The "Woman on Top" positions

Vatsyayana in his book has given man and woman equal opportunities to derive maximum pleasure. In some positions the woman has to lie back and enjoy while the man does all the hard work while in other positions the man derives all the pleasure without doing anything at all. While in few positions both the partners have to equally involve themselves in the art of love making to derive maximum pleasure. The "Woman on Top" positions in the Kamasutra, are clearly oriented towards providing the man with maximum pleasure without having to really work for it.

The Vadavaka Position
Vatsyayana describes this position as follows:

"When, like a mare
Cruelly gripping a stallion,
Your lover traps and milks your penis
With her vagina,
It is "Vadavaka" (The Mare's Trick)
Which can only be perfected with long practice."

Just as the poem denotes the woman in this position has all the power and control on her partner while her partner has to just lie back and enjoy. In this position the woman has to ride her partner and has to keep the stimulation constant with her pubococygeus muscles in order to milk her man. It gives the woman maximum pleasure and with practice she can give more pleasure to her man.

The Virsha Position
Vatsyayana describes this position as follows:

"Lie flat on your back
with legs stretched out:
while you beloved sits astride you,
facing away, grasping your feet
This is Virsha (the Bull)"

This is among the set of positions in the Kamasutra that are suited only for experts in the game of love. In this position the woman sits on her lover facing away from him griping his feet to help control the stimulation and rhythm. She guides his lingam into her yoni and does what is called a reverse intercourse. This is a very difficult position and only practice can help achieve the desired satisfaction.

The Lilasana Position
Vatsyayana describes this position as follows:

"She places both her hands on the bed,
enthroned on your penis and
makes love to you,
while you press your two hands
to her thudding heart
This is Lilasana."

In this position, the woman sits astride the man and guides his penis into her while resting her hands on the bed to support and moves herself up and down for stimulation and deeper penetration. The man can make best use of his hands to stroke her breasts and maybe to pace her movements. To achieve maximum benefit from this position the woman has to be very experienced and should be able to control the movements and thrusts. This position gives very deeper penetration to the woman and she can control the movements in order to help her climax because it gives lots of stimulation to her clitoris and G-spot.

The Bhramara Position
Vatsyayana describes this position as follows:

"If, drawing up her feet,
she revolves her hips
so that your penis circles deep
within her yoni,
you arching your body to help her,
it is "Bhramara".

In this position the man is seated with his legs unfolded while the woman sits astride him slowly guiding his penis inside her. The man accompanies the movement by raising his buttocks and his thighs. Optionally the man can place his back against the wall for better support. The woman can kneel instead of sitting down in order to be able to lean more easily into him. In this position, the woman controls the penetration depth better that in the other positions by guiding her movements with firm thrusts of her buttocks. This position gives very deeper penetration to the woman and she can control the movements in order to help her climax because it gives lots of stimulation to her clitoris and G-spot.
