Reverse cowgirl

Also known as reverse ridingon top facing awayreverse position

Reverse cowgirl is a partner-on-top position where the top partner faces away from their partner — offering a different angle and a hands-free view for both.

The gist

A variation on cowgirl with the top partner facing toward the feet instead of the face. The reversed orientation changes the angle and gives a new visual for the partner underneath, while the top partner still controls pace. Balance takes a little more attention, so a hand on the thigh or the bed helps.

Step by step

  1. One partner lies on their back.

  2. The other straddles them facing away, toward their partner's feet.

  3. Settle onto hands or the bed for balance, then find a comfortable rhythm.

  4. Adjust how far forward you lean to change the angle.

Tips

  • Balance matters more here — brace a hand on your partner's thigh or the mattress.
  • Go slow at first; the changed angle can feel intense until you settle in.
