The reverse cowgirl or reverse Amazon is a human sex position in which:

• the man lies on his back
• the woman sits on top of him facing away from him, with his legs between her legs, and with her groin aligned over his to facilitate penetration.

It is one of a number of female superior (woman on top) sexual positions.

Advantages

• Penetration is quite deep.
• The woman can control the depth, intensity and angle of penetration.
• The woman can enjoy the dominant feeling of being in control.
• The man can enjoy the relaxing and otherwise rare opportunity of reclining and receiving pleasure without physical strain.
• Allows the woman to easily stimulate her clitoris on the base of the man's penis and testicles.
• Allows the man to more easily stimulate the woman's clitoris with his fingers.
• Allows the man to stimulate the woman's buttocks or anus.
• Allows the man to caress the woman's breasts from a more natural angle.
• Provides rear-entry possibility for very obese men if the man lies completely on his back.

Disadvantages

• Provides the man a limited view of penetration and thrusting.
• neither partner can see the other well
• caressing is difficult
• some women find supporting their weight on their arms hard
• The man cannot see his penis entering the woman's vagina, which can arouse him.

Since the penis is bent downwards in this position, care needs to be taken in this position, to avoid damage to the penis, particularly if it slips out during intercourse.
The reverse Amazon is a popular position depicted in pornography aimed at men, as it provides the photographer with a full front view of the woman whilst hiding the man (except for his genitals) from view, behind her body.
