Cowboy

The Cowboy sex position is very similar to the popular Cowgirl only in this version, it is the penetrating partner who sits on top, rather than the other way around.

Origins of the Term

This position is a play on the popular Cowgirl position. It resembles riding a horse, and was typically conceived as a "woman-on-top" sex position, which is how it got its name. As more people joined in on the fun, the Cowboy position emerged. Internet search history shows that it first started being search online around 2006. Interest in this term has continued to trend upwards since. Cowgirl has shown steady online interest since at least 2004.

How to Enjoy the Cowboy

Because the partner on the bottom must keep their legs closed, penetration can be more difficult. This, however, creates more pressure and friction, which can feel great.
