What Is an Amazon Sex Position?
Today we’re going to tell you about the Amazon sex position that is definitely not your usual quickie-before-bed sex routine but is not overcomplicated either, so you’ll be able to easily add it to your sex routine if you’d like.
What Does an Amazon Sex Position Look Like?
Try asking your friends or your date about the Amazon sex position. Most likely, none of them will know what it is or won’t be able to explain what it looks like.
The Amazon sex position is rather niche, although it’s not the most super crazy and elaborate position that you may find in Kamasutra.
So what does it look like?
Picture this.
A man is lying on his back.
His legs are up in the air and bent at about a 40 degrees angle and knees are facing towards the stomach.
The woman squats or kneels on top of the man.
She’s sitting right on his penis facing the man.
The man is (optionally) supporting her with his hands to help her relax and move her body rhythmically.
Isn’t that a pretty picture?
If the OG Amazon sex position doesn’t cut it for you, you can try the alternative versions, such as reverse Amazon where she’s facing backward with her back to the man’s face.
What Do Partners Do When Practicing Amazon Sex Position?
The main goal for the woman is to sit on the man and let him penetrate her carefully. Once she’s secured on the penis, the only thing left to worry about is being comfortable and getting that orgasm!
The position is low-key demanding for the woman as she needs to stay on her feet or knees and float with a rhythm. To help herself out, she can lean on the man’s thighs for stability and to take the pressure off her legs.
As a man, there’s not much they need to be doing while in the Amazon sex position. It’s a great option to switch things up if the man is usually doing most of the movement in sex, so he can also sit back and relax and experience the more chill sex routine.
Still, they can help their woman out by holding her legs and helping her balance, and by stimulating her clit to add extra pleasure and help her orgasm stronger. It’s also possible for the man to slightly lead the woman with his thighs and help her set the rhythm.
How to Prepare for Amazon Sex Position: Key Tips
Here is how to properly get ready for an Amazon sex position and enjoy it to the fullest.
First of all, the basics:
- Take a shower and wash your hands
- Set the mood with lighting, music, extra decor
- Think of protection measures to enjoy sex safely
- Stock up on lube
- Get some pillows for the woman’s knees and the man’s head
As you’re about to launch the Amazon experiment, spend some time foreplaying to get into the mood. Kiss, touch, and finger each other, stimulate different erogenous zones and do a bit of oral sex if you’d like.
This position can be somewhat tricky, so it helps if you both are super aroused, so the man’s erection is sharp and strong, and the woman’s vagina is well-lubricated. If you don’t think there’s enough natural lube, use a generous amount of store-bought one to ensure the initial penetration goes smoothly and doesn’t hurt either of the partners.
Also, as the woman will be squatting on the penis, it should be done slowly and carefully as it’s rather easy to hurt it from this position. Don’t let it scare you and put you off the sex position, but do be extra cautious. You’re not trying to catch a train anyway, so there’s no reason to rush.
Tip: Amazon, or any other sex position requires a bit of physical strength to enjoy it without getting tired quickly. It’s a good idea to hit the gym or do some exercises at home to strengthen the core and other muscles. It will help both partners hold the position and move with more ease, and they’ll enjoy the sex more instead of thinking how their random body parts are going numb or that they’re tired and want to switch things up.
If you don’t feel like doing a hardcore exercise routine, you can do stretching instead. Flexibility is just as important, and it’s a super low-impact way of staying toned up and energized. Start by doing quick stretches in the morning and 5-minute ones if you’ve been stuck in one position for too long during the day, for instance, working at your desk.
Last but not least, talk to each other. New positions, even the basic ones, can be confusing, uncomfortable, and awkward. Check-in with each other to see if you guys both enjoy what’s going on and if something needs to be adjusted.
Alternatively, talk dirty to each other. Why not? Sex is meant to be fun, hot, and daring, so why not add some explicit language and suggestions to your little chat as you continue riding each other.
Why Everyone Should Try Amazon Sex Position
If you’ve read the article up until this point and are still on the fence about the Amazon sex position, well, the choice is ultimately yours. Nobody can push you to do things you don’t want to, but there are a number of reasons why you might reconsider and give it a try.
- Sexual exploration is good for the relationship. Trying new things in the bedroom is always a good idea for lovers. Intimacy is a crucial part of romance, and if you keep doing the same tricks again and again, the passion will eventually fade and the spark will disappear. If you care for the person you’re with, being slightly more adventurous and experimental will have a positive effect on your love dynamic.
- It’s a confidence exercise. Not only does trying new positions make the sex and, therefore, the relationship better, but it’s also good for your own self-esteem and confidence. You get to explore your body and pleasure from a new angle, and it gives you a better understanding of what you like and prefer. This inevitably influences how confident you are in your own skin and makes you a happier human being overall.
- It’s slightly leaning towards power play with a woman dominating and being in control. If you like tipping into domination, submission, and exploring power dynamics in the bedroom overall, Amazon sex position is a super chill way to do it if you’re not feeling like putting on a whole show but still want to try something new out.
- New kind of penetration. The angle that the Amazon sex position creates allows for rather deep and intense penetration that will give both partners a good reason to moan and scream.
Overall, this sex position is fun and creative, it helps you experience new sensations and have a blast while getting strong orgasms.
At Flure, we’re huge proponents of regularly trying something new in the bedroom, especially if you’re in a long-term monogamous relationship, but also if you’re dating and sleeping with different people. What a wonderful way to surprise your lover and give them a memorable intimate memory.
Worse comes to worst, you’ll try it, you’ll hate it, you won’t have to do it again. But think about it – what if it unlocks a brand new kind of orgasm for you? Wouldn’t that be marvelous?
In the end, the choice is yours, but remember that life is short, sex is great, and having different kinds of it will only make your daily routines better.
