In this posture, the person receiving penetration sits astride the penetrating person, with their legs around the latter's waist. The flat and stable surface provides better control over movement and depth of penetration.

Why this position works

This posture is appreciated for the intimacy it offers, as partners can look into each other's eyes and maintain close physical contact. Additionally, the person receiving penetration has better control over the rhythm and depth, which can enhance pleasure.

Amazona on the table: sexual position with intimate connection

The Amazon posture on the table is a variation of the cowgirl position, where the couple faces each other on a stable surface, such as a table or high bed. This posture allows for an intimate and visual connection, facilitating control over penetration and clitoral stimulation.
