Many of the sex positions from that book remain popular today, and the anal reverse cowgirl position is no exception. Everyone knows about the traditional cowgirl position, but what about this take on it?
If you've never tried this position before, you're missing out. It can be especially stimulating not only for you but your partner as well. But if you've never tried it before, where should you start?
As with any position you've never tried before, you will need a bit of practice and trial and error before you master it. By reading this guide for unique sex positions, you can get a head start with some important tips to master this position. Keep reading and learn more about what the anal reverse cowgirl position is and how you and your partner can get started.Â
What Is the Anal Reverse Cowgirl Position Exactly?
When it comes to anal sex, it can be difficult to enjoy if you're not prepared. A common problem with this kind of sex is that the man may thrust too deeply or at an uncomfortable speed. Fortunately, the reverse cowgirl position is one of the best sex positions for anal when it comes to the vagina or top’s pleasure.Â
Much like the traditional cowgirl position, the receiver is on top. Unlike the regular cowgirl position, the top does not face the bottom, but instead turns directly away from them. Even so, being on top gives you plenty of control over what the bottom partner does.Â
This gives the top more of an opportunity to enjoy anal sex in this fashion. Once the top gets into this position, they will see that they will be able to control how deeply the bottom thrusts. They will also be able to control the pace so that they can slow down or speed up as they please.Â
The Details
Keep in mind that the anal reverse cowgirl position isn't necessarily the easiest of positions. It is more of an intermediate position so it isn't too difficult but it isn't all that easy either. For that reason, you might not want to go straight to this position if you are still experimenting with your sexual partner.Â
Once you warm up a bit and figure things out, then you will be free to try this position. The reason why it can be challenging is that it is physically demanding and it can be especially difficult for those who are still new to anal sex. However, you will find that with a bit of relaxation and playfulness, this position can easily become one of your favorite sex position.Â
How to Do the Anal Reverse Cowgirl Position
When trying this position for the first time, the top will want to make sure that they are as relaxed as possible. This is an important consideration for any kind of sex, but it is especially true for anal sex. If they are not relaxed, anal sex can be painful, even if there is plenty of lube on hand.Â
The best way for the top to relax is through teasing and foreplay. They may also try experimenting with other sex positions before moving onto this reverse cowgirl position. That way, they (and their partner) will be completely in the mood and ready for anything.Â
Don’t Forget the Lube
Once the top is relaxed, the bottom will need to lay on their back preferably on the bed or another surface. Whatever you do, don't forget to use lube. Anal sex without lube is rarely an enjoyable experience and it can be especially unpleasant. Using a plush lube, like Tush Cush, is perfect for making anal sex comfortable and enjoyable. Tush Cush even prevents any possible microtears that might occur when in the act – who doesn’t love that?!

Once the lube has been generously lathered on the person penetrating, the top will be free to climb on top of them. As mentioned before, the top will face away from the bottom rather than towards them as with the traditional cowgirl position. The top can crouch over or straddle them, depending on their preferences and flexibility.Â
Then, the top will have the opportunity to lower themself on top of the bottom as much or as little as they want. This position allows the top to be in power, and the bottom won't be able to do much except hold their partner. The top will need to make good use of their leg muscles to lower or raise themselves over the bottom.Â
At that point, they will be able to control how deep they want the bottom to go and how fast (or slow).Â
The Pros and Cons of the Anal Reverse Cowgirl Position
One of the pros of this position is that the top has all the power and they can make sure that the position is comfortable for them. For [eople who are afraid of anal sex or who have had bad experiences with anal sex in the past, this is a good way to experience this kind of sex in the right fashion. By controlling the depth and speed of their partner's penetration, the top will be able to avoid any discomfort or pain associated with anal sex.Â
Another pro is that this sex position is ideal for those who love sex toys. When it comes to how to choose sex toys for this position, the possibilities are endless. For example, this position is a perfect position for those looking to try double penetration. Because the bottom’s movement is limited in this position, adding a toy like Buzzy Butt, can give them some control. While penetrating the vagina, Buzzy Butt, a vibrating butt plug, can stimulate the top being double penetrated. Give the bottom the wireless remote to control the vibrations while the top rides, or vice versa to stimulate all the bottom’s intimate areas at once.
The top can lower themselves on top of the bottom as explained above and they can use a dildo, like Pretty Big Dil, or Little Sucker, a compact suction toy, to pleasure other areas of the body. The best sex toys are those that don't react badly with the type of lube you use.

The Cons
Remember that if you're using silicone-based lube, you can't use silicone sex toys.Â
That's because the silicone toy will have a bad reaction to the lube. The lube might even end up damaging the toy as a result. That, of course, is the last thing you want to deal with when you're trying to enjoy the evening. Your best bet is to use Toy Wonder, a water-based lubricant that is safe on all toy types.

There are some cons to this sex position. One of them is that it is physically exhausting. The top’s legs can easily become tired within a few minutes.Â
This can make it difficult to enjoy this position for an extended period. If your legs become too tired, you might have to switch positions.Â
Important Tips for This Position
As with any anal sex position, lube is always essential. The more lube, the better. If you don't have enough of it, the experience can be unpleasant for both parties involved.Â
Besides lube, taking it slow is very important. Whether or not you're familiar with anal sex, this kind of sex is not something you should rush into. Otherwise, even if you have plenty of lube on hand, it still won't be very enjoyable.
The Details
Allow your top time to adjust, relax, and enjoy the anal sex. By taking it slow, the top will be able to see what they like and don't like. They will also be able to find their limits and know when they and their partner should stop.Â
If anyone experiences any pain during this position, they should stop and take a break. That way, both parties will have the opportunity to get relaxed and be able to reapply as much lube as they want.Â
Finally, remember that you can alter this position in any way you want. For example, the top might find that they can change the pace better if they squats over the bottom rather than straddling. Or the bottom might find that they can support the top by their hips so their leg muscles won't get as tired.Â
Whatever the case, this sex position can be very enjoyable as long as you do it right.
