What is the Reverse Cowgirl sex position?

It might not come as a huge surprise that a survey previously carried out by Lovehoney found Britain’s second favourite sexual position is the Cowgirl.

However, as lots of couples will know, there’s a twist on the original position.

Whereas Cowgirl involves a woman straddling their partner face-to-face, Reverse Cowgirl involves doing the complete opposite and turning your back on your partner – as the name suggests.

This means the person receiving the penetration is in total control and can set the rhythm and pace for their own pleasure and enjoyment.

How does the reverse cowgirl sex position work?

To master this popular position, the penetrator lies down on their back, leaving the lover to get on top and face towards their partner’s feet.

The person on top can then hold on to their partner’s knees for stability if needed, and start moving up and down or grinding, determining how deep the penetration goes with each move.

And the position, which could improve your sex life, is said to burn lots of calories too. 

However, as well all know, certain sex positions are more risky than others.

NHS surgeon Dr Karan Raj, claims that reverse cowgirl is responsible for 50% of penile fractures.

Apparently, “erratic thrusting” can lead to the penis being crushed by the female pubic bone, leading to tissue tear.

So it’s worth thinking twice before opting to go on top.

What are some other variations of the reverse cowgirl?

There are a number of variations to this position that you can try.

Leaned-back Reverse Cowgirl

To try this one out, you must first get into the traditional Reverse Cowgirl position.

Then the person on top needs to lean all the way back, so that their back is against their partner’s chest.

However, be warned – the person on top will need to have loose quads, as it provides quite the workout as the pleasure builds.

Sideways straddle

This position looks and sounds more complicated than it actually is, so it is well worth a shot if it’s done right.

Like any reverse cowgirl position, the penetrator will lie down on their back, but for sideways straddle they will then bend one leg, with the sole of foot resting on the bed. Their lover will then straddle the bent leg.

Reverse face sit

As it says in the name, the reverse face sit is sitting but facing towards your partner’s feet.This position is great for those who want to try analingus but is also suitable for those who prefer simple cunnilingus.

What has sex expert Annabelle Knight said about the Reverse Cowgirl?

The relationship guru has recommended this position for both partners, with her saying the manoeuvre is ideal for shy lovers – using the example of a woman and a man. 

She told Daily Star: “He gets a fantastic view, and if she’s normally a little shy, she may feel more uninhibited because there’s no eye contact.”
