Your Most Asked Questions About Acrobat Position
Is this position too advanced for someone new to cowgirl variations? It’s definitely easier if you’re comfortable with basic reverse cowgirl first, but the supported nature actually makes it more accessible than pure acrobatic positions.
How does this compare to regular reverse cowgirl in terms of sensation? The back-to-chest contact creates entirely different intimacy while the leaning angle naturally targets your G-spot more directly than straight-up riding.
What’s the best way to prevent my knees from getting sore? Start on a softer surface, use the pillow trick under your partner’s hips, and don’t hesitate to extend your legs forward when you need relief.
Does the Acrobat work well for deeper penetration? The leaning angle naturally creates deeper access while the intimate positioning lets you control exactly how deep feels best.
Can we add toys without it getting awkward? The position is perfect for toy play — your hands are free, and the close contact makes vibrators feel incredible for both partners.
