If you love a smidge o’ Bridgerton or you’re just down for smut in any capacity, this saucy twist on the Reverse Cowgirl will tickle your breeches. Save a horse, ride the Viscount...
How?
One partner reclines on the bed, while the other straddles them facing away – spine tall, shoulders back, posture worthy of a dirrrty debutante. The straddling partner controls the pace by lifting, lowering, or rocking their hips, while the reclining partner can place hands on the rider’s hips, thighs, or waist for support.
Pick out some Bridgerton-style lingerie – think: waist-cinching stays, ribbon ties, or sheer chemises – and imagine big pouffey silk skirts (and an even bigger wig) tumbling about as you mount your stallion and ride ‘til your corset pops!
Live your raunchy Regency-era fantasy
Why?
The partner on top gets to live their best frilly, feisty fantasy, riding away at whatever pace suits them. Meanwhile the reclining partner gets a spectacular view: the arch of a back, the sway of fabric, the tease of lace. Lingerie adds DRAMA – and they do say “dress for the role you want” – especially if the role in question is the Viscount’s tarty little strumpet!
Make it even easier
Add pillows under the reclining partner’s hips to increase comfort. The partner on top can lean forward slightly, resting hands on thighs or the bed for extra stability. A sturdy headboard or bench at the foot of the bed can also provide support for balance. Slow, shallow movements can be just as satisfying without demanding endurance.
Make it even better
Give yourself a throwback to Daphne and her Duke by bringing a clitoral suction toy that licks, yes licks, into the scene. Pick a toy like the Lovehoney Heart Duo, which has sensual, flexible tongue made from body-safe silicone.
Apply water-based lubricant for a smooth glide over the sensitive clitoris. Sucking and licking toys can also feel incredible on the frenulum, if the rider has a penis.
Rider, try a strong, steady flick of the toy’s tongue while you move slowly – make your rhythm intentionally indulgent and drawn out. The contrast of sensations might just tip you over the edge.
Make it even kinkier
For a delightfully improper twist, read aloud from erotic Regency-style fiction before (or even during!) your ride. One partner reads – slowly, clearly, scandalously – while the other moves in time with particularly wicked lines. If anyone misbehaves, a quick flick of a riding crop will get them back in line!
Choose stories featuring stolen glances, illicit rendezvous, and breathless encounters behind closed doors. Regency-style lingerie becomes part of the scene too: loosened stays, slipping straps, whispered threats of discovery. The combination of movement, voice, and imagination turns the standard Reverse Cowgirl into a bodice-ripping experience!
