What is the Amazon sex position?

WE’VE ALL heard of Amazon, but there’s now a new use of the term.

If you're looking t spice things up with your partner, we have a sex position you can try out.

What is the Amazon sex position?

Some sex positions look uncomfortable and as though they may be a bit of a challenge, but with the Amazon, you’ll be happy you switched things up from missionary. 

After all, it promises some seriously intense orgasms.

The position, which is sort of like a reverse missionary, has the woman on top.

The man lies on their back, and for the most part, is chilling, letting the person on top take control.

To get into this position, the man starts on his back and lifts his legs into a table-top position. 

From there, the woman squats down and positions their partner’s penis inside of her. 

The person who’s on top should then rest their knees beside their partner and you go from there.

Are there variations of the Amazon sex position?

The Amazon sex position comes in three different variations, including the standard, reverse, and kneeling, per .

The reverse Amazon is similar to the standard position, but the partner on top faces away from the bottom partner.

The reverse position means both partners face the same direction, unlike the standard one.

The kneeling Amazon comes in handy when the partner being penetrated does not want to squat or rest.

The person on top is to place their knees completely down instead of the feet, which is physically less burdening to the bottom person.

Is the Amazon sex position safe?

"This position is a little challenging physically, and it requires a little patience and practice to master," shared Couples Candy relationship therapist Megan Harrison with Insider.

"The penis is in a slightly more unnatural position, extended downwards. So it's crucial that the person on top finds the rhythm and straddles safely without potentially harming the penis-owner on the bottom."

While the exact origin of the name is unknown it seems likely to be in reference to the mythical female warriors, and not Jeff Bezos.
