Cowgirl vs. Reverse Cowgirl

[adamgunn 1,460]

This is a question for the ladies.

 

I’m curious about your orientation in cowgirl. Does the sensation of the man’s penis inside you feel different when you’re in ‘normal’ (facing him) vs ‘reverse’ (facing away from him)? Also, are the emotions you feel different in anyway?

[kittyswinger 260]

I'm more comfortable in a normal cowgirl orientation. It is a position of least resistance especially if the man's tool is too big for me (I'm petite). I can control the depth and movement to make it less painful at the start. It is usually the man who requests a reverse cowgirl pose to get a closer look of my bum in action or to see me stretched while entering and leaving me. Sometimes, I find it painful and uncomfortable. I suspect it depends on the shape of the penis. A curved or "banana shaped" tool doesnt work for me in reverse cowgirl.

 

For me, there is definitely an emotional difference between the two. It is in the way the man looks at me. If it is affectionate, I prefer facing him. If he looks "too hungry", I feel shy and would rather do a reverse.

Everything kittyswinger said above is right on with Mrs. E. It took a long time for her to get used to the hip movement of doing reverse cowgirl, especially since I'm a little bit "banana shaped" myself. It's completely different, but works better for us if I sit in a chair.

 

With swinging, she found the lack of eye contact and her still being in control makes it a much easier way to have intercourse with partners she's shy about.

I never thought about how the banana shape (as in my case) would effect the position comfort for women. Thank you for the tip!

I prefer the reverse cowgirl position. I like the way my partner’s penis feels in this position and I also like to get oral at the same time - this position allows for that to happen.

Cowgirl and missionary are my 2 favorite positions.

 

He like reverse cowgirl from time to time but the angle is tougher for me to drive...

[Jane1902 476]

Cowgirl is my favorite position in general and I enjoy the eye contact. I do notice at times my partners seem to get even more excited when I turn around for reverse cowgirl. Does it feel different for the man? I am trying to figure out the being shy about a partner comment - can you clarify that? For some reason the use of the word shy makes me think of being uncomfortable in some way.

.. It is usually the man who requests a reverse cowgirl pose to get a closer look of my bum in action or to see me stretched while entering and leaving me. ..

I like bums and a woman's bum hole, and watching my dick move in and out of a vagina, but much prefer looking at, playing with, sucking on a woman's breasts while we're fucking. Regular cowgirl is perfect for that since I don't have to hold myself up.

At least in our case, casual intercourse has always been a hurdle for her. There have been times where we've managed to connect with someone for her to play with and she is having fun and wants to fuck, but is not really ready for positions that involve a lot of skin-on-skin embrace and eye contact. Aside from her legs getting tired, reverse cowgirl turned out to be something she can do easily where she's in control of the pace but can feel a little more anonymous and just focus on what she's trying to do.

 

I think we both prefer regular cowgirl, but where it's a choice for her between the slightly less comfortable position and not getting up the nerve to do it all, it's been a good one.

[adamgunn 1,460]

Jane, you asked if it feels different for the man. Well, of course on the rest of the body, it's entirely different. But on the penis, no, not so much.

 

Where it's really different for me is of course I get a totally different view of my lover - that is sexy in itself. But it's a rather 'impersonal' position, if it's just the two of you. You just know your partner is doing nothing but enjoying herself, not paying any attention to you, and that's very sexy in itself.

 

And if I'm the other male in an MFM and the woman is doing reverse cowgirl, I get the idea that she's performing for her SO. That's so hot, that he is getting off on her getting screwed and able to see every inch of his wife's front as she satisfies herself with my cock. I've watched my wife this way many times, I love it when her breasts are bouncing around and she gives me that smile . . .

[Bluespruce1 706]

My husband says it does feel different - When I am in reverse he likes it when I really work just the head of his cock with my pussy rather than sliding all the way down. It definitely drives him wild.

[TheBiggerMan 83]

It's definitely a different feel on my cock.

[Shore2Please 612]

The primary way to have an orgasm is me on top facing my husband. We can kiss, he plays with my breasts and I can control where I need pressure. Yes we do other positions the least of which is missionary. We do reverse at times.

