Arab Sex #1: The Cavalier on Horseback

No, Arab sex is not doing it in the dark through a hole in her burka. The Perfumed Garden, the bible of that branch of Eastern sex, was written in the sixteenth century, when Arab civilization led the world in culture and intellectual achievement. The author was a scholar, Sheik Umar ibn Muhammad al-Nafzawi. His ruler, the Grand Vizier to the Bay of Tunis, commissioned him to write a manual on the arts of love. That great erotic explorer Sir Richard Burton translated the book into English in the nineteenth century.

This simple twist on the man-on-top position changes the coital dynamics, and the sensations are fantastic. She feels deliciously submissive and “taken” by her powerful riding man. Her hands are free to stimulate her clitoris. He can last longer in this variation than in most versions of the missionary.

1. She lies on her back with her legs crossed above the ankles, tucked loosely under her calves. Her folded legs elevate her vulva, making connection with her G-spot and clitoral stimulation more likely—and none of his weight is on her.

2. He straddles her, with his legs on either side of her, weight on his knees.

3. He rides her “like a cavalier on horseback,” sometimes leaning slightly forward, sometimes back.
