Doggy style

Doggy style is a sex position. This name refers to the initial position assumed by dogs when mating (see canine copulation). It is also known as kitty style, retrocopulation, or simply rear entry, or by its Latin name, coitus more ferarum ("sex by the way of beasts").

This position has been used since antiquity. It is described in the Kama Sutra as "the congress of a cow" and is listed in The Perfumed Garden.The Kama Sutra, as given at Kamasutra-sex.orgThe Perfumed Garden of Sensual Delight, Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Nafzawi

In this position, the receiving partner crouches on all fours with the legs slightly spread, while the penetrating partner penetrates the receiver vaginally or anally from behind.

For the penetrating partner, the position offers an unobstructed view of the partner\'s body from the rear, as well as leaving the hands and arms free. Having the arms and hands free allows the penetrating partner to stimulate the buttocks, genitals, nipples, or anus of the receiving partner.Rogiere, Jean, "The Little Book of Sex".
