirl sex position everything is the same except your facing your lover. The flexible and adventurous couple can switch back and forth between the cowgirl position and the reverse cowgirl for even a wilder ride.
