One of the reasons so many women freak out about cowgirl is because of the ways it’s filmed in porn. You always see porn stars flat on their feet, bouncing up and down at breakneck speed, and slamming down with a ferocious intensity. It looks intimidating, painful, and even a little terrifying!

In reality, cowgirl is a much more relaxed position. You typically use a smaller range of motion, move slower, and grind more than bounce. Don’t let porn keep you from trying it out.
