The purpose of S mount is a setup for an armbar. From the mount position you bring, for example, you left knee up to the head, trapping his right arm. Then your right leg under the left arm, facing forward, bottom of you foot facing away form you. Thats the "S" position. This will allow for a quick transition to the armbar on the opponents right arm. You can also pivot quickly and switch you legs completely opposite and attack the other arm. Your weight is resting on the opponents chest, making it hard to bridge out, and you have both legs and one hand to use for base. My number one attack from the mount is using the "X" choke to set up the "S" mount and swing for the armbar. If the opponent defends well on the arm I am attacking, I pivot the "S" mount to the other side and get that arm.