In swapping I have do more reverse. My primary swap partner after many other positions will lead me to reverse. He will lean me back, reaching around to my clitoris and he does feel different in me. He will also play with my rear and will finger my rear. As the Doors song goes, he’s a back door man. I think he enjoys that view too.

I guess each one is different. Probably depends on the size or shape, or angle of the vaginal canal.

[T&Mtill70 147]

Wife says she likes how deep I go during reverse cowgirl. I enjoy her playing with herself and my balls while in that position. Doesn’t take her long to have an orgasm!!

When I'm on top, I almost always go cowgirl. It's just better for me, and since I'm on top I do it the way I like.

 

The "cowgirl or reverse cowgirl?" is more of a question for me whenever we're discussing having a DP. Cowgirl is an easier position. Sometimes I'll start off with me doing cowgirl, the second man will lube up his dick and my bum, and we'll go at it for a while, but then switch and I'll do a reverse cowgirl anal (same guy, no pussy/bum switching) so the other man going into my vagina can move himself more. The reason is when I'm doing regular cowgirl the man in my bum usually comes pretty quickly, while the guy in my pussy, who isn't able to move as much, and I don't orgasm and have to finish separately. With reverse cowgirl anal, the man in my pussy can work our genitals so we both orgasm, while the guy in my bum with constrained movement is slowed down and matches the orgasm timing more closely.

 

It's taken us some time to work this out. Most of the time we have sex, however, it's either just MF or FFM.

I’m with Shore. Me on top with my husband cowgirl. Missionary meh. With our friend he enjoys reverse and talks about what he sees. Thinking about it we almost always go from 69 to me creeping up to reverse.

At parties if I am with 2 guys reverse and a guy in front of me. If with a couple many times cowgirl with the other girl face sitting. Then again at parties there is plenty of doggie.

[couplers 4,656]

... Missionary meh...

I believe that this is the first and only time that I disagree with you. I am so excited as I get naked; lie on my back; spread my legs, pull my knees up in anticipation; put a finger in to pull the juices up front; see him becoming erect to get us both going...

[Bluespruce1 706]

That drives my husband wild as well although he doesn’t go as deep in reverse. When I gave him I can really feel him much deeper. I have some partners with smaller cocks that I can’t go reverse on because they slip out so I face them and grind away.

How dare you disagree lol. I read your answer last night and thought about all night. I still think I rather be on top and most likely goes back to when I was first having sex. I think that first boyfriend wasn’t that good at missionary and I found me being on top felt better. I think that is the reason but I’m not sure. I am trying to remember the beginning of my sex life, was I the one who initiated the me on top? I am thinking the guys enjoy when I go on top but do I do it to just please? I can say I enjoy being on my back and being pleased. Even orally I can start on my back and then usually roll over on top. I’m sure Freud would find that interesting.

Now years after my first sex experiences and many more partners in the last few years than I had before my first 3some I find I enjoy me on top most, even with girlfriends.

[couplers 4,656]

... I found me being on top felt better. ..

I agree that being on top with more control can feel really good, but...

 

... I can say I enjoy being on my back and being pleased. ...

Being on my back, making the man do the work, makes me feel feminine - sometimes it's love, sometimes it's slutty sex, but it's womanly.

 

... I am thinking the guys enjoy when I go on top but do I do it to just please? ...

My conclusion is that guys are happy and enjoy it so long as they can put their dick in you, any opening, any position.

My wife loves cowgirl but will always switch to reverse to finish me off. For me, the feeling is different and the angle she can work with causes different sensations. And she knows if I’ve been going a while reverse cowgirl usually ends in orgasms for both of us. She’s multi orgasmic and will have several in cowgirl but the big one usually comes from her in reverse cowgirl.

[Lee714 82]

Is the face sitting girl facing you or away?

[Guest]

Typically, on a cowgirl, the woman is actually on her knees. I do it in more of a jockey position, my feet flat on the mattress. It’s a great deal more work on the thighs to do it this way but the I go down further, not restricted by my calves and heels under my thighs, so on the down thrust the guy goes inside me much deeper. The angle is better, the lady is more upright, so there is no problem with him bumping up against my cervix. But, because of that more upright angle, it doesn’t work well on the reverse position, I have to do the more common reverse cowgirl.
