The name derives from the image of the receptive partner "riding" the insertive partner like a cowboy or cowgirl rides a bucking horse.

This position is also used as a precursor to the lateral coital position favored by Masters and Johnson.

Features

Penetration is quite deep, and the receptive partner can control the orgasm depth and intensity of penetration. This makes them want to keep on going long past their orgasm because it is so erotic. Genital stimulation may not be very intense for some receptive partners, but can be provided by hand, or by the insertive partner periodically semi-withdrawing and manipulating the phallus against the receptive partner's genitals, or by other means. The term penetration can mean several things: In business, penetration is often short for market penetration, the degree to which a product or service is known and/or used among potential customers. ...


Proponents of the receptive partner on top position say there are these advantages:

  • Both partners can see one another, and in particular the insertive partner can view and caress the receptive partner's chest while they are in a more natural position.
  • A male insertive partner may be able to delay orgasm longer in this position.
  • The position is far less tiring for the insertive partner as they do not have to support their weight while also being physically active.
  • The receptive partner may take a relatively static position, so that they do not tire (by supporting their upper body with their extended arms with their torso almost horizontal), while the insertive partner, not having to support their weight, can be quite active without fatigue. This variation eases the strain of motion upon the receptive partner's knees, which may be an advantage for some receptive partners.
  • The receptive partner can control the depth, intensity, and angle of penetration, and enjoy the dominant feeling of being in control.
  • The insertive partner can enjoy receiving pleasure while relaxing.
  • The receptive partner can easily stimulate their genitals with their hand (if in the upright version).
  • The insertive partner can stimulate the receptive partner's genitals with their hand, though some find the thumb to be more comfortable.
  • If sitting upright, the receptive partner can reach behind them to stimulate the insertive partner's groin area.
  • The insertive partner can caress the receptive partner's buttocks and stimulate the anus.
  • In a variant position in which the receptive partner is on top and leaning over the insertive partner, the partners can embrace and kiss while the isnertive partner is penetrating the receptive partner. They can also caress their chest in the position.
  • Unlike in the missionary position, in this position the receptive partner has the active role while the insertive partner has the passive role.

Dominance and submission

As well as being enjoyable for its own vanilla sexual pleasure, this position is a good position for play with sexual dominance: some receptive partners like to take control of the insertive partner by holding his arms down, and some insertive partners like to take control of the receptive partner by taking hold of their arms behind their back. Those of a switchy disposition can move from one to the other and back again. Some consider this to be a position which is particularly suited to receptive partner dominance.
