Illustration of The Reverse Cowgirl
Anatomy and biomechanics

The receiver lies on their back; the person on top adopts an inverted seated position (facing their feet). The posterior-inverted angle affects the posterior wall and completely changes the geometry compared to the classic cowgirl. Leaning the torso forward (hands on the shins) accentuates the angle.

Why this position works

Offers an angle that no frontal position provides, with control in the hands of the person on top. The view from behind is an attraction in itself and allows playing with depth by leaning forward or backward. Very sought after for varying sensations without losing control.

Physical effort: Medium Control

The Reverse Cowgirl: the same control, a different angle

The naughty sister of the cowgirl: the person on top turns their back to their partner. The reverse angle offers different sensations and a view that many couples love.

2. Forward bend: accentuate the angle

Like the inverted position, with the torso leaned forward and the hands on the partner's shins.
