In many cases relationships are a contest between two individuals. Each of the two partners wants to get as much control as possible in order to make his or her life as easy as possible. Smart couples learn early on to split the work and help each other, while also splitting the pleasure. This attitude holds just as true for sex as for the daily life together.

Each partner should learn how to please the other and be pleased in his/her turn. The old role that tradition dictates for men and women are not mandatory anymore and so lovers have a chance to experiment. The woman-on-top sexual positions are just such experiments. They are a way of turning the old order upside-down by letting the woman control the intercourse, while the man can sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

Frankly, the basic position, also known in the US as the Cowgirl position, is a win-win situation for both partners. The woman gets to have full control of the penetration and to stimulate her clitoris in order to reach orgasm and the man can get a lot of pleasure with practically no effort. Moreover, the man is free to make the most of the situation by caressing the woman's breasts and playing with her clitoris.

There are many positions featuring the woman on top and trying them out should be a lot of fun for any couple who wants to keep bedroom boredom away. One of the best things about these positions is that, unlike the missionary position, the woman can move around to make sure that the penis hits all the hotspots of her sensitive vagina.

This is on top of the delightful grinding of the penis against the clitoris, which is sure to send the woman over the edge. Can you say guaranteed orgasm for both partners? However, there are a lot of woman-on-top positions and it's not always "lie back and enjoy" for the man. Sometimes the man has to do all the thrusting, especially if the woman has her back to him and assumes a reclining position.

Other times he has to use his arms to pull the woman toward himself, because certain positions are based on this kind of movement. But we all know that there's not reason why men should not enjoy these positions. And a piece of advice for the guys: your attitude is important! Don't get angry or aloof if your lady wants to be on top because you'd simply come across as fools who don't know a good thing when they see it.

So what if she wants to get on top? All the better for you, because it's free pleasure. Not to mention that it will really win you points with the lady for being a sensitive guy and knowing how to please her, while getting your kicks at the same time. Let go of the clich? male-on-top position and enjoy the ride. If, on the other hand, the lady wants to use the opportunity as a hint that your regular performance is not all that's cracked up to be, then take the hint and get busy learning how to please her.
