Anatomy and biomechanics
The receiver lies on their back; the person on top adopts an inverted seated position (facing their feet). The posterior-inverted angle affects the posterior wall and completely changes the geometry compared to the classic cowgirl. Leaning the torso forward (hands on the shins) accentuates the angle.
Why this position works
Offers an angle that no frontal position provides, with control in the hands of the person on top. The view from behind is an attraction in itself and allows playing with depth by leaning forward or backward. Very sought after for varying sensations without losing control.
Variations of this position
1. On your knees: the standard version
Sitting with your back to your partner's hips, supporting yourself on your knees, facing their feet.
The person on top supports themselves on their knees, facing their partner's feet. It provides vertical control and stability.
- From the reverse cowgirl position, place your knees well on the sides.
- Move up and down, controlling the rhythm.
- Lean on your partner's thighs if you need to.
2. Forward bend: accentuate the angle
Like the inverted position, with the torso leaned forward and the hands on the partner's shins.
The top person leans the torso forward, supporting the hands on the partner's shins or feet. The angle is pronounced and the depth changes.
