Kinkly explains The Ascent to Desire Position

Some couples may find it difficult to get into this position while standing. An easier option would be to start in a sitting position, with the man on the edge of a bed or chair and the woman straddling him, similar to the cowgirl position. The man can then stand up as he holds onto his partner's thighs or butt. To make this position even easier, the woman can help by planting her feet on a bed or table, which will help support some of her weight.
