Position

The Amazon

Also known as amazon positioncrouching cowgirlsquat on top

The Amazon has the receiving partner on their back with knees drawn toward the chest while the other squats or kneels above — a playful power-reversal position.

The gist

A bold, dominant-feeling position where the partner underneath pulls their knees up and the one on top crouches over them to control the angle and pace. It takes some leg strength up top and a bit of trust below, and rewards easing in since the angle is steep.

Step by step

  1. The partner underneath lies back and draws their knees toward their chest.

  2. The other squats or kneels above, facing them, feet or knees planted.

  3. Ease in slowly and find a controlled, shallow rhythm first.

  4. The top partner uses their legs to set depth and pace.

Tips

  • The angle is steep — start very gently and communicate about depth.
  • Cushions under the lower partner's hips and back make it easier to hold.
