The Whispering Pendulum: squatting reverse cowgirl

She lowers her knees to the mattress on either side of his hips instead of squatting.

Only her legs change: knees and shins on the bed instead of feet. It is far less tiring for her thighs and more stable, but her up-and-down travel is shorter, so she moves more by rocking her hips.

1. Start in the base position.
2. She places one knee and then the other on the mattress beside his hips.
3. She keeps her torso upright, hands on his thighs if she wants.
4. She rocks her hips forwards and back.

She leans her torso forward and rests her hands on his shins or knees.

Only her torso changes: it tilts forward and her hands take part of the weight on his legs. Her thighs work less and the angle changes; it bends the penis further forward, so she should go gently and stop if he feels discomfort.

1. Start in the base position.
2. She leans forward slowly and places her hands on his shins or knees.
3. She checks with him that the angle is comfortable.
4. She moves with short up-and-down movements.

She leans her torso back and places her hands on the bed beside his chest.

Only her torso changes: it tilts back and her hands rest on the mattress on either side of his torso. Her pelvis tilts forward, which changes the angle and leaves her clitoris more exposed for his hand or hers. The movement becomes shorter and slower.

1. Start in the base position.
2. She leans back slowly and places her hands on the bed beside his chest.
3. She keeps her feet planted and her knees apart.
4. She rocks her hips gently; he or she can add a hand on the clitoris.

He bends his knees with his feet on the bed, and she holds on to his knees for balance.

Only his legs change: knees up and feet planted instead of legs straight. His knees become a handle for her, so she squats with more stability and less effort in her thighs. Her back stays upright.

1. He bends his knees and plants his feet on the bed, hip-width apart.
2. She squats over his pelvis facing his feet, between his legs.
3. She holds his knees with both hands.
4. She rises and lowers using his knees for support.

He leans back against pillows or the headboard, half sitting, so his chest is closer to her back.

Only his torso changes: half reclined instead of flat. His hands reach her waist, breasts and clitoris more easily, and he can kiss her shoulders. She keeps squatting facing his feet; the angle changes slightly, so check that it is comfortable for him.

1. He piles up two or three firm pillows or leans against the headboard.
2. He reclines half sitting with his legs straight.
3. She squats over his pelvis facing his feet.
4. He wraps his arms around her waist while she sets the pace.

She holds the squat slightly raised, hands on his thighs, and he moves his pelvis gently from below.

The position stays the same, but the rhythm passes to him: with his feet planted, he lifts and lowers his hips in short movements. Her thighs rest a little. Because she is above and facing away, he should keep the movements short and controlled so the penis does not slip out and bend.

1. Start in the base position.
2. She rests her hands on his thighs and stays still, slightly raised.
3. He bends his knees a little, plants his feet and lifts his pelvis in short movements.
4. Agree on a signal to switch back to her setting the pace.
