Woman on top, also called the jackhammer, cowboy or cowgirl position, is a group of sex positions in which -
- the inserting partner lies on his or her back or sits in a chair, couch, etc.
- the receiving partner straddles the inserting partner and the partners face each other.
- the partners align the vagina or anus of the receiving partner with the phallus of the inserting partner to achieve penetration.
- Both partners can see one another, and in particular the partner can view and caress the receiving partner's chest.
The cowgirl name derives from the image of the receiving partner "riding" the partner as a cowboy rides a bucking horse. It is one of a number of receptive-partner-superior sexual positions, another being the reverse cowgirl position. This position is also used as a precursor to the lateral coital position described by [[Masters and Joh
In another variation, the woman faces away from the man. She can either be in a kneeling or squatting position and can have her torso upright, or she can have it aligned with the inserting man's body. The woman has greater control over the extent and duration of the penetration.
This position can be used for vaginal or anal sex, with penetration achieved by a penis or a strap-on dildo.
It serves to stimulate the most sensitive parts of the man's penis as a result of the way it is forced to bend while at the same time rubbing on the female G-spot and clitoris simultaneously.
This position is widely depicted in male-female pornography, because it enables the viewer to have a full frontal view of the woman, with the view of the man (except for his genitals) being of secondary consideration.
Disabilities
The reverse missionary position is one of a number of positions sometimes recommended for experimentation by partners in which the inserting partner has some form of disability. Dr. Ruth Westheimer wrote to the wife of a stroke victim that:[1]
- "Another area that you could explore would be a change of positions. The side by side position is sometimes helpful in these situations, as long as you make sure that the stroke victim is positioned so that the "healthy" side is uppermost. You could also try mutual masturbation, oral genital stimulation, the female superior position or the use of a vibrator."
