Woman on top, also called the jackhammer, cowboy or cowgirl position, is a group of sex positions in which -
- the inserting partner lies on his or her back or sits in a chair, couch, etc.
- the receiving partner straddles the inserting partner and the partners face each other.
- the partners align the vagina or anus of the receiving partner with the phallus of the inserting partner to achieve penetration.
- Both partners can see one another, and in particular the partner can view and caress the receiving partner's chest.
The cowgirl name derives from the image of the receiving partner "riding" the partner as a cowboy rides a bucking horse. It is one of a number of receptive-partner-superior sexual positions, another being the reverse cowgirl position. This position is also used as a precursor to the lateral coital position described by Masters and Johnson.
