A sex position related to cowgirl in which the penetrating partner lies on their back with their knees drawn up toward their chest while the receiving partner straddles them. The partner on top can face either toward or away from them, and the position can be used for vaginal or anal sex.
With the lower partner’s legs folded, their movement is restricted and the person on top takes most of the control, which is part of its appeal for people who enjoy that reversal of the usual roles. The name refers to the Amazons, the female warriors of myth, and the dominance associated with their society.
