Reverse Cowgirl Position: How to Master This Dangerously Hot Technique

Your Ass is the Star of This Show (And It’s About to Steal the Night)

Looking for a sexy move to blow your partner’s mind tonight? Look no further – this backward-facing riding style is exactly what you need! If you haven’t tried this technique yet, you’re seriously missing out on incredible sex. It gives you the perfect combo of ass-focused visuals, intense penetration, and a power dynamic that will drive both of you wild.

The first time I slowly lowered myself into reverse cowgirl, watching my partner’s eyes widen as I took complete control, I didn’t just give them a visual feast – I discovered an angle of penetration that sent waves of pleasure through spots I didn’t even know existed. It transformed me from someone who struggled to orgasm during penetration to a woman who could climax on command while watching their reaction in pure awe. Trust me, this position is worth every bit of the delicious thigh burn you’ll feel the next day.

If you love taking control during sex, you’ll want to explore our complete collection of cowgirl positions that put you in the driver’s seat of pleasure.

What Is This Technique?

This backwards-facing style is a hot variation of the classic cowgirl position where one partner rides on top but faces away – giving an incredible view of their backside while they take complete control. The top partner straddles their lover who lies flat on their back, creating a reverse riding arrangement that hits all the right spots with precision that will make your toes curl.

Unlike the standard face-to-face version where you’re looking at each other, in this setup you’re facing your partner’s feet, showing off your ass and creating an entirely different sensation that will make both of you moan uncontrollably. It’s not just another position – it’s a complete power exchange wrapped in a visually stunning package that ignites every nerve ending.

How It Works

In this rear-facing pose:

• The person on top sits facing their partner’s feet (showing off their ass in all its glory)
• The bottom partner lies flat enjoying the view and sensation
• The rider controls everything – speed, depth, and grinding motions that build waves of pleasure
• Both get totally different stimulation that sends electricity through your entire body

What makes this position so wickedly good is the combination of visual stimulation for one partner and unique physical sensation that creates ripples of pleasure through both bodies. When I’m in reverse cowgirl, I’m not just having sex – I’m putting on a show that drives my partner absolutely wild while hitting my own pleasure spots with the kind of precision that makes my breath catch.

Why It Feels So Damn Good

What’s In It For The Rider

For the partner on top, this backward-riding style is incredibly amazing because:

• Total control over how deep, how fast, and how hard – like having your own custom pleasure machine
• Power trip from being the one calling all the shots while watching their reaction
• G-spot or prostate stimulation from that perfect angle that sends shockwaves through your core
• Freedom to move exactly how you need to get off, creating your own rhythm of ecstasy
• Self-pleasure access so you can touch yourself while riding, amplifying every sensation

In this arrangement, you’re basically a sex goddess with all the power. You’ll feel like a tigress in control – deciding exactly how you want it while waves of pleasure build through your entire body. Want it deeper? Lean forward and feel that electric jolt. Need more clitoral action? Grind harder and let those tremors take over.

The first time I found my perfect reverse cowgirl angle, I swear I saw stars as pleasure crashed through my body in waves. There’s something incredibly liberating about taking exactly what you want while knowing you’re providing an unforgettable visual experience that makes your partner’s eyes roll back in pure bliss. I’ve had partners literally beg me for this position after experiencing the intoxicating combination of visual feast and intense sensation.

What’s In It For The Bottom Partner

For the partner lying down, this backward-facing experience sends pleasure coursing through every nerve:

• Front-row visual of your partner’s ass bouncing and grinding in hypnotic rhythm
• Unique sensations from a totally different angle that hits spots you never knew existed
• Relaxation while still getting intense pleasure that builds to explosive release
• Free hands to grab their hips, ass, or reach around for extra fun that amplifies their moans
• Less work than most setups while feeling incredible sensations that make your body tremble

Let’s be honest – watching your partner’s ass while they ride you is hot as hell, creating a visual symphony that makes your heart race. You get to lie back, enjoy the show, and feel incredible sensations without doing all the work. What’s not to love? Some of my partners have told me they literally couldn’t last more than a few minutes in this position because the combination of visual stimulation and unique physical sensation created pleasure so intense it was almost overwhelming.

Real Talk: This Can Be Dangerous!

