Forward Cowgirl Position: Pros, Cons and Why Women Love It So Much
Intimate, interactive and fun, it’s no surprise so many women love forward cowgirl.
Forward cowgirl, or “woman on top,” is a wonderfully interactive sex position. Although in forward cowgirl Lauren is doing the riding, I’m also moving my hips up and down, allowing us to fuck each other.
Forward cowgirl is also very intimate. It allows eye contact, hand-holding, breast-play, kissing, conversation and holding.
Unlike missionary and doggy-style positions, Lauren and I tend not to have forward-cowgirl sex with others because of its intimacy. Piper from time to time does get on top of me for a ride (like Lauren, she’s a doggy-style girl), but we allow that because we love Piper. With other women, we’ve made exceptions.
For us, forward cowgirl tends to be a position either for foreplay or threesome sex (more on that below). Lauren enjoys hopping on for a ride and relishing all of the frontal attention forward cowgirl allows, but ultimately she wants to get pounded from behind.
Breast Play
Forward cowgirl allows ready manual or oral access to the breasts, affording great fun and pleasure to both sex partners. All she has to do is lean forward enough for him to be able to lick and suck on her nipples. Or, he can just fondle her tits as she rides him.
If Lauren is riding me hard, I love watching her breasts bounce up and down, but that can be painful for her after a while so I usually hold her tits in my hands…or she might hold them herself.
Whatever the case, breast play is one of the nice advantages of forward cowgirl.
Feet or Knees
Most women, most of the time, tend to be on their knees as they ride the guy. A woman who’s into it isn’t just going up and down; she’s moving her hips all around…front and back, side to side and in a circular motion. How a woman moves her hips in forward cowgirl is the secret sauce of the position.
Sometimes, it’s fun for the woman to get on her knees and balance themselves as they ride. This variation can be hard on her knees and she’ll need to balance herself, typically by putting her hands on the guy’s chest as she bounces up and down. This is a variation that typically is fun for only a minute or two.
Masturbation for Her
Forward cowgirl allows easy access to her pussy, meaning she can masturbate — and orgasm — while she rides him. Or, better yet, he can stroke her clitoris. In forward cowgirl, if he’s masturbating her while she rides him, I’ve found that the thumb is the easier of the fingers to use. Even spicier: run a wand vibrator on her clit!
Leaning Back for G-Spot Stimulation
We’ve never had a ton of luck with it but it’s said that in forward cowgirl, if she leans back and balances herself with her hands planted between his legs, his cock will hit her G-Spot and she’ll orgasm.
Over the years, Lauren has leaned back in forward cowgirl hundreds of times and, yes, the tip of my cock does hit her G-Spot BUT this variation pulls my cock against where it wants to go when erect, which can be uncomfortable for me and which also leads to my cock easily slipping out of her if she takes me too shallow. This is a variation to try and experiment with; we’ve had some fun with it but overall have never gotten it totally dialed in.
Threesomes
Forward cowgirl is an excellent position for threesome sex:
- Mmf: All she has to do is lean forward enough for the second guy — typically me — to penetrate her ass while she’s riding the first guy. The key is for everyone to be in a rhythm with the thrusting; otherwise, it’s awkward.
- Ffm: While Lauren rides me, Piper may fuck her in her ass with our strap-on dildo (or vice versa), or perhaps rim Lauren. Better yet, Piper may straddle my face for me to eat her pussy while Lauren rides me (or vice versa). Lots of fun options in ffm.
Forward Cowgirl Pros
- Gives her lots of control!
- Very intimate. Allows for eye contact, intimacy, hand-holding, conversation, kissing, etc.
- Fun nipple kissing and sucking and delightful breast fondling.
- She can easily masturbate and bring herself to orgasm while she’s riding.
- Fun variations for her — leaning forward, leaning back (which affords amazing frontal visuals), feet planted on the bed (if she has good knees), etc.
- If there’s a second woman involved, allows me to eat her pussy while Lauren rides me.
- Allows DP with two guys.
Cons
- If pullout at ejaculation is required, can be complicated in this position as the guy will likely have to cum on himself unless she’s willing to take care of that for him.
- Not all women want to be in control.
