I probably don’t need to tell you how awesome sex can be when a woman is on top.
While you love to take the reins any which way, it’s extra delicious when she climbs aboard and does what she does with abandon and power.
Woman on top sex positions can mean greater pleasure for her, too, and there are a range of great positions to try out.
7 Woman on Top Sex Positions
1. Classic Woman on Top
The classic is pretty simple and self explanatory: she’s on top, you’re not. You are on your back, and she straddles you as if mounting a horse. This is why this one is often called “cowgirl.” Your hands are free to roam her breasts, clit, and ass. You can see her in all her glory.
2. Reverse Cowgirl
The favorite view of every male, everywhere. Here, she mounts you in reverse, rather than face to face. This is not for shy women or men—you get full view of her booty and all its moves.

3. Squatting Girl on Top
Instead of kneeling, she can squat and slide down your pole. She can use her hands for balance and support or bounce around from a squatting position. This gives maximum versatility for her hips to move and swing and really take that cock any way she wants it.
4. Sidesaddle
In this woman on top sex position, she squats, but with her legs at the side of you. This angle isn’t for everyone, but some women find a move to the side extremely pleasurable, and this is the best way to make it happen.
5. Woman Standing or Kneeling Behind You
On your knees, boy! This woman-on-top position is the best one for pegging—if she’s wearing a strap-on dildo in a harness and wants to fuck you with it, well, giddy up!

6. Chair Topping
Her on top on a sturdy chair works wonders as a variation. Young and flexible folks can get downright acrobatic, but for older women or those with knee concerns and other physical limitations, a stable chair is incredible. She can hold on to your shoulders or the back of the chair for support, and her knees will not have to take her weight.
She can use the floor for leverage and only bend her knees at natural angles. The chair is the solution for most people where woman on top positions aren’t working as well as they’d like!
7. The Lap Dance
The lap dance is pretty much the same as chair topping, but instead of straddling you face to face, she’s facing away. If you’re into watching her dance and disrobe this is just gorgeous, or if you’re into booty. She can basically sit right on your lap, move her ass around, and take you deep inside.

Why We Love Woman on Top Positions
She initiates the sex.
It’s not always the case, of course, but more often than not, she gets on top of you when it was her idea in the first place.
Few women still retain the old-fashioned, socially constructed narrative that a guy should initiate the sex all the time. We love to speak up and let you know you make us horny!
Even so, we initiate sex less often than you do. There are different reasons for that. I think one really is nature—guys have a more obvious, readable desire, for one thing. You see males in the animal kingdom suggesting sex more often than females.
Women’s confidence might be low at times, her hormones fluctuate, or maybe she’s not confident in how to read your response if she does take the reins.
We also get horny in response to your desire, at least some of the time. So I’m not going to initiate sex if I’m thinking about the dishes and not feeling turned on. But then, if YOU start making the signs, suddenly the hormones are flowing!
Even if she’s usually the one to suggest sex, it’s still super hot and on top is where she goes first, more often than not, when it’s all about her.

You get to relax and enjoy the show.
When she takes over with a woman on top sex position, you can relax and enjoy the sights and the sensations and the action. You don’t get to just lie back very often, so it’s extra sexy to take it all in when she wants to do the work. You get great eyefuls of her bouncing breasts, her ecstatic facial expressions, and all of her curves.
She can control her own pleasure.
When she’s astride you, she can take it at her own pace, as deep or shallow as she wants it. She can shift angles to get that cock against her G-spot, or to avoid thrusting too deeply if she’s sensitive. She can rub her clit against your shaft at exactly the pressure and speed she needs to get off. She can use her hands on her clit or ass, or put your hands where she wants them.
