The Cowgirl Position
The Cowgirl position is a vaginal or anal sex position performed with the receiving partner on top. It gets its name because the receiving partner, often a vulva-owner, straddles the penetrating partner like a person riding a horse.
To get into the Cowgirl position, the penetrating partner lies on their back on a bed or another flat surface. The receiving partner straddles their partner and sits in a kneeling position, with their legs on either side of their partner’s hips. From this position, the penetrating partner can penetrate the receiving partner.
