You're on top, he's flat on his back, and for once you're the one setting the pace. Cowgirl puts you in charge of how deep, how fast and how hard, which is exactly why it's the position most likely to make you come.

01Why cowgirl feels so good

On top, you control everything. You pick the angle that rubs your clit against him and the depth that hits your G spot. He gets to lie back and watch your whole body move, with his hands free to grab your hips, your ass or your breasts.

It's also the position where you can't hide, and that's the point. Being looked at while you take exactly what you want is a huge turn on for both of you.

02How to get into the cowgirl position

  1. 1

    Get him on his back

    Have him lie flat with a pillow under his head so he can watch you. Make sure he's good and hard before you climb on.

  2. 2

    Straddle his hips

    Kneel over him with a knee on each side. Take him in your hand and tease yourself with the tip before you do anything else.

  3. 3

    Sink down slowly

    Lower yourself onto him a little at a time. Stop when it feels good, breathe, and let your body open up. There's no rush.

  4. 4

    Find your rhythm

    Start by rocking your hips forward and back instead of bouncing. Grinding keeps him deep and rubs your clit on every stroke.

03Three ways to ride him

  • The grind

    Stay low and rock your hips in small circles. Slow, deep and the best one for making you come.

  • The bounce

    Lean forward with your hands on his chest and lift up and down. Faster, louder and a great view for him.

  • The lean back

    Put your hands on his thighs behind you and arch your back. This tilts him right onto your G spot.

04How to make cowgirl even hotter

Once you've found your rhythm, start playing with him.

  • Hold his wrists above his head and tell him he's not allowed to touch.
  • Slide a small vibrator between you so it buzzes against your clit while you grind.
  • Lean down and tell him exactly how good he feels inside you.
  • Stop moving right before he comes, wait, then start again.

05If you feel shy on top

Almost everyone feels watched the first few times. Dim the lights, keep a shirt on if you like, or lean down so your chests are touching. From where he's lying you look incredible. Trust that.

And if you lose the rhythm, laugh, kiss him and start again. Nobody's keeping score.
