The Mastery Sex Position: A Full How-To

Lotus Sex PositionSide Ride Sex Position

Mastery is one of those sex positions that deserves way more attention than it gets — it's satisfying and fun, but relatively few couples even know it exists. Love Curi is here to change that with a full breakdown of how to do it and get the most out of it. You'll find similarly detailed guidance across 100+ of the best sex positions.

To set it up, have your man sit on the edge of the bed (a sofa works too), feet flat on the floor, with his thighs and butt resting on the surface. From there, either kneel onto his lap or squat down the way you would in Asian Cowgirl, then wrap your arms around his neck. He can thrust up into you while you're on top, and you can lift yourself up and down, though rocking and grinding tends to feel more natural in this position.

Her Role In Mastery

Rising and lowering yourself onto him comes naturally in this position. Because you're face-to-face with your man, Mastery stays intimate throughout — you can kiss and hold eye contact the whole time.

You can also loop your hands around his neck and lean back to shift the angle entirely.

Feel free to pinch, scratch, or add other touches that help you feel more dominant while you're on top in this female dominant sex position. Check our article on rough sex for more ideas along those lines.

His Role In Mastery

Your man has options for how he engages in Mastery:

1. Wrapping his arms around you (whether you're sitting or kneeling on him) feels more intimate, but it also limits how much he can thrust — he'll mostly be grinding against you instead.

2. Alternatively, he can plant his arms behind him on the bed or sofa for support and leverage, giving him more room to thrust up into you.

Both approaches offer something different. Combine either one with you kneeling, sitting, or leaning back, and you end up with quite a few variations on Mastery.
