Mastery Sex PositionSide Saddle Sex Position
The Side Ride sex position is essentially a spin on the standard Asian Cowgirl position. It's simple to pull off and works great if you enjoy being on top during sex. Not your thing? Check out the guide on the best sex poses for more ideas!
To set up the Side Ride position, your man lies down on his back, similar to the Cowgirl position. He should bend his knees a bit and plant his feet on the bed so he has leverage to thrust into you. Next, sit down on his lap and let him enter you, but instead of facing him or turning your back to him, sit sideways across him. That means your feet can rest on either his left side or his right side.
Her Role In The Side Ride Position
Once you're in the Side Ride position, you've got options. Stretch your legs out fairly straight and let your man handle most of the movement, or bring your feet in closer by bending your knees so you can push yourself up and down on him. Leaning forward slightly toward your knees also takes some weight off him.
For balance, rest your hands on your knees or on him. If you're leaning quite far forward, plant them on the bed instead.
Try sitting on both sides of him to figure out which one you prefer.
Some women feel a bit of sexual anxiety when riding their man. This post can help you ride your man with confidence.
His Role In The Side Ride Position
As mentioned, your man should keep his legs slightly bent for leverage as he thrusts up into you. That's really all he needs to do. If it feels natural, he can lean slightly to either side to shift the angle of entry. If you're having anal sex, he can slide a hand under your thighs to rub your clit.
Tips For Making The Side Ride Position Work
Plenty of Love Curi readers have tried the Side Ride with their partner, and their feedback has been genuinely useful:
- You don't need to sit at a perfect right angle to your man. Vary your position, from feet near his head to feet near his feet.
- This position isn't necessarily ideal for clitoral stimulation.
- The Side Ride suits anyone who also enjoys anal sex.
- Grinding on your man is easy to do in the Side Ride position.

Sean's Take On The Side Ride Sex Position
I'm a fan of the Side Ride since it's a nice change of pace from Cowgirl, Rodeo, or Asian Cowgirl. One variation I especially like is when my girl sits on me with one leg on either side of my leg.
