The woman-on-top sex position is ideal for several reasons: It can feel more pleasurable, allow you more control over the speed and depth of the experience, and let your partner see you in all your sexy glory. 

Plus, pulling off the woman-on-top sex position can make you feel confident in the bedroom too, which is a turn-on all by itself. Not convinced?

Here are a few tips to help you master the woman-on-top sex position and enjoy all it has to offer. 

First Things First

First up, get yourself into position by having your man lay on his back on the bed, floor, couch, or chair. (Wherever is comfortable for both of you!)

Next, climb on top of him, straddling his lap with your legs on either side of him.

Prepare for Entry

Once you’re in position for, you can begin to tease him using whatever parts of your body feel good. You can grind on his penis, stimulate yourself, or just invite him to explore your body with his hands.

When you’re both ready, you can use the bed (or the back of the couch) for support to lift yourself up into position. Then lower yourself back down, guiding his penis until he’s inside of you. You’re officially in the woman on top sex position!

Rock On

Continue bracing yourself with one hand on the headboard as you begin to slowly move up and down, building up some steam.

If that’s too awkward (it may require a little bit of practice), simply rock your hips in slow circles while he’s inside you. He can help you if he holds onto your hips and guides you in circles.

Free Play

While you’re rocking up and down or side to side, you can encourage your man to explore your breasts with his hands or mouth, which always feels fantastic. You might find that him grabbing your rear is also a turn-on.

Find Your Rhythm (And Adjust)

Be careful about moving too forcefully — you don’t want to bend him uncomfortably. And be prepared to have him occasionally pop out of position. Simply put him back inside and keep going.

And don’t be afraid to experiment with movements that feel good for you, too. You might find that bending over more adds more clitoral stimulation for you. 

Practice Makes Perfect

If at first you don’t succeed with the woman on top sex position, just try, try again.

Just like anything else, the woman-on-top position requires some practice before you get it right. But once you do, you may never want to go back!
