Woman On Top (sex Position)
Woman on top, also called the, cowboy, cowgirl or riding position, is a group of sex positions in which:
- the man lies on his back or sits in a chair, couch, etc.
- the woman 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.
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. It is fairly simple to achieve and maintain and pleasures both partners. This position is also used as a precursor to the lateral coital position described by Masters and Johnson.
This position is commonly cited as one of the more popular sex positions. It gives the receiving partner more control and also allows the inserting partner to view and caress the receiving partner's chest and abdominal region.

Famous quotes containing the words woman and/or top:
“O why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
Missing so much and so much?
O fat white woman whom nobody loves,
Why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
When the grass is soft as the breast of doves
And shivering sweet to the touch?”
—Frances Cornford (1886–1960)
“Each has his own tree of ancestors, but at the top of all sits Probably Arboreal.”
