If your woman likes to be in control or you just want her to be at times, woman-on-top is a great sex position to try. The position gives women far more control in movement and thrusting.

A variety of different positions can come under this umbrella term, though the most common ones involve the woman lying flat on top and that’s why it’s also known as the reverse missionary position. However, even positions where the women are sitting on top of her partner can count. A famous variation called the reverse cowgirl is the one when the woman faces away from the man.

Pros: The position is perfect for couples where the male partner is significantly heavier. The position also imitates the way most guys masturbate with their back on the bed and this makes it a familiar posture. The major upshot is it gives women unprecedented control and allows them to control the thrusting. It’s great during pregnancy as it doesn’t put any pressure on the belly. Here are other sex positions for overweight men.

Cons: There have been some concerns that over enthusiasm in this position can lead to some serious injuries like penile fractures. Also there’s no place for clitoral stimulation and another major con is that since the penis is pointed up the force of gravity works against it, causing the blood to flow away from the tip which might make it harder to maintain an erection for a longer duration.
