What Is the Amazon Position?

No, this has nothing to do with ordering dildos with Prime delivery. The amazon position gets its name from those take-no-prisoners female warriors who knew exactly how to dominate – both in battle and between the sheets.

These legendary Amazons didn’t just kick ass with weapons. They ran their own show, only bothering with men when they wanted to get laid or make babies. They called the shots. Conquered whoever they wanted. Took their pleasure exactly how they liked it.

When you’re in the amazonian sex position, you’re channeling that same “I’m taking what I want” energy. Watching your partner squirm with pleasure under your complete control is a power trip worth every drop of sweat.

How to Dominate Him with the Amazon Sex Technique

This position flips the script on who’s running the show. Tired of him thinking he’s in charge? This squatting woman on top position puts you in control while he lies back and takes whatever you decide to give him.

Here’s what makes it pleasurable:

  • You’re squatting over him like a goddess on her throne, controlling exactly how deep he goes
  • He’s flat on his back with his knees pulled up, surrendered to your rhythm
  • You get to watch his face while you ride him deeper than he thought possible
  • This position leaves him helpless to do anything but moan your name

Unlike the comfort of classic cowgirl, the amazon sex technique demands some serious thigh game. The burn is nothing compared to the rush you get from having him at your mercy. My partner’s eyes rolled back. Complete surrender. That moment when I realized I controlled every sensation? Worth a week of sore muscles.

The Journal of Sexual Health confirms that women’s sexual satisfaction increases when they have control over movement and angle during intimate encounters, as these positions allow for better stimulation of pleasure zones and enhanced orgasm likelihood.

How to Mount Him Amazon-Style

Ready to turn him into your devoted partner in pleasure? Follow these steps to claim your throne:

Lay him out: Get him flat on the bed. Tell him it’s your turn to run the show tonight.

Fold him up: Have him pull his knees toward his chest. Yeah, it looks a little ridiculous – like he’s about to get his diaper changed – but that vulnerable position is what makes this hot.

Take your position: Squat over him, positioning yourself to slide down onto him. Make sure his thighs are pressed against his body – that angle is what makes this position hit so deep.

Ride him senseless: Use those thigh muscles to move up and down on him. His bent legs create resistance that pushes back against you with each movement, creating a rhythm that’ll have you both moaning loud.

Real talk: I nearly collapsed the first time I tried this. When your legs start shaking (and they will), grab whatever’s available – headboard, his shoulders, his face, whatever. Looking graceful is the last thing you should care about when you’re about to have an intense orgasm.

Amazon Position Variations to Blow His Mind

Even warrior goddesses switch up their tactics. Here are three ways to conquer him depending on how adventurous you’re feeling:

1. Classic Amazon Sex Position

The original setup where you’re facing him while squatting over those bent legs. You control everything – how hard, how deep, how fast – while watching his face contort with pleasure as you use his body for your satisfaction. The eye contact in this position is intense and borders on psychological warfare.

2. Reverse Amazon Position

A hot brunette with long hair is on top of her partner in a reverse amazon pose, her legs spread as she leans forward, controlling the rhythm while he lies beneath her.

Flip around and face away from him for a variation that’ll have you seeing stars. Similar to reverse cowgirl but with a deeper angle that hits spots you didn’t know existed. Plus, he gets a front-row view of your backside in action – a visual he’ll be fantasizing about for weeks. This angle works perfectly for anal too if you’re in a backdoor mood.

3. Kneeling Amazon Position

A stunning woman with pink hair, dressed in a sexy blue outfit and bunny ears, dominating her partner in the amazon position. She sits on top, taking control and enjoying the moment while he lies beneath her.

Your thighs are gonna burn after a few minutes. When your legs start trembling, drop to your knees while keeping him inside you. You’ll still control every thrust, but you won’t collapse mid-climax. I discovered this variation by necessity during a marathon session, and it saved what became one of the best intimate experiences of my life.

Mix it up with different rhythms, angles, or add a vibrator to the equation. This is your playground – drive him to the edge of control if that’s what gets you off.

Important Safety Note: Check that your partner is comfortable with the knee flexibility required. If he has any knee or hip issues, this position might not be suitable. Start with shorter sessions to build up to longer encounters.

