Topic: How to define cowgirl_position

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

This topic has been locked.

As I mentioned in forum #25108, this thread is to discuss how to better define the cowgirl position wiki. It's quite important, given that it will define how to use said tag.

Here's how I see it:
Option 1: When the bottom is on their back with the top facing them, with the top's legs over their crotch like a saddle. Examples:
post #148677
post #110360

Option 2: Like option 1, but the bottom has their penis/phallic instrument angled towards or in the top's orifice/s. Examples:
post #166148
post #166520

Of course, opinions are valued and welcomed.

Both of them. I see cowgirl position simply as one person laying on their back, with another person straddling their hips, facing them. I've never heard of these ridiculously specific requirements like angle of penetration.

Eh, I was just quoting Wikipedia on the angle bit. Seemed legit.

The only thing is that I'm not really sure I'd call post #166148 as cowgirl. I think that if it's cowgirl, the top needs to be mostly upright, like riding a horse.

Yeah, I wouldn't call that cowgirl position either.

Well, if it's not cowgirl, what position is it? And are you a bad enough dude to add it and remove cowgirl_position?

Well, looking around at Wikipedia, SexInfo101, and other places, it either is a cowgirl variant, or else it's just plain "woman on top."

Meh just leave it as it is, don't think we need bunch of tags for obscure positions

Updated by anonymous

I keep my stance from the previous discussion. And I say that post #166148 could either be cowgirl_position+leaning_forward, or just girl_on_top.

Updated by anonymous

Not so sure about girl/female/woman on top being a tag though. After all, we have this picture. post #147805
The receiver is clearly not female. This would be either cuntboy_on_top, or cowgirl_position.
Now, I'm for keeping gender specifics out of tags, so I would pick the latter tag to be used on this post, or any other posts where intersexed characters are involved.

I'd also like to eliminate gender specifics, but what other name could we use besides cowgirl_position? Cowgirl_position sounds fine though, but I don't care if it's aliased to something else.

I wasn't implying we should change the tag for the position.

I just mean about the gender part. Or we could just leave it the same. Don't really care anymore.

cowgirl + leaning forward = missionary

The fourth picture in the OP sort of blurs the line, as if the person on top is leaning at a 45 degree angle then they're right in between missionary and cowgirl.

For the sake of clarity I'd say missionary is only when both partners are completely parallel to one another; anything else would be cowgirl.

Nope. Missionary is a man-on-top, partners facing position.

Really? I thought missionary was gender-neutral.

What if it's two girls lying flat on top of each other?

I don't see it as missionary without penetration.

Updated by anonymous

Yeah. Missionary is penetrating partner on top, penetrated partner on bottom, lying on back. It's not really gendered, but it is about who is penetrating whom.

Positions specifically are coitus-neutral; As in, they do not require sex to be going on to be classified as a position. It's the same as calling it a pose, but it is mainly used in sexual situations and is more commonly known by the term position. I'd use it for everything but the gator/bird one, which is just woman_on_top as they are relatively parallel to each other.

What? If someone's simply bending over in front of someone else, that's not doggystyle. If someone's simply laying on top of another person, that's not missionary. Sex positions are separate. from non-sexual positions.

Just bending over? nope, since that's not the 'classical' definition for doggystyle anyways. On hands and knees with butt up against the other? Positionally, yup. Just lying atop someone being missionary? nope. The person on bottom has to have their legs either spread flat, drawn up toward the chest, or wrapped around the other person's back or legs. The person on top has to be on their belly with their legs between the one on bottom's legs.

I'm not saying "Every sexual position is a generic position by just vaguely being in the same general position" I mean flat-out, being in the same general position as wehn coitus normally happens. You can have two people snuggling, for example, with the top kissing the bottom and otherwise letting a comfortable amount of weight rest on the bottom, which can give a feeling of safe and secure warmth- But no sex is occuring and if someone saw the two in that position, it'd definitely be the first thing that comes to mind.

I think he's just silly and doesn't bother looking around to see if what he's talking about exists before he starts clamoring for it.

Thus the worst kind of troll; The one that trolls and gets away with it because he's seen as 'harmless'.

Locking the thread since the cowgirl_position discussion has pretty much run dry.
