Rider: squatting cowgirl, face to face

The receiver lowers their knees onto the bed on either side of their partner's hips instead of staying on their feet.

Only the receiver's legs change: shins and knees on the mattress instead of the soles of the feet. The thighs rest, the position is more stable and the movement becomes more of a rocking back and forth than rising and lowering. It is the easiest way to rest without changing position.

1. From the squat, the receiver leans their hands on their partner's chest.
2. They lower one knee and then the other onto the mattress, on either side of their partner's hips.
3. They settle their weight on their knees and let their hips rock back and forth.
4. Once rested, they can return to the squat the same way.

The penetrating partner props their back up on two or three pillows against the headboard, so their torso is raised and closer to the receiver.

Only the support of the partner underneath changes: their upper back is raised on pillows instead of lying flat. Your faces come closer, which makes eye contact easier and even allows kissing if the receiver leans in; the receiver can rest their hands on their partner's shoulders instead of the chest. The angle of penetration changes slightly.

1. The penetrating partner sits back against the headboard with two or three firm pillows behind their back.
2. The receiver squats over their pelvis, face to face, with feet on the bed.
3. The receiver rests their hands on their partner's shoulders or chest.
4. They rise and lower with short strokes; the partner underneath can hold their hips.

Still squatting, the receiver leans their torso back and rests their hands on their partner's thighs behind them instead of on the chest.

Only the receiver's torso and hands change: they lean back and support themselves on their partner's thighs. The angle of penetration changes, the front of their body is open to their partner's view and hands, and either of you can reach the clitoris more easily. It asks more of balance and arms, so keep strokes small.

1. Start in the basic position, with the receiver's hands on their partner's chest.
2. The receiver moves their hands back one at a time and places them on their partner's thighs.
3. They let their torso lean back slowly while staying on their feet.
4. They move with small up-and-down or rocking movements; the partner underneath can steady them by the waist.

The penetrating partner moves their hands from the receiver's knees to their hips or buttocks and helps them rise and lower.

Only the hands of the partner underneath change: instead of resting on the receiver's knees, they hold the hips and take part of the weight on each stroke. The receiver's thighs work less and the rhythm becomes shared, although the receiver still decides how far down they go. The partner underneath should accompany the movement, not pull downwards.

1. Start in the basic position.
2. The penetrating partner places their hands on the receiver's hips or the lower part of the buttocks.
3. As the receiver rises, the partner lifts gently; as the receiver lowers, the partner lets them come down at their own pace.
4. Agree on the rhythm and keep strokes short.

The partner underneath uses a thumb or fingers on the receiver's clitoris while they move, or the receiver does it with one hand.

Only the hands change: the partner underneath takes one hand off the receiver's knee and places a thumb on the clitoris, or the receiver supports themselves on one hand and uses the other. Leaning a little further back makes it easier to reach. The receiver usually slows down and moves in shorter strokes to keep both rhythms together.

1. Start in the basic position.
2. The receiver leans back slightly to leave room between your bodies.
3. The partner underneath places a thumb or two fingers on the clitoris, with a little lube; or the receiver does it with one hand.
4. Match the hand to the receiver's movement and talk about pressure and speed.
