The Amazon sex position is a woman-on-top position that a lot of people have never actually heard of. But it’s fun and worth trying, especially if you like to take on a slightly dominant role in the bedroom. It’s one of many positions we recommend you try from our long list of over 101 sex positions with illustrations.

It begins by teaching you the techniques to orgasm easily and consistently. Then you'll learn how to have multiple vaginal and full body orgasms during sex and masturbation. You can find out more here.
To do the Amazon, your man needs to lie down on his back and bring his legs upwards and bend his knees. You then need to squat down on your man, while he pulls his legs close to his chest so that they are out of your way. You then just need to squat up and down to allow him to penetrate you. You will find that your man will naturally push you back upwards with his thighs.
When performing this position, you need to be careful not to accidentally hurt your man’s penis as it will be bending backwards.
What The Girl Does In The Amazon Position
When you are performing the Amazon with your man, your priority is getting into position without hurting your man and making sure that you are comfortable. You may find that leaning on your man’s thighs helps to take the pressure off your legs a little bit.
I recommend that you first get into position above your man, before taking his penis into your vagina. When you are in position, slowly pull it backwards and then slip it inside. With the first few strokes, make sure that you are very gentle and careful so as not to hurt your man. Make sure to ask him how it feels and go from there. This is a great time to start talking dirty to him.
What The Guy Does In The Amazon Position
When your man is in the Amazon position, he will not be doing a whole lot. He needs to have a small amount of flexibility so that he can actually hold his legs into his chest and out of your way. He can use his thighs to very gently help to nudge you up and down on his penis.
Variations Of The Amazon
There are some variations of the Amazon that you can perform if you find that the regular Amazon is too difficult or awkward to perform.
Kneeling Amazon – Instead of squatting over your man, try kneeling to take the pressure off your legs. The only problem with kneeling is that you may find yourself constantly slipping down the back of your man’s thighs which will further bend his penis backwards.
Reverse Amazon – Performing the Amazon in reverse (by having your back to your man), you may find it to be much, much easier. You will be sort of sitting on your man’s thighs while bouncing up and down on him.
Things To Consider When Performing The Amazon Position
Having gotten some feedback from students who have tried the Amazon with their man, there are a few things that you should keep in mind to make sure you always get a lot of pleasure out of this position:
- The more you lean over your man (in the regular Amazon position), the less pressure you will be putting on his suspensory ligaments in his penis (the less strained his penis will be).
- The Reverse Amazon is much easier to perform with your man, without feeling like his thighs are constantly pushing you off.
- Talk to your man about what you like and don’t like.

Sean’s Thoughts On The Amazon Sex Position
The Amazon position is a slightly more exotic position to perform with your partner. If you like being in a dominant position during sex, where you have most of the control, then you have got to try it. I personally prefer the reverse Amazon because there is far less strain on my penis.
Orgasm Every Time. Easily. Here’s How...
I want to tell you about my friend Karen.
Karen came to me one day. She was hysterical.
She told me that her marriage was falling apart because she and her husband didn’t have satisfying sex.
Every time they were intimate, Karen was faking her orgasms. It turns out she couldn’t orgasm during sex.
In fact...
She never had an orgasm in her entire life. Not one!
This left her feeling embarrassed and ashamed. And...
She completely hid this from her husband. Thankfully...
It turns out that there is a way for any woman to orgasm. Easily. And have multiple vaginal and full body orgasms during sex and masturbation.
I shared the process with Karen.
After she followed the simple process, she could barely come to terms with how...
Quickly and dramatically her sex life changed.
We met up a few months later and...
She would not stop talking about it,
“I thought I was one of those women who couldn’t orgasm. I used to think I was ‘broken’ and ‘unfixable.’ This saved my sex life, and that saved my marriage.”
Even if you currently struggle to orgasm during sex or when masturbating, this process will also work for you.
And best of all, you don’t need to do anything weird or uncomfortable to start having the best orgasms and sex of your life.

