Reverse amazon - Definition and Overview

In the reverse Amazon or reverse cowgirl sex position,

• the man lies on his back
• the woman sits on top of him facing away from him, with his legs between her legs, and with her groin aligned over his to facilitate penetration.

It is one of a number of female superior sexual positions.

Features

• penetration is quite deep
• the woman can control the depth and intensity of penetration, and enjoy the dominant feeling of being in control
• some men enjoy the submissive feeling of being on the bottom

Disadvantages

• neither partner can see the other well
• caressing is difficult
• some women find supporting their weight on their arms hard

Since the penis is bent downwards in this position, care needs to be taken in this position, to avoid damage to the penis, particularly if it slips out during intercourse.

The reverse Amazon is a popular position depicted in pornography aimed at men, as it provides the photographer with a full front view of the woman whilst hiding the man (except for his genitals) from view, behind her body.
