Woman on Top

Follow our hot tips - you'll both be seeing stars

There's no doubt about it: Men love it when women climb on top in bed and take control.

''Men are crazy about this position because they get a great view of your naked body, and unlike with most other poses, they don't have to do majority of the work," explains Tristan Taormino, director of the Expert Guide sex-education video series. And it's not just blissful for guys: you can get maximum pleasure too. Learn how right here.

What makes it great: you're in the driver's seat

Being on top is the ultimate power position. ''You can play around with different speeds and how deep he enters you, depending on what feels best,'' says Jane Bogart, author of Sexploration: The Ultimate Guide to Feeling Truly Great in Bed. Another bonus: ''When you straddle your partner during sex, your Kegal muscles automatically tighten up, making the act even more intense for both of you,'' says Bogart. You might want to start teasing your guy a little and only letting him enter you part-way. Make it extra feisty - and show him who's boss - by pushing him down on the bed so he lies flat on his back. Place your feet on either side of his pelvis, lower yourself onto him, and gently move up and down. The shallow thrusts keep him from getting too excited too fast yet gradually build arousal. ''Most women feel strong sensation in only the first few inches of the vagina, so taking just the tip of his penis inside you feels fantastic,'' says Bogart.
For more intensive sex, have him sit up, then straddle him. Wrap your legs around his waist and your arms around his neck. ''This allows deep penetration,'' says Taromino. It's also very intimate: with your faces so close together, it's perfect for passionate kissing.