The reverse amazon has been one of my fondest sexual memories. My wife and I have done it (unfortunately, rarely) and I have experienced both immense satisfaction and the fullest penetration I have ever felt.
It is a wonderful experience and I recommend it to any couple, particularly if they wish to explore some reversal of sexual dominance. I love being ‘taken’ before ‘taking’ my wife’s sensuality.
David says
I copied this from the corner cowgirl post I did, but this position is potentially just as dangerous, if not more so. Even without “falling” here, you are in a position to easily rupture his penis if you put too much back pressure on it or pull off of him too far, just as you slam back down on him (obviously not on purpose). I’m lucky it didn’t facture, but I had that happen before and OMG it was one of the most painful things I have ever experienced in my life!!! My ex-wife was 4’10”, 86 lbs… had she even been 10lbs more and I’m not sure I would have been so lucky!!!
SO, Safety tip: BE CAREFUL!!! If you do fall, try to roll to the side and tell him ahead of the time to roll with you. It’s probably still going to hurt, but from my experience there is a better chance of you sliding off in a direction that will not be so damaging.
REMEMBER, IF YOU FALL DIRECTLY BACKWARDS with your PARTNER INSIDE OF YOU, it is possible to “fracture” his penis!!! Yes, you can break a man’s penis, not just rupture it!!! But that is a whole topic in itself.
If you and your man enjoy more “athletic” sexual positions, you should both read up on signs of this injury. The sooner you seek treatment, the better your chances. In some cases waiting until the next morning hoping it will go away, v/s embarrassingly driving to the ER immediately, can cause him to be impotent for the rest of his life!!! (NOTE: Impotent in this case means he will probably never get hard again!!!)
Here is an example of how serious it can be on the national institutes of health website:

In some cases we are talking surgery, days in the hospital, and up to 2+ years for recovery.
Mike says
Wow…you sound like fun in bed. NOT
David Rosoff says
Why would breaking your penis be fun, in bed, or anywhere else?
Joe says
i came up with something like this about 15 years ago and called it “Froggy style” it is just like this except the guys legs are over her shoulders done this way is probably safer never had a worry or problem with getting hurt, one of the best sex positions kinda hard to get into but worth it if done right.start out with her on top then work your legs around hers till both of your legs are on her shoulders the trick is to not slip out while getting into position
Aditya Pancholi says
We also ends up daily with this posiiton. It gives a good look to her bouncing boobs and watching my penis movments in and out.
Jaime says
Im so gonna try this 🙂 thank you
Laura says
How hard is this position to do if your slightly on the heavier side? I noticed that the models for these types of sites are always thin.
Sean Jameson says
The key is testing it out for yourself.
Andy says
This position is so hot. My girlfriend is a female bodybuilder who is quite a bit stronger than me, something both of us find exciting. She has no problem lifting me and carrying me around, or manhandling me in any way, so it’s a natural fit for her. She introduced it to me one day while we were fooling around, and I have to say I don’t think I’ve ever had a more intense orgasm in my life. I’m naturally submissive in bed, and the power and dominance this position allows a woman is impossible to ignore. She f*cks you, not the other way around. We don’t always do this position, but I melt almost every single time.
Naturally it’s a somewhat awkward position to someone who’s only read about it online, but making adjustments and communicating what works and doesn’t is key. It’s very easy to hurt your penis in this position, so you have to be careful if you’re the woman and ready to tell her if you’re the guy. I highly recommend it if you’re trying something new, or if you’re dating a strong, sexy Amazon like I am.
Timothy Brown says
This looks awesome cant wait to try this with my wife. We are always lookin for new stuff to try!!
Ice says
How well does this Amazon position work if you are under 5inchs in penis length?
Jimmy says
My only question for couples that have tried this does the male need to have a larger than average penis size to be able to do this properly if so how big just a guess in length
Tim says
To the person asking about size, My ex and I used to do this position all the time because she was a strong independent hard core chick that liked to take control in the bedroom sometimes. I’m average, I once measured on a ruler and it was like 6.4” So I’m sure if I could do it, you could do it too.
It’s worth it, its hot, it actually hits the gspot all while empowering the female
Adamas says
Will a cock that points slightly up (not straight out) and is slightly curved up like a banana will work in the regular Amazon position?
Sean Jameson says
Hard to tell. My advice is to carefully try it and see for yourself
Carmen says
Hello,
I have a question. My lover is very fit and strong, and I’m too, but we are in our 60’s and he had a hip replacement when he was fifty due to his intense running, and I was wondering if this amazon position could be hard on his replacement.
All feed back on this will be greatly appreciated
