When it comes to sex, everybody has a favorite sex position. 

There are the sex positions that are tried and true, that people use daily to get their groove on.

Then there are those sex positions that we break out when we want to try something fun and different, but still know that it's going to get the job done, and yes, by job, I mean orgasms for all. 

However as much fun as it can be to explore new sex positions, there are some that once tried should NEVER be hazarded again, because they are the worst and can ruin even the best sex. 

One of the worst around, at least, according to men?

It's the reverse cowgirl sex position. 

I talked to a group of men and find out just what makes this sex position so loathed and here's what I found out about why they seem to hate it so, so much.

1. It's for porn, not real life. 

Like so many other things from our sex lives, the reverse cowgirl sex position gained popularity from porn. 

That alone doesn't make it "un-hot," but it definitely makes it clear that reverse cowgirl is a position you only break out when you want to impress a dude or you want to spice up or put a spark back into your relationship. 

If it's your natural inclination to jump on your man's penis and ride him backward, by all means, continue to do so. But if you're looking to try out a sex position that is going to enliven the sex you have, why not try one that you can both enjoy? 

2. He can't see your face. 

Yes, you've got a beautiful back, yes your ass is banging, and yes I know you spent a fortune on that blowout, but I will be real with you: guys who hate reverse cowgirl hate it because they can't see your beautiful face. 

Yup, that's right. Even if it's a casual fling, guys like to see your face when they're having sex

Sure, that's partly about increasing intimacy, but it's also about knowing how you feel, if the sex feels good, all that stuff.

Men are visual creatures and when you take away your face even the most devoted ass man will miss it. 

3. His penis doesn't go that way. 

When you mount him in reverse you are in total control — which is great for you. That said, it also means that you are moving his penis in a way it is not meant to go. 

You can be thrusting your heart out, but he's biting his lip and praying to that you don't snap his dick off.

Know what fixes that problem? Riding his penis in the straight up not reverse cowgirl position. 

4. He feels less. 

Not only is the reverse cowgirl position potentially uncomfortable for him, he also feels less in that position.

When you are on top, you are in control. You control the depth of thrust and speed. 

This is FINE when you're facing him and able to check in about what feels good for him, but when you aren't facing him you can't get that information, which means you have no way of making sure the sex feels good for him.

5. It's hard to stay, well, hard. 

Okay, so we've talked about how this position can be hard on his penis. 

We have also talked about how he feels less in this position. 

Combining those factors it's not a surprise that when a man has sex in this position it is difficult for him to maintain an erection.

Knowing all of this, you might want to ever reconsider whipping out that (reverse) cowgirl hat again. 

And knowing is half the battle.
