Doggy-style intercourse
'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 after the custom 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''.
[1][2]
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.
