One partner lies back while the other kneels astride them and sets the pace. The partner on top controls speed, depth and angle, which makes it a favourite for confidence and comfort.
How to do it
One partner lies flat with legs straight or knees slightly bent.
The other kneels astride their hips, facing them, knees on the mattress.
The partner on top leads the movement by rocking, circling, rising or lowering.
Tips
Leaning forward onto your hands gives more support, while sitting upright gives a different angle.
The partner beneath can rest their hands on the hips above, following rather than leading.
One partner kneels on the bed, sitting back on their heels, while the other lowers onto their lap facing away. Snug and close, with hands free to wander.
The receiving partner lies face down with legs together while the other kneels astride their thighs. Snug and controlled, with an angle many people enjoy.
One partner sits on a sturdy chair while the other sits on their lap, facing away. Playful and teasing, it borrows its mood from the dance it is named after.
One partner kneels on one knee while the other sits on the raised thigh, wrapped around them. Romantic, close and named after the classic proposal pose.
A sideways twist on the on-top position: one partner lies back while the other sits astride with both legs to one side. A new angle with plenty of control.
