The female superior position helps in increasing stimulation in a majority of women. This is because of more direct contact with clitoris and her ability to move freely. Hence, she is at an advantage to choose the positions which stimulate her most. In a study carried out at K.E.M.

Moreover, this position gives the female a sense of superiority of being in command of the situation, and increases her active participation, thus enhancing arousal.
