The “Amazon” position in sex is essentially a variation of the cowgirl position, but with both partners **kneeling**.
Here’s a breakdown:
* **Both partners are on their knees:** Unlike traditional cowgirl where the bottom partner is lying down, in the Amazon position, both partners are kneeling, facing each other.
* **One partner is on top:** Similar to cowgirl, one partner is kneeling on top, controlling the depth and pace.
* **The other partner is kneeling below:** The other partner is also kneeling, either with their legs together or slightly apart for stability and comfort.
* **Intensity:** This position allows for a deeper connection and greater control for the partner on top.
* **Hands:** Both partners can use their hands for support, to caress each other, or to further stimulate.
**Advantages:**
* **Deeper penetration:** The kneeling position can facilitate a deeper angle of penetration for some people.
* **Intimacy:** The face-to-face aspect allows for kissing and close connection.
* **Control:** The top partner has a high degree of control over the pace and intensity.
* **Core Engagement:** Both partners need to engage core muscles to stay stable.
**Considerations:**
* **Knee comfort:** Kneeling for an extended period can be uncomfortable. Consider using cushions or a soft surface.
* **Balance:** It may take some coordination to find a comfortable and stable balance.
* **Modifications:** The Amazon position can be modified by having the bottom partner lean back slightly for a different angle, or by using pillows for added support.
In short, the Amazon is a kneeling variation of cowgirl, offering a different angle, deeper penetration, and increased intimacy.
