Much as we might all want to channel our inner cowgirl, sometimes it's just easier said than done. Being on top during sex puts you in a vulnerable position and it can be intimidating and tricky to master for some. If you're having trouble feeling confident when you're on top during sex, don't worry! But there are tons of helpful tricks and tips to mastering how to do woman-on-top. From spelling certain letters or words with your hips, grabbing onto a surface to stabilize yourself, and adding toys into the mix, there are a ton of actionable ways to improve your on-top experience.

Woman on top is any sex position in which the woman is on top of her sexual partner during sexual activity. The position most commonly associated with the woman on top is often called the cowgirl or riding position, which derives its name from the image of the woman "riding" the man as a cowgirl rides a bucking horse. In that position, a man typically lies on his back with his legs closed, while the female partner straddles him, usually in a kneeling position facing either forward or back, and either the man or woman inserts the man's erect penis into the woman's vagina or anus. In any of the woman on top positions, the woman is usually the active partner during sexual activity, and in addition to satisfying herself can stimulate or massage the man's scrotum , especially if his legs are spread.

When your partner of any gender! If your partner has a vulva, they're more likely to orgasm, too, since they can control exactly where and how hard you hit that region of the internal clitoris known as the G-spot. You should also change up exactly how your partner rides you—because even though cowgirl is a gift from the gods, it will grow stale if you do it every time.

I can only come during sex when I am on top. It took me about 28 years to realize it I just thought I was a woman who could not orgasm , but once I found the right angle and positioning, I realized that cowgirl is the right kind of girl for me. So to me, woman on top sex positions should be where it's at.
