6. Get squatting!
And we don’t just mean working out! When it comes to how to be on top, it’s not about kneeling. Squatting with your feet flat and lowering yourself onto your partner allows for deeper penetration and more movement.
Similarly, you can bend your knees up and have your feet flat down next to their chest - like you’re sat on a very low chair.
7. Gently grind in a wave-like motion
When straddling your partner, lean forward 45 degrees, put your arms on their chest for support, and grind your hips forward like a wave - or like you’re doing a sensual snake dance.
Rubbing your clit back and forwards against their stomach will stimulate you in all the right ways, and the movement will make you look seriously sexy.
8. Keep up the eye contact
Eye contact always creates intensity because it heightens the mental and emotional connection between you and your partner. This makes the physical stuff feel even more pleasurable.
9. Touch yourself all over
When you’re on top, you look amazing. That’s a fact. You know it. Your partner knows it. But if you want to look more amazing, touch yourself! Grab your nipples, rub your thighs, stroke your clit a little.
Watching you enjoying yourself will be mindblowing for your lover.
10. Tuck your legs under your partner’s body
This will give you stability and help you do some serious thrusting! Also, try squeezing your thighs together as your tuck your legs. This will make you seem tighter, making penetration more intense for you both.
11. Lean back onto their legs
Your body can be all the way on their legs or just resting on your elbows. Your lover will have a view of your entire body and be easily able to touch you. While you’re here, slowly grind closer and further away from your partner and enjoy the new angles.
12. How to ride a guy and make it dirty: Reverse cowgirl
When you’re ready, turn around. Reverse cowgirl gives your lover a treat by letting them gaze at your butt, and you can go for it in a more animalistic way.
13. One leg up, one leg down
How to do cowgirl like a professional? Whether you’re facing them or in reverse, try keeping one leg bent up with its foot flat on the floor or bed. You’ll feel more stable and able to move around more. It’s also more comfortable on the legs.
If you’re in reverse, get them to bend one of their knees and lift one of your legs and kneel it between theirs. From there you can grip and straddle their legs.
Practice and use all these tips, and not only will you know how to ride a guy, but you’ll also know how to be the best sex your lover’s ever had. Whatever your gender or sexuality, being on top should be empowering and satisfying.
