Warning, it is not for the weak-hearted. So, summon all the strength you need before attempting this position. Yes, ‘attempt’ because most people do not always get it on their first try. The Amazon sex position is one of those acrobatic acts that just perk your interest to give it a try.
Why this sex position is called ‘Amazon’ is still a bit unclear. Still, according to ancient Greek mythology, Amazons were a race of female warriors particularly notable for their horse riding, bravery, and defence skills. Speculations suggest that this sex position gives the woman or the receiving gender control just like the Amazonian warriors. Maybe the horse-riding part makes sense now as this sex position involves some sort of cowgirl action.
How It Is Done
The Amazon sex position is a combination of cowgirl and missionary. It involves two people; the penetrating partner and the one being penetrated (receiver). The penetrating partner lies on their back with the knees up to their chest. The receiving partner then lowers their body unto the penis bearer or the dildo-wearer and maintains a straddling position, giving the partner on top more dominance.
Variants Of The Amazon Position
There are a few variants to the standard Amazon position; the kneeling Amazon and the reverse Amazon sex positions. In the reverse Amazon, the penetrating partner lies with their back, face-up, and knees to their chest while the receiving partner has their back to the other partner. In such a way that their face is away from the lower person. The kneeling Amazon is likened to the standard Amazon position, and the only difference is that if you are on top, you put your knee down instead of your feet, sort of like a normal kneeling position. This helps to relieve pressure on the lower person’s legs.
The Amazon position is more of length than size; a longer penis or dildo will pass through the penetrating partner’s thighs conveniently; this position may, however, inflict pain and injury on a shorter penis. If you are using a strap-on, or a dildo, ensure that it is the long type so that the sex can be pleasurable for both of you.
Perks Of The Position
One perk of this position is that the receiver gets control, so if you usually feel pain during deep penetration, you get to determine how deep you want your partner’s penis to go. Another benefit is that it is enjoyed by both partners. If you are someone who enjoys the dominance-submission play, it will be enjoyable for you. With this position, you get to play with the clitoris either using a sex toy or your hand, adding spice to the penetration.
However, for people who feel joints or muscle pains during sex, you are advised not to try this sex position. This is because this position is acrobatic, and it demands flexibility, patience, and strength. The Amazon sex position is a beautifully crafted style of sex, and it is only enjoyable if both partners communicate how comfortable they feel while doing it. If this position sounds like something that you and your partner might enjoy go ahead and give it a shot, you may just experience something new, pleasurable and totally exciting.
