In this position, both bodies are positioned in a cowgirl stance, both on their knees. The receptive person rests on their forearms and knees, while the penetrative person stands behind, adjusting the height with cushions or the edge of the bed to maintain a comfortable and stable position.

Why this position works

This position allows for deep and controlled penetration, ideal for stimulating internal sensitive areas. Additionally, the kneeling position facilitates movement and allows for adjustments for more comfort.

G-spot: what the evidence says

“G-spot” is a widely used term for a sensitive area of the anterior vaginal wall. Scientific literature has not established a discrete anatomical structure with an agreed location, size and nature; sensitivity and response can vary between individuals.

A-spot / AFE zone: limited evidence

The “A-spot” or AFE zone has been proposed to describe a deeper area of the anterior vaginal wall. Available evidence is limited and does not support presenting it as a confirmed anatomical structure.