Before you jump into this arrangement, you need to know something important – the backward-straddle can actually hurt your partner if you’re not careful:

Warning: Medical research published in urological journals shows this riding style causes nearly 50% of all penile fractures during sex. Yes, you can actually break a penis if you’re not careful!

I know a couple who ended up in the ER because they got too enthusiastic with reverse cowgirl before they’d mastered the proper alignment. Nothing kills the mood like a midnight trip to the emergency room with your partner doubled over in pain. Trust me, it’s not a story you want to share at parties.

To keep everyone safe while having amazing sex:

• Start slow before going wild with the bouncing
• Talk to each other – “Does this angle feel good?” or “Slow down a bit”
• Watch your angles – if it bends weird, it can break (seriously)
• Use plenty of lube – friction is NOT your friend here
• Change to a different pose immediately if something feels off or painful

No orgasm is worth a trip to the ER. If something doesn’t feel right, switch positions. Trust me on this one – I learned the hard way when I almost injured a partner by getting the angle slightly wrong. We quickly switched to classic cowgirl and saved ourselves a potentially painful and embarrassing situation.

Now that we’ve covered staying safe, let’s talk about driving each other absolutely wild…

How to Do It Like a Pro

Want to master this backward-facing technique? Follow these steps for incredible sex:

1. Get into position: Bottom partner lies flat on their back with their cock or strap-on pointing up.
2. Mount up: Top partner straddles them facing AWAY from their face (looking at their feet).
3. Get stable: Put your hands on their thighs, knees, or the bed for balance.
4. Start the ride: Begin with slow grinding motions to find what angle sends electricity through your body.
5. Mix up your moves: Try bouncing up and down, grinding in circles, or rocking back and forth to create waves of pleasure.
6. Find what works: Check in with quick “that good?” or “faster?” questions to dial in what drives them wild.

The first time I tried reverse cowgirl, I focused too much on the bouncing and not enough on finding the right angle that would make my body sing. Once I learned to start with gentle grinding motions to locate that sweet spot that made my breath catch, then gradually increased intensity until pleasure was coursing through every nerve, both my partner and I experienced sensations so intense we couldn’t form coherent sentences for minutes afterward.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem: Can’t find the right angle (it slips out or hurts) Fix it: Try leaning forward more (hands on bed) or backward (hands on their legs). Put a pillow under their ass to change the angle completely. I discovered that leaning forward about 30 degrees with my hands on my partner’s knees gave me the perfect angle to hit that spot that makes my toes curl while keeping him comfortably aligned.

Problem: Losing your balance and coordination Fix it: Grab onto their knees for stability or plant your feet wider. Don’t try to bounce too high until you’re comfortable. The first few times I tried reverse cowgirl, I nearly toppled over until I learned to grip my partner’s thighs for stability – now I can ride with confidence that lets me focus entirely on the building pleasure.

If you find the leg work challenging, you might want to try the classic cowgirl position first – it’s easier on your thighs while you build up the strength and confidence for more advanced riding techniques.

Problem: It hurts the bottom partner’s penis/strap-on Fix it: You’re probably bending it at a weird angle! Align your bodies better and use more lube. Start with gentle movements until you find the right configuration that sends pleasure through both of you. When my partner winced during my first attempt at reverse cowgirl, we immediately slowed down, adjusted the angle, and found a position that made waves of sensation crash through both our bodies.

Problem: Your legs get tired too fast Fix it: Switch between bouncing (uses thighs) and grinding (uses hips) to give different muscles a break while maintaining that delicious friction. Also try squatting instead of kneeling. The leg burn is real – the first time I maintained reverse cowgirl for more than five minutes, my thighs were trembling from both exertion and the intense pleasure building through my core. Now I’ve learned to pace myself by alternating between movements that use different muscle groups while keeping the pleasure building.

Hot Tips to Make It Even Better

Take your backward-riding experience from good to absolutely amazing with these expert tips:

Level Up Your Technique

Play with angles: Lean forward to hit your G-spot with waves of pleasure that make your back arch, or lean back for deeper penetration that sends shockwaves through your entire body. I discovered that leaning forward at a 45-degree angle created a sensation so intense, stars exploded behind my eyelids as pleasure consumed every nerve ending.

