Reverse Partner on Top

One partner lies on their back while the other kneels astride them facing their feet. The partner on top controls the rhythm and can lean forward or back to find what feels best.

How it feels

A change of view and of sensation. It feels more playful than intimate, and the partner on top has plenty of freedom to move.

Comfort tips

• The partner on top can rest their hands on the other's thighs or knees for balance.
• A pillow under the lying partner's head lets them relax and watch.
• Move slowly at first; the angle is different from face-to-face positions.

Talk about it

You can't see each other's faces, so agree on simple words for 'slower', 'more' and 'pause' before you start.

Take care

• The partner on top should avoid leaning back sharply or dropping their weight suddenly.
• Kneeling can tire the knees; a soft mattress helps.
