Best Riding Positions for Women’s Pleasure are not just about physical technique—they’re a reflection of confidence, connection, and curiosity. Let me tell you something from the heart: I know how intimidating it can be to take the lead during intimacy. I’ve been there. Many of the women I work with feel the same way at first. But once we understand what our bodies love, pleasure becomes empowering.

Top 5 Best Riding Positions for Women’s Pleasure (With Examples)

Here are five riding positions I often recommend to my clients—tested, trusted, and totally customizable:

1. Standard Cowgirl (Face-to-Face)

Sit upright on your partner, knees or feet planted on the bed.
Why it works: Intimate, allows kissing and eye contact. Great balance of control and connection.
Pleasure focus: Clitoral + emotional intimacy

2. Reverse Cowgirl (Back to Him)

Sit facing his feet. Use your hands to balance on his legs or knees.
Why it works: More G-spot stimulation, and you control the depth of penetration.
Pleasure focus: Visual variety for him, deep G-spot access for you.


3. Frog Style (Deep Squat, Knees Wide)

Squat over him with your knees bent and feet on the bed.
Why it works: You set the pace. It allows deep thrusts and better grinding.
Pleasure focus: Intense clitoral + vaginal stimulation.


4. Grinding Cowgirl (Slow & Steady)

Stay low and gently grind your pelvis in circles.
Why it works: Reduces fatigue. It’s a slow, sensual build-up with lots of external stimulation.
Pleasure focus: Clitoral, perfect for long sessions.


5. Modified Cowgirl (Lean Forward)

Lean your chest forward onto your partner while riding.
Why it works: Easier on knees, shifts angle for deeper sensation.
Pleasure focus: G-spot + comfort.
