That’s because the sex position under the spotlight in today’s Fabulous’ 12 Days of Sexmas Challenge installment is none other than the Cowgirl.

So what does this classic position involve, and why has it stood the test of time?

For this, the woman needs to be on top, as their partner lies down on their back.

Then, the women kneels down over their body, straddling their partner and taking control of the love-making.

A sex pro at Yahoo explained: “Your partner kneels on top, pushing off your chest and sliding up and down your thighs.

“They can relieve some of their weight from your pelvis by leaning back and supporting their weight on their thighs.”

And there’s plenty of reasons couple return to this tried and tested favourite time and time again.

Annabelle Knight from sexual wellness brand Lovehoney told Netdoctor: “You can go slow or fast – whatever rocks your boat.

“It is one of the few sexual positions that allows the female to look down at the male, rather than vice versa. That feeling of being in charge can definitely give a big confidence boost.”

Eleanor McKenzie, an editor and sex expert at adult romance website, app, and magazine LVH, added: “It’s a far better position than missionary for stimulating the clit, both with the penis and with the hands.

“On top of that, there is always eye contact, so you could say it’s a position that strengthens a sense of intimacy, as well as being very erotic.”

For the past five days, Fabulous has been bringing you a new sex position each day and challenging you to give it a go in a bid to mix up your between-the-sheets activity.

Up first, we introduced you to The Speed Bump – which is great for those looking for maximum orgasms with minimal effort.

The second day was dedicated to lots of lovers’ all-time favourite move Missionary.

Day three saw the unique Amazon position take centre stage, while day four was focused on the 69.

Now, with the cowgirl under your belt, it’s time for a lesser-known, but equally pleasurable, move.

Day six is all about the crossed-legged Lotus – make sure you read all about it tomorrow.
