Your Most Asked Questions About Pearly Gates Position
Is this position manageable for beginners? It requires coordination and balance, so try basic cowgirl first to build confidence with woman-on-top control.

What’s the best way to maintain balance? Keep your feet planted wide on the bed and use your partner’s chest for support while they hold you.
Does this actually provide good G-spot stimulation? The angle naturally directs contact toward your front vaginal wall, making G-spot stimulation likely with proper positioning.
