Vulgar Chair: reverse squat leaning on the partner's raised legs
The Vulgar Chair is a reverse on-top position with a twist: the "chair" is not furniture but the penetrating partner's own legs. He lies on his back and pulls his bent legs up towards his chest, shins vertical, while she squats on his pelvis facing away from him and leans her back against his shins. She sets the rhythm with her legs; he steadies her by the buttocks. It is demanding for both and takes some practice, but it offers a different angle and plenty of control for the partner on top.
Also known as: Reverse cowgirl squat · Reverse squat with leg backrest
Anatomy and biomechanics
He lies flat on his back on the bed, head on the mattress, and raises both legs, bending the hips and knees so his thighs come towards his chest and his shins stand roughly upright. She squats over his pelvis facing away from his face, feet flat on the mattress on either side of his hips, knees bent and apart, and keeps her torso upright. She leans her back against his raised shins as if against the back of a chair, and holds one of his legs with one hand for balance. His hands rest on her buttocks or hips. Vaginal penetration happens from below and behind at medium depth, and she controls the rhythm by rising and lowering with her thighs. There is no eye contact or kissing, and body contact is limited to the pelvis, buttocks and back.
Why this position works
Some couples like it because the partner on top has a backrest that lets her stay upright and move with control, setting the depth and pace herself. Leaning back can change the angle of penetration, and some people find it reaches the front wall of the vagina in a pleasant way. One of her hands stays free to touch her clitoris. It has a playful, slightly acrobatic feel. Sensations vary from person to person.
Variations of this position
Variation 1: kneeling instead of squatting
She rests her knees on the mattress on either side of his hips instead of squatting, and keeps leaning back against his shins.
Moving from a squat to kneeling takes the load off her thighs and knee joints and makes balance easier. The movement becomes shorter, more of a hip rock than a rise and fall. It is the most comfortable way to start.
- He lies on his back and raises his bent legs towards his chest.
- She kneels over his pelvis facing away, one knee on each side of his hips.
- She leans back until her back rests on his shins and holds one of his legs.
- She moves with a short rocking of the hips, forwards and backwards.
Variation 2: leaning forward, hands on the mattress
She moves away from the backrest and leans forward, resting her hands on the mattress in front of her.
Tilting the torso forward changes the angle of her pelvis, so penetration feels different. Part of her weight moves onto her hands, which eases the thighs, and he can lower his legs a little to rest. He has a view of her back and buttocks.
- Start in the base position, with her leaning against his shins.
- She slowly leans forward and rests her hands on the mattress.
- He can lower his legs a little while still holding her hips.
- She sets the rhythm with short movements, without dropping down hard.
Variation 3: circling the hips
Instead of rising and lowering, she makes slow circles with her hips without leaving the backrest.
The position stays the same, but the movement changes: circles keep penetration going and shift the points of friction, with far less thigh work than rising and lowering. Since she does not lift off, there is also less risk of the penis slipping out and bending.
- Get into the base position, with her leaning against his shins.
- She lowers herself to a comfortable height and stays there.
- She draws slow circles with her hips, in one direction and then the other.
- He follows the movement holding her buttocks, without thrusting.
✓ Tips
- Get into position slowly: he raises his legs first, and then she squats and leans back until she finds the support of his shins.
- Rise and lower with control and do not let the penis slip out at the top: coming down hard at an angle can bend it painfully.
- Squatting is tiring for the knees and thighs; rest by kneeling on the mattress (variation 1) or change position when the legs start to burn.
- He can rest his feet or calves together so the backrest is stable, and lower his legs whenever his hips or lower back get tired.
- She can use her free hand to touch her clitoris.
- Use lubricant if needed and a condom for protection against STIs.
- Stop if there is pain in the knees, hips, lower back or penis.

Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for beginners?
It is not the easiest: she has to hold a squat and he has to keep his legs raised. It is better to try it once you are comfortable with the reverse cowgirl, and start with the kneeling version.
Is there a real chair?
No. The name refers to his legs: raised and bent, they form a backrest for her back. You only need a bed or a firm mattress.
What if his legs get tired?
He can hold his knees with his hands, rest his feet together, or lower his legs for a while. She then leans forward and supports herself on her hands.
Does it allow deep penetration?
Depth is usually medium. She controls it with how much she bends her knees, so she can keep it shallower if she prefers.
