Position of the Week: Liberated Lover
by Emma
on 9 Aug 2024
Want to be on top? The Liberated Lover is a variation of the classic Cowgirl sex position. Incredibly easy-to-perform, this penetration position puts the seated partner in total control of their pleasure - and will soon have you both riding your way to a sweet, sweet orgasm.
How?
One partner lies on their back with their knees slightly raised. The other partner straddles them, placing their legs on either side of their lover’s waist. Once in position, the straddling partner can lean back on their lover’s knees, using their hands to support themselves.
Why?
Just like the Cowgirl, it's easier for the person being penetrated to take control, giving them the rare chance to adjust the depth and pace as they please.
But the Liberated Lover offers a cheeky twist. When you're on top, leaning back on your partner's knees helps deliver those incredible sensations straight to your G-spot. Plus, the penetrating partner can use their hands to help move their lover's bum up and down if they start to feel fatigued.
Try
If the partner on top feels a little shy, you can try dimming the lights or adding a blindfold. Even better, help them feel sexy and confident with a crotchless teddy that accentuates their assets.
Make it even easier
If your knees or back can’t take the pressure, either partner can rest on a folded blanket or pillow. The penetrating partner might also appreciate a pillow or sex position wedge to support their neck while they admire the view. Like any penetrating position, it’s more fun for everyone when you’ve got plenty of lube to keep things slick and smooth.
Make it even better
While you’re going for gold on the G-spot, either partner can bring a wand vibrator into play to focus the clitoris. With its soft silicone head and flexible neck, a wand vibrator is perfect for stimulating external sweet spots.
