The Dawn's Sigh: reverse woman-on-top position on the sofa

She kneels astride him with both knees on the seat cushion, fully facing away from him.

Instead of sitting in a three-quarter turn with one knee down, she places both knees on the cushion on either side of his hips. She sits more squarely with her back to him, her weight is shared evenly between both knees, and it is easier to rise and lower in a straight line.

1. He reclines along the sofa with his head on the armrest and one foot on the floor.
2. She straddles his hips facing away from him, with one knee on the cushion on each side.
3. She lowers herself slowly, guiding the penis with one hand.
4. She moves with short rocking or up-and-down movements, keeping part of her weight on her knees.

She tilts her torso forward and rests her hands on his thighs or knees.

Leaning forward shifts part of her weight onto her hands and changes the angle of penetration, which some people find presses more on the front wall of the vagina. It also takes load off her thighs, but her clitoris becomes harder to reach with her own hand.

1. Start in the basic position, with her sitting upright on him.
2. She slowly leans her torso forward and places her hands on his thighs or knees.
3. She rocks her hips back and forth rather than bouncing.
4. He can hold her hips to accompany the movement without pushing.

She leans her torso back and supports herself with one hand on his chest or on the sofa.

Leaning back brings her torso closer to his and changes the angle of the penis inside the vagina. Movements become shorter and slower, and with her body open towards the ceiling, her free hand reaches the clitoris more easily and he can caress her torso.

1. From the basic position, she places one hand on his chest or on the seat behind her.
2. She slowly leans her torso back, keeping her knee on the cushion.
3. She moves with small circles or rocking of the hips.
4. She uses her free hand on her clitoris while he caresses her torso or hips.

A firm cushion under his lower back raises his pelvis and changes the angle of entry.

With his pelvis slightly raised, the penis points more upwards, so she does not need to lift as much and penetration can feel fuller with smaller movements. It can also ease the strain on her thighs.

1. He places a firm cushion under his lower back before reclining on the sofa.
2. She sits astride him facing away, with one knee on the cushion as in the basic position.
3. She lowers herself gradually and tests the new angle.
4. She keeps the movements short; if the angle is uncomfortable, remove or change the cushion.

She stays seated on him and moves only her hips in circles or back and forth, without lifting.

The position does not change, only the rhythm: with the penis staying deep inside, there is no up-and-down stroke. This keeps constant pressure, lets her press her vulva against his pelvis and reduces the risk of the penis slipping out and bending.

1. Start in the basic position, with her fully seated on his pelvis.
2. She keeps her weight down and draws slow circles or back-and-forth movements with her hips.
3. She can add her hand on her clitoris to combine both stimuli.
4. Speed up or slow down according to what she feels, without lifting off him.