Change locations: Try it on a chair where they sit while you ride, or on the edge of the couch for better leverage and deeper thrusting that makes you both gasp. The first time I tried reverse cowgirl on an armchair, the added stability gave me confidence to try movements that sent electric jolts of pleasure through both our bodies. For more seated variations that add stability and comfort, explore the lap dance position for incredible grinding control.

Add props: Throw a pillow under their ass or your knees – it can completely transform the sensation and make everything more comfortable while amplifying every touch. A single pillow under my partner’s hips changed the angle just enough to hit that sweet spot with every movement, creating waves of pleasure that built to an explosive crescendo.

Get handsy: Reach back and grab their balls or stimulate yourself while riding, creating multiple sources of pleasure that build together. Bottom partner – reach around and rub their clit or touch their ass. The combination of penetration and manual stimulation sent cascading waves of ecstasy through my body faster than any other position I’ve tried.

Talk Dirty

Be direct: Don’t just ask “feel good?” Say exactly what you want: “You like when I bounce like this?” or “Tell me when I’m hitting the right spot that makes you throb.” The first time I explicitly told my partner what I wanted during reverse cowgirl, their response was immediate and explosive, sending pleasure shooting through both our bodies.

Use your body: Moan when something feels amazing and sends tremors through your core, grab their leg hard when you want more intensity, or guide their hands where you want to be touched. I’ve found that arching my back and letting out an unfiltered moan that comes from deep in my throat communicates the building pleasure more than words ever could.

Have a safe signal: A simple tap on the leg can mean “ease up” without killing the mood that’s building between your bodies. When things got too intense during an especially vigorous session that had me seeing stars, a quick double tap on my partner’s thigh communicated everything without breaking the rhythm of pleasure.

Make It Even Hotter

Add toys: A vibrator on a clit during this setup can lead to explosive orgasms that ripple through both bodies. The first time I incorporated a small vibrator while in reverse cowgirl, I experienced waves of pleasure so intense they left me shaking – and my partner wasn’t far behind, overwhelmed by the visual and physical intensity.

Mix up tempo: Start with slow grinding circles that build heat, then surprise them with fast bouncing that creates electric jolts – the contrast will drive them wild with need. I love watching my partner’s face when I suddenly switch from gentle grinding to energetic bouncing – the look of surprise mixed with pleasure is absolutely intoxicating.

Power play: Rider can pin the bottom partner’s legs down while riding them, or bottom partner can grab and control the rider’s hips with firm hands. Adding a dominance element to reverse cowgirl amplified the excitement coursing through both our bodies beyond what I thought possible.

Sensory tease: Try a blindfold on the bottom partner – not seeing what you’re about to do creates insane anticipation that makes every touch electric. When I blindfolded my partner before mounting in reverse cowgirl, every movement I made elicited gasps of surprise and moans of pleasure that sent shivers down my spine.

Sexy Variations to Try

Once you’ve gotten comfortable with the basic backward-riding technique, spice things up with these hot variations:

Betty Rocker Position

The rider leans all the way forward, putting their hands on the bed or partner’s ankles. This angle hits the G-spot or prostate perfectly and gives the bottom partner an even better view of everything while creating sensations that make your legs shake. The first time I tried this variation, pleasure crashed through me so intensely I actually got lightheaded – it’s that overwhelming in the best possible way. This forward-leaning technique is so good it deserves its own spotlight in the Betty Rocker position – a grinding masterpiece that maximizes clitoral contact while maintaining deep penetration.

The Deep Impact Squat

Instead of kneeling, the top partner squats over their partner like they’re doing a gym squat. This setup takes more strength but holy hell, the penetration sends waves of intensity through your core. This lets you bounce with more power and control exactly how deep you take it, creating sensations that border on overwhelming. The angle is also incredible for anal play – the natural positioning and depth control make it perfect for exploring backdoor pleasure safely. I was deliciously sore for days after mastering this variation, but the intense orgasms that left me trembling were worth every ache.

The Sidewinder

Start in the basic backward-facing stance but twist your upper body to the side so you can look back at your partner. This twisting creates a tight internal sensation that feels amazing for both of you and adds some eye contact to this otherwise visually-focused experience.

For extra comfort and intimacy, try this variation with your partner sitting up against a headboard, in the car with seat support, or on a soft chair with a back – this lets you lean against their chest while they kiss your neck and let their hands roam your body. Adding that moment of intense eye contact during the height of pleasure created an unexpected intimacy that sent electricity through both our bodies and took the experience to a whole new level.

