The Side Saddle Position: How to Do It & Why It’s So Good

Ready to be a riding expert? If you know and love the cowgirl sex position, we’ve found the perfect upgrade for your next bedroom rodeo. Pop it, lock it and take it side-to-side with the Side Saddle sex position. If you like to lean back (or sit back), this seated sex position offers the perfect blend of laziness and intensity.
Who is the Side Saddle sex position good for?
If you find the cowgirl a bit difficult on the knees, the Side Saddle sex position offers a new comfortable way to ride. The Side Saddle also offers an easy way to get on and off your ride, meaning you can be quick and discrete if needed.
How to do the Side Saddle sex position?
The easiest option for the Side Saddle sex position is on the edge of a bed (or furniture item). This allows space to get into position, as well as easy maneuvering during sex. To begin, the penetrating partner lays parallel on the edge of a bed. The receiving partner stands with their back turned, lined up with their partner’s pelvis. To get on the ride, bends at the knee and lower yourself on. If you are using the edge on the bed, your feet will either dangle or touch the floor.
Now you’re in the Side Saddle sex position, it’s time to giddy-up. There are two ways to ride as the receiving partner. If your feet touch the floor, you can use your legs to push. This will help lift you up and down to ride. Want to try something new or can’t touch the floor? Place both of your arms behind you and your partner, leaning back slightly. Resting your arms on the bed, push downwards and lift your pelvis up and down in a thrusting motion.
If you’re the penetrating partner, you can use your glutes to thrust from a flat position. Or, add extra power and bounce by place your knees up with your feet flat on the bed for the thrust. Ye-haw!

What are the benefits of the Side Saddle sex position?
The Side Saddle sex position is versatile in so many ways. Being a seated sex position, height is not an obstacle – anyone can ride or be ridden. Plus, the intensity of your ride is up to you. If you’re looking for a lazy ride, simply grind into each other. Or, switch it up a notch and take turns thrusting. If you’re looking for intensity, you can both thrust and move together –make sure to hold on! When you’re ready to finish your ride – let your partner know and hop off. You can then transition to a different sex position if you like.
Make the Side Saddle sex position even hotter with a sex toy
Why not round out your rodeo with a sex toy side piece? Adding a sex toy or accessory to your play will help take your ride to the next level of sensation. You can heighten your play by either adding in sex toys that vibrate, tap, pulse or another sensation. Or you take full control of your pleasure by using restraints.

If you like the sound of leaning back…how about being held back? With the penetrating partner lying flat, the Side Saddle sex position is a great way to try restraints. If you are into a bit of power-play, try the Bondage Bed Restraint Kit . This kit allows you to restrain the penetrating partners arms and legs. In Side Saddle, this limits their ability to thrust using their full legs, giving you further control. If you want to try restraints as the receiver, I recommend using the Bound Luxury Spreader Bar spreader. This bar fastens at the ankles and keeps the legs open. With your legs open, the penetrating partner can use their hands (or a toy) to provide clitoral stimulation.
The Side Saddle sex position is a ride you won’t forget! Unlike other seated sex positions, the Side Saddle is easy on the hips and knees for added comfort during sex. This ride has no height requirements, so it’s suitable for all couples. Hop on, and find what intensity and pace works for you. If you’re wanting to take it further, the Side Saddle sex position offers easy access to clitoral stimulation or play with restraints. What are you waiting for? Giddy-up and get on the Side Saddle!
