Trying Out Something New
Alright, so someone mentioned this “bull rider” thing the other day. Sounded kinda wild, honestly. Names for these things always get me curious, you know? Like, what’s that even supposed to feel like? My partner and I, we’re usually game to mix things up, keeps things from getting stale. So, we figured, why not give this bull rider a whirl?
Getting Set Up
So, the setup wasn’t rocket science, but it took a little maneuvering. Basically, I ended up lying back, pretty standard stuff there. My partner then got on top, but facing away from me. That’s the key part, the facing away. Kinda like riding a horse, or well, a bull, I guess the name implies.
- Getting the angle right took a second.
- Finding a comfortable balance was important.
- Needed some decent core strength from my partner, definitely.
The Ride Itself
This is where the name started making sense. Once we got the position sorted, the movement began. It’s very much controlled by the person on top. They set the pace, the rhythm, the up-and-down motion. It felt different, for sure. Because they’re facing away, the way our bodies connected changed things up quite a bit.
It wasn’t exactly like some rodeo show, haha, but I get the name. There’s a certain bucking motion you can get into. My partner really had to work those hips, leaning forward sometimes, using their hands on my legs or the bed for balance. It’s active. Very active for the person on top.
We had to communicate a bit, find what felt good for both of us. Sometimes the pace got intense, other times slower. Took some experimenting, like most new things do. You gotta find that groove together.
Final Thoughts on the Bull Rider
Was it crazy? Yeah, kinda fun crazy. It’s definitely a position that puts the top partner in full control and gives them a workout. The view is different, the feeling is different. Took a bit of practice to really nail it down and get comfortable, but hey, that’s part of the process, right? Trying stuff out, seeing what sticks. We definitely got a good laugh trying to coordinate at first. It’s one of those things you try, see if it fits, and add it to the playbook if it works. Worth a shot if you’re looking to change the pace and give the rider some serious control.