What Makes It Feel So Damn Good

There’s a reason this rear-facing technique makes people lose their minds with pleasure:

• Perfect angle for hitting the right spots – it stimulates zones that send shockwaves through your body that other arrangements miss completely
• Visual feast for the bottom partner – they get an unobstructed view that makes their heart race
• Power dynamic – one person controls everything while the other surrenders to pure sensation
• Easy access for playing with yourself or adding toys that amplify every wave of pleasure
• The taboo factor – not making eye contact can feel dirty and exciting in ways that make your skin flush

The combination of physical pleasure and psychological turn-ons creates an intensity that courses through every nerve ending. Studies show that sexual wellness encompasses both physical pleasure and emotional intimacy, with couples who maintain intimate connections reporting higher levels of sexual satisfaction – which explains why this position creates such powerful experiences when done right.

It’s different enough from your regular routine to feel exciting but not so complicated that you need a sex manual to figure it out.

When I discovered reverse cowgirl, it completely changed my sex life. Something about the freedom to focus entirely on my own building pleasure while knowing I was giving my partner an incredible visual experience unleashed a sexual confidence that sent electricity through my entire being – confidence I didn’t know I had.

When to Try It

This setup is perfect when:

• You want to switch things up from your usual routine
• The rider wants to take complete control and create their own waves of pleasure
• You’re in the mood for something more visually exciting that makes hearts race
• You’ve already gotten things hot with foreplay or other moves that have you both trembling
• You’re comfortable enough to communicate what sends electricity through your body

Pro tip: Don’t make this your first move of the night. It works best after you’re already warmed up and ready for more intense action that builds on the pleasure already coursing through your bodies. I’ve found that starting with some classic cowgirl before flipping around to reverse creates the perfect buildup that has us both desperate for more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Reverse Cowgirl

Is reverse cowgirl really that dangerous, or is it just hype? It’s not hype – this position genuinely causes nearly 50% of penile fractures during sex, according to medical studies. The backward angle can bend the penis unnaturally if you’re not careful with alignment and movement. But don’t let that scare you away from incredible pleasure. Start slow, communicate constantly, use plenty of lube, and pay attention to angles. I’ve safely enjoyed this position countless times by respecting the risks and taking proper precautions. The secret is building up gradually rather than going wild from the start.

What’s the best way to get into reverse cowgirl without it being awkward? Start in regular cowgirl, then slowly turn around while staying connected – it’s way smoother than trying to mount backwards from the beginning. Take your time with the transition, and don’t worry if you need a few attempts to find your rhythm. I remember my first try being a clumsy mess of readjusting until we found our groove. Once you nail the positioning, muscle memory kicks in and it becomes second nature. Pro tip: have your partner guide your hips during those first few sessions.

Which toys work best with reverse cowgirl to make it even more intense? Bullet vibrators are absolute game-changers – the rider can easily control clitoral stimulation while maintaining the perfect riding rhythm. Vibrating cock rings add sensation for both partners and are nearly hands-free once in place. For advanced play, try curved G-spot vibrators that the bottom partner can control, or remote-controlled couples’ toys that add an element of surprise. I’ve found that small, powerful bullet vibes give the most reliable results because they don’t interfere with movement but dramatically amplify every sensation.

How do I know if I’m hitting the right angle for maximum pleasure? You’ll know when you hit that sweet spot – there’s usually an immediate gasp and grab-the-sheets reaction from both partners. For G-spot stimulation, lean slightly forward; for deeper penetration, stay more upright or lean back. The bottom partner’s feedback is crucial – they should tell you immediately when something feels incredible. Don’t be afraid to experiment with small angle adjustments. When I found my perfect reverse cowgirl angle, my partner’s eyes literally rolled back and I felt waves of pleasure I’d never experienced before.

Can reverse cowgirl work for couples with different body types or sizes? Absolutely! This position is actually quite adaptable for different body combinations. If there’s a significant height difference, the shorter partner on top can use their knees and feet to adjust height and leverage. Plus-size bodies often find reverse cowgirl incredibly comfortable because weight distribution is naturally supported. For couples where the penetrating partner has a smaller penis, this position can actually create tighter sensations. The key is patience and communication while you figure out what works best for your specific bodies – every couple’s perfect angle is different.
