The Amazon: vertical control in its purest form
The Cowgirl levels up. In the Amazon, the top person supports themselves on the soles of their feet, not their knees: they gain enormous vertical range and absolute control, in exchange for some leg strength.

Anatomy and biomechanics
Superior seated position without knee support: the top person balances on the soles of their feet (squatting position), which increases the vertical range of motion and shifts the effort to the quadriceps and balance. The receiver can hold the hips or the partner's hands for stability.
Why this position works
It offers control and range that no other position provides: the top person decides depth and rhythm with total freedom. It's dynamic, powerful, and very visually stimulating. Ideal for high-energy moments, and the bottom person can help by holding on to make it last longer.
Variations of this position
1. Assisted: support on a headboard
Like the Amazon, with hand support on a headboard or wall behind.
The person on top holds onto a headboard or wall to offload some of the effort and gain stability.
- Position yourself in a squatting stance on top.
- Hold onto the headboard or the wall.
- Use the support to regulate the momentum.
2. Reclined: change the angle
Like the Amazon, with the torso slightly reclined and one hand supported behind.
The one on top leans back slightly, supporting themselves with one hand, changing the angle towards the anterior wall.
- From the Amazon position, lean back a bit.
- Support yourself with one hand on your partner's thigh.
- Adjust the angle.
