The Amazon Position
And no, AMAZON sex position has nothing to do with Jeff Bezos company. The name comes from the Greek Mythology, inspired by Amazon women warriors, famous for their dominance, and not just in battle…
Long ago, these Amazons were female warriors known for their physical agility, strength, riding skills, and the arts of combat. Living in a society closed to men, these warriors raised their daughters in independence, while socializing with men only for reproduction and pleasure.
Courageous and fiercely independent, the Amazons, commanded by their queen, regularly undertook extensive military expeditions into the far corners of the world.
On certain nights, an Amazon female would find her male partner, would push him down to lay on his back guiding his hard cock inside her, feeling every inch of him as she moved her hips up and down. Her man, helpless beneath her, moaned as she took relentless charge. With every thrust, she would take the pleasure she deserves. And every breath would become heavier as she jumps while sitting comfortably looking at him laying there pleasing her. He is hers to command. Sounds fitting, right?
The same fierce and passionate sexual energy is reflecting in todays Amazon sex position (sometimes called the Amazonian position).
So if you like your woman taking control this position might be something you are looking for.
What is the Amazon Sex Position?
The Amazon sex pose is a fun twist on the usual position, especially if you enjoy being a little more in control. It lets the woman take the lead, while the man gets to relax.
To try it, is not difficult at all. Just have your partner lie on his back and bring his knees up, keeping them close to his chest. You’ll then squat over him, allowing for deep penetration while guiding the pace. Just be sure to go slow at first to avoid any discomfort for him, especially since his knees bent penis will be bending slightly. This position adds lots of eye contact and connection.
Sexual Positions Variations
Many couples love the Amazon sex position, because it allow woman for a period of time to be in FULL control. This woman-on-top position gives top person the power to choose and dictate how deep and how fast she want to go.
It’s a fantastic experience that brings benefits like deeper penetration, eye contact with your lover, and hands-free stimulation. On top of that, it feels just fucking amazing!
Amazon Position Variations:
Standard Amazon sex position
The classic version, where the top partner squats over the partner on their back, adjusting the pressure, depth and speed of penetration.
Reverse Amazon sex position
Instead of facing your partner, turn away for a cowgirl-style feel. Reverse Amazon also opens up opportunities for anal play, if that’s what you’re into. For more on our anal sex play ideas, check out our article on anal sex positions.
Kneeling Amazon sex position
This variation reduces leg strain while still allowing the top partner to chose the pace and movement. Rather than squatting straight, rest your knees on the bed for extra support.
Don’t be afraid to get creative, experiment with toys or play around with different rhythms to find what suits you and your partner better. Now that you know the different variations, here’s how you can actually try the Amazon sex position.
How to Get Into the Amazon Position?
The partner with the penis (or strap-on) needs to lie down on their back and bring their legs upward and bend their knees.
The receiving partner need to squat down on the penetrating partner, positioning themselves for penetration. The lying partner needs to pull their legs close close to their chest.
Once in position, the person on top must use a gentle bobbing motion to create friction. Small adjustments in hip movement can help you hit that perfect spot. You should feel that the penetrating partner naturally pushes you back with their thighs each time you squat up and down. And Voila! You are in Amazon position!
Pro tip:
Firs of all, please start slooow. If balance is tricky, try placing your hands on the headboard or wall or on your partner’s legs for the extra support. Now that you’re in position, here’s what makes it amazing.

And When You Get Tired?
If you get tired while in the Amazon position, there are a few simple adjustments you can try to make things easier:
Change movement. Instead of bouncing up and down, try grinding or rolling your hips. This uses less energy and can feel just as good.
Take break. Slow down or pause for a moment if you need to.
Use support. As mentioned earlier, rest your hands on your partner’s legs or hips for extra balance.
Switch positions. If you’re exhausted, switch to a different position like cowgirl sex position to keep you both comfortable.
Communication. Its okay to share if you’re about to cum or simply get uncomfortable, don’t hold it. This will help your partner to understand and help you in the process.
Challenges and How to Overcome Them
While the Amazon is fun and dominating, it’s a challenging one as well. Here’s how to tackle potential issues:
Stability struggles. This position requires core strength and balance, so it might not be for everyone. If squatting is tough, the Kneeling Amazon is a great alternative.
Body fit issues. Depending on your body types, it can be tricky to get the positioning just right. Take your time to adjust and make sure you’re both comfortable before getting to faster movements.
Knee discomfort. The person on top may experience knee strain if enjoyed themselves for too long. Switching to other sex positions, could be a good idea at this moment.
What’s Else is There?
Remember, if your first experience with the Amazon position doesn’t go as planned—maybe you feel unsteady or things get a bit awkward—don’t give up just yet.
If you think it could be more enjoyable with a little practice or a smoother setup, it’s definitely worth trying again. Like any new position, it can take some getting used to, and that learning curve can be part of the fun. Just prioritize what feels good and keep communication open with your partner.
