This is a graphic that covers the sex position of the week called "the amazon". It's when partner A with a penis or strap-on lies down and has their legs up or pulled to their chest. Partner B then squats above them, allowing penetration either anally or vaginally. Knees resting besides their partner, either bouncing up and down or squatting up and down.

How To Do The “Amazon” Sex Position: 

The “Amazon” sex position is essentially missionary in reverse. Rather than having the person with the vagina or anus lay on their back, the position has you reversed. The person with the penis or strap-on lays on their back, and depending on their level of flexibility they can either have their legs up in a 90 degree angle, or up over their head with their legs pulled to their chest. The person with the vagina or anus straddles or squats above them, allowing penetration, with their knees resting beside them as seen in the graphic above.

Once the partner on top has gotten into position, they can start riding by bouncing, bobbing up and down, rather than focusing on grinding.

“Amazon” Sex Position Pros:

  • Eye-to-eye contact.
  • Power-play (if you’re into that).
  • Nipple play!
  • Potential for mutual orgasm if the person on top is being stimulated to their preference (vaginal, clitoral, g-spot, nipple).
  • Allows for deep penetration.
  • The person on top can control the depth, speed, rhythm.

“Amazon” Sex Position Cons:

  • Maintaining the position can be difficult for both people if flexibility and stamina is an issue.
  • The person on top needs stamina.
  • The person on the bottom needs flexibility.
  • The person on top could hurt their knees if they lack the mobility.

“Amazon” Sex Position Tips:

  • The person on top can rest their hands on the person on the bottoms chest or knees for support.
  • The person on the bottom can spread their legs widely or keep them closer together depending on the variation that works best with their level of flexibility and comfort.
  • The person laying down can support their legs by gripping behind their knees or holding onto their calves.
  • The person on the bottom can lift and support the person on top – again, flexibility!
  • If the person on top leans forward, it puts less stress on the suspensory ligament that supports the penis in staying erect.
  • For anal penetration, put a pillow under the hips to elevate the body  higher for deeper penetration.

“Amazon” Sex Position Variations:

  • The person on top can have their knees on the bed, to the side of the partner, straddling them, bouncing up and down.
  • The person on top can squat above the partner, with their feet besides the partners legs.
  • The person on top can squat reversed, holding onto their partner’s shins for support as they bounce up and down.
