If you're looking to spice things up in the bedroom, welcome to our new series: Sex Position of the Week. Every week, we'll dive into a different position, breaking down what makes it exciting, and how to make the most of it with your partner. This week’s featured position is a classic favorite —

The Rider.

What is The Rider?

Also known as Cowgirl or Woman on Top, The Rider puts the person on top in control. It's a versatile and empowering position where the receiving partner straddles the giving partner, who lies on their back. The key benefit here? The person on top controls the pace, depth, and angle of penetration, which can lead to intense pleasure for both partners.

Why You'll Love It:

  1. Control and Power: One of the best things about The Rider is the control it gives the person on top. You can adjust the pace to be slow and sensual or fast and passionate, making it easy to tune into what feels good for both of you.
  2. Deep Penetration: This position allows for deep penetration, which can intensify sensations. The person on top can rock their hips, lean forward, or arch back to find the perfect spot for stimulation.
  3. Clitoral Stimulation: Because the person on top controls the movement, they can also adjust their position to focus on clitoral stimulation, either by grinding or rubbing against their partner's body. This added element can lead to more powerful orgasms.
  4. Eye Contact & Intimacy: The Rider encourages close, face-to-face connection, making it a perfect option for those who love intimacy and want to maintain eye contact. It's great for building emotional and physical connection during sex.

Pro Tips for Mastering The Rider:

  1. Get Comfortable: The Rider requires some endurance, especially if you’re on top for a while. Make sure you're both comfortable by adjusting pillows under your partner’s back, giving them better support while you take charge.
  2. Switch It Up: Don’t feel like you need to stay in one position the whole time. Try leaning forward for deeper penetration or sitting upright to intensify clitoral stimulation. You can also reverse the position (called Reverse Cowgirl) for a different angle and experience.
  3. Communicate: As with any position, communication is key. Check in with each other about what feels good, what needs adjusting, and how fast or slow to go. This not only ensures a pleasurable experience for both but deepens your connection.
  4. Don’t Be Afraid to Take Breaks: If you’re on top and feeling fatigued, take a quick breather by leaning down and letting your partner support some of your weight. Remember, sex is about pleasure, not a workout marathon!

Variations to Try:

  • Reverse Rider: Instead of facing your partner, face away from them for a different sensation. This variation provides a new angle of penetration and can offer different stimulation for both of you.
  • The Lazy Rider: For a more relaxed version, try keeping your legs together and gently rocking your hips back and forth. This allows for slower, more sensual movements while reducing the strain on your thighs.

Final Thoughts

The Rider is a timeless position that offers control, variety, and intimacy. Whether you're looking for a slow and sensual encounter or something more adventurous, it’s a great addition to your bedroom repertoire. Experiment with different angles and movements to discover what works best for you and your partner, and most importantly, have fun with it!
