Reverse Cowgirl | Mr. Stiff

Do you love the cowgirl position? But do you sometimes find it a bit boring or repetitive? No problem—we have the perfect solution: reverse cowgirl! This variation on the cowgirl position is a surprisingly fun move that adds a unique twist to your sex life. Below, we explain exactly what this position entails and look at the ins and outs of this daring yet fun move.

What is reverse cowgirl?

Reverse Cowgirl is a sexual position in which the woman sits on top of her partner, just like in the classic cowgirl position. In this position, the woman faces the feet of the partner who is being penetrated. This gives the penetrating partner a great view of the other partner’s backside.

Where does the name "reverse cowgirl" come from?

The name of the “reverse cowgirl” position refers to the reverse of the traditional cowgirl position. In this variation, the person on top sits like a cowgirl but faces the opposite direction.

Who is the reverse cowgirl position suitable for?

The cowgirl position features in the lovemaking of almost every heterosexual couple. Over time, however, it can become boring or monotonous.

Fortunately, this position—including the “reverse” variation—is also suitable for non-heterosexual couples. And when two men engage in this position, we at Mr. Stiff think the name “reverse cowboy” sounds better!

What does a man do during reverse cowgirl?

During the reverse cowgirl position, the partner on top is primarily in control. That partner (the one receiving) therefore determines the pace and rhythm of the sexual intercourse.

The man (the one giving) can simply enjoy the beautiful view during this position. Since the man underneath does not have to do much, he can use his hands—or other sex toys—to further pleasure or stimulate his partner on top.

What does a woman do during reverse cowgirl?

With reverse cowgirl, the partner on top (the one taking the lead) has full control over the sex. This partner is entirely in charge of the movements, the pace, and the intensity of the penetration.

Reverse cowgirl is a favorite among many women not only because it offers a great deal of control, but also because it helps them reach orgasm more quickly. It’s a win-win for both partners!

Benefits of reverse cowgirl

Great view: With this position, both partners have a wonderful view of each other’s bodies. The partner on the bottom can see the other’s back, while the partner on top can look at the other’s legs and feet. This helps heighten the sexual excitement between you and your partner.
Deeper penetration: This position allows for deeper penetration, which provides extra pleasure for many couples.
In the reverse cowgirl position, the woman (who is on top) has full control over the lovemaking.

Disadvantages of reverse cowgirl

Less eye contact: Maintaining eye contact during reverse cowgirl is a real challenge. For some people, this is important during sex.
Requires coordination: It takes some practice to find the right rhythmic movements.
Painful: Wild or incorrect movements in this position can lead to particularly painful situations, especially for the male partner. So, be careful.

Variations on reverse cowgirl:

Leaning reverse cowgirl: The woman leans forward, resting on her hands or elbows. This creates a different angle of penetration and adds variety.
Hands on the buttocks: The partner doing the penetrating places their hands on the receiving partner’s buttocks for extra support and intimate contact.

Fun tips for the reverse cowgirl style:

Avoid using bright lighting during this position, especially if it is a first time for shy partners; this helps eliminate any potential awkwardness.
You don’t need an athletic physique for the reverse cowgirl position, but be prepared for possible muscle cramps due to the strenuous movements—especially for the partner on top.
At the start of this position, the active partner might want to carefully guide the penis or strap-on dildo inside by hand to prevent pain.
To increase stimulation, the woman (the receiving partner) can tilt her pelvis and lean forward to provide extra clitoral stimulation. Leaning back on her arms, on the other hand, stimulates the G-spot more. Alternating between these two movements makes for a varied and enjoyable sexual experience.

Fun props for reverse cowgirl:

Place a few comfortable pillows under the partner on the bottom for extra support and comfort. After all, that partner has to support the weight of the partner on top.
Create a romantic atmosphere using mood lighting, dimmers, or candles. Double the fun guaranteed!
Lube makes reverse cowgirl even more exciting and enjoyable. Just be careful not to use too much, though, as that increases the risk of a penile fracture. And that’s no fun for either partner…