Why You Need This Position in Your Life

The Amazon position isn’t just about looking like a badass (though that’s a perk). Here’s why you need this position in your sexual arsenal:

Complete dominance: You control the depth, angle, and pace of penetration while he lies there enjoying the view

G-spot access that’ll make you see stars: The angle hits that sweet spot with every movement

Strong intimacy: The intense eye contact creates a primal connection that’s hard to match

Hands-free fun: Your hands are free to touch yourself or him however you please

Confidence booster: Taking complete control is empowering and carries over into other aspects of your sex life

Why the Amazon Position Will Ruin You for Basic Sex

Why should you add this position to your intimate repertoire? Here’s why:

Intense eye contact: You’re staring into his eyes while you take your pleasure, watching every expression as he loses control. It’s primal and intense, turning most men into quivering messes.

Power trip like no other: When you want to remind him whose body runs the show. There’s something intoxicating about watching a man surrender while you use him how you want.

Your hands are free to explore: Both hands are available to touch yourself, caress your breasts, or grab his throat – all while he’s pinned beneath you, forced to watch as you take your pleasure.

G-spot jackpot: The angle hits your G-spot perfectly, while giving your sensitive areas all the access they need for dual stimulation. The climaxes? They’re incredible.

I’ve had partners beg me to do this position again after experiencing it once. It balances that power rush with an intense level of intimate connection. Once you’ve experienced reaching the peak while staring into someone’s eyes from the amazon position, regular sex starts to feel like you’re just going through the motions.

The Reality: Amazon Position Struggles

This position isn’t effortless ecstasy. Here’s what might disrupt your flow:

Your thighs will demand mercy

Unless you’ve been doing squats like your life depends on it, your legs are going to burn. The first time I tried this, my thighs were trembling so hard it looked like I was having a seizure. When that happens, switch to the kneeling variation before you collapse.

Research from Frontiers in Sports and Active Living confirms that physical activity has positive effects on sexual self-esteem and satisfaction, with studies showing that regular exercise enhances both body confidence and sexual well-being – making positions like Amazon even more rewarding for those who stay active.

The body geometry equation

Height differences, body proportions, and size all affect how easily you’ll find your groove. My tallest partner and I had to solve a physics equation to make this work, but it was worth it. Don’t get frustrated if it’s not perfect right away – laugh through the awkward adjustments until you find that angle that makes both of you gasp.

Awkward moments happen

His knees might bump your chest, you might tumble sideways when you’re right on the edge, or one of you might make a strange sound at the worst moment. That’s intimacy – it’s messy and sometimes ridiculous. My partner and I fell off the bed trying this once, and we still count it as one of our hottest nights ever after we stopped laughing.

When Your Thighs Say “No More”

When the burn hits, here’s how to keep the pleasure going:

Grind, don’t bounce: Stop with the high-energy movements and switch to grinding your hips in circles. It feels better for your sensitive areas anyway.

Slow your roll: Pause deep inside him and just squeeze your muscles around him while you catch your breath. The tease will drive him wild while you recover.

Use his body for support: Grab his thighs, shoulders, or chest for stability. He’s pinned under you anyway – might as well use him as your personal support system.

Transition smoothly: When your legs are exhausted, switch to a more sustainable position where you can still dominate but without the workout.

Communicate what you need: “Hold my hips while I finish” or “I need to shift” aren’t just helpful instructions – they’re hot commands.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Amazon Position

What exactly is the Amazon position? It’s where you squat over your partner while they lie on their back with knees pulled toward their chest, at your mercy. You control how deep, how hard, and how fast things go while maintaining eye contact. It’s less “making love” and more “I’m going to use your body for my pleasure.”

Why is it called the Amazon position? It’s named after those warrior women from Greek mythology who dominated men and only kept them around when they wanted physical satisfaction. The position puts you in complete control – you’re the Amazon warrior, and his body is your conquest.

How is this different from regular Cowgirl? In Cowgirl, his legs are flat and relaxed. In Amazon, his knees are bent toward his chest, which changes the whole dynamic. The angle lets you take him deeper than you thought possible, puts you in a more dominant squat, and makes him look more vulnerable and submissive. It’s Cowgirl with a power upgrade.

Will I reach peak pleasure from this? Yes. The angle hits your G-spot perfectly, and you have freedom to touch yourself or add a vibrator. I’ve had some of my most intense moments of pleasure in this position because the combination of physical stimulation and psychological dominance creates incredible sensations.

What if my legs start giving out? Switch to grinding instead of bouncing, grab something stable for support, or transition to the kneeling version. Worst case, just tell him “I’m going to ride you cowgirl now” – trust me, he’s not going to complain about you staying on top in any form.
