In the Planted variation of Cowgirl, the woman straddles her partner, facing towards his feet. She then plants her feet near the man's shoulders, using her leg muscles to control the pace and depth of penetration. This position allows the woman to maintain control and take a break from the more strenuous variations of Cowgirl. The man can elevate his thighs and plant his feet on the bed or floor, which helps the woman to focus the motion generated from extending her legs. This position is great for deep penetration and can provide intense stimulation for both partners. It also allows for easy access for kissing, caressing, and other forms of intimacy.
