Any tricks to girl-on-top sex when you have short legs?

My boyfriend and I have an amazing sex life, and he loves it when I go on top, but I don't really know what I'm doing up there. I'm not really sure how to move my hips, and my thighs get tired really soon. The distance from my hips to my knees is kind of short, to the point where if I straddle him on my knees, my pelvis rests firmly on his- this means it takes a good deal of effort to move up and down on him. My legs get too tired after about 3 minutes, which is disappointing to me. He guides my hips with his hands, but he can only do so much. Is there anything I can do to make moving while on top easier? I would love to learn to be good on top.

  • at least none of us are alone we are all in it together it seems to be a super common issue , let's face it guys are built bigger than us, what man does not want to enjoy a full ride but they pretty much knew from the first time he jumped in the sack with you that we are not compatible in size , you will learn each other's bodies and you'll go around it and you will work together or you will not have sex, I guess we could let them help us in bed and we can make up with it by amazing blow jobs and excellent kissing skills. I have always envied long legs with less hip because of this reason , but that is not possible so all you can do is enjoy each other and go to bed happy

  • My fiance is built like a linebacker... He's a big muscular guy and I'm really short and plus sized... I can't even ride him because my knees don't touch the bed at all and spreading my legs that far leaves for absolutely No room for movement. I really want to find a way to ride him. Sex with him is INCREDIBLE but he's never had anyone on top because his ex's were ridiculously greedy and lazy. I've tried reverse cowgirl and it doesn't work either! It's damn depressing!!

  • I have the same problem. My boyfriend loves me on top. I want to grind him (and myself) to orgasm, but I can barely move my hips since my thighs are already stretched around his body. He also likes me squatting up and down on him, but my thighs give out after a few minutes.

    I like the suggestion of curling blankets underneath my knees for height and will give that a try!

  • Yeah there is.. try just moving your hips, you don't necessarily need to bounce up and down on him... also it is possible for him to thrust from underneath.. try leaning further forward and moving back and forth not up and down.. can take a bit of practice.

  • Just move around so that it feels good for you! Try different things. Up & down, back & forth or a grinding motion. I can't help you too much with your legs getting tired. Hopefully like everything else you & your legs will have more stamina as time goes on. It's all about pleasure for you on top. Switch off to your side or wherever & then back on top.

    None of us knew what we were doing. Sometimes I wonder if I know or am any good.

    He will have pleasure because he loves it when your on top. Try different things hopefully some girls will be able to tell you what they do.

  • From my own experience and from others best girl on top position goes like this. have the guy sit on the end of a bed or couch high enough where he feels comfortable. then mount and get as close to the guy as possible then both of you just grind in unison. you don't really need to use your legs at all it's all in the hips. I've heard of girls getting of in minutes, but personally I say an average of ten and the girls are well pleased. try it out it takes some getting used to cause there is no thrusting just kinda a hip roll by both parties

    • at least none of us are alone we are all in it together it seems to be a super common issue , this is the first ti e in 12 years with my 6'6 290 lb partner that I've looked into what i can do at 5 foot flat to finally get my knees up off the bed , as the years go on i get more and more upset with it even tho we are madly in love and share a life together including 3 children , let's face it guys are built bigger than us, what man does not want to enjoy a full ride but they pretty much knew from the first time he jumped in the sack with you that we are not compatible in size , you will learn each other's bodies and you'll go around it and you will work together or you will not have sex, I guess we could let them help us in bed and we can make up for it with amazing blow jobs and excellent kissing skills. I have always envied long legs with less hip because of this reason , but that is not possible so all you can do is enjoy each other and go to bed happy

    • Also we went into the sex store , I went once alone to see what options there would be so I could ride him much better with just my hips and ass assuming they had some sort of stability object for my legs , such as stilts or solid pillows of some sort, but instead they referred a sex swing , someday I might try that. Then just a few weeks ago we went In together for the first time in 12 years and we walked out with a 70 dollar set of steel handcuffs and chains and a inflatable solid stabilizer to be used in several different way allowing me to gain a lot more height , especially in the known doggy position. I seriously recommend checking gadgets out from shops near you, anything to help you is going to make you feel better about the size difference between the two of you. Other then that, we are not port stars, not one person just lays still, it's a 2 or more people process , be sensual and learn eachother and the rest will be gravy. Please let me know what you think of my advice

  • i have that short leg problem lol. um but I have before put pillows or curled the blanket under mi knees for height. which works wonders. or if you go on ur feet not ur knees that's easier :)

    • Going on the feet helps but kills my quads! it's a good workout though. :)

  • Experiment. Try using your hands for support (though you'll need a good, flexible back if you want to reverse-cowgirl that way.)

    And exercise. You have a core strength problem; time for the squat rack.

  • Best way to get stamina in your legs is to work out those muscles. Not hard to do and don't need to do it often. Do leg presses or some of the machine type squats. Thank me later.

  • Sex stools are great for this. Look them up at Spencer's online. I actually have one just for this position
