Doggy style
The doggy position (also known in Latin as coitus more ferarum, "sex in the manner of a beast" and commonly referred to as doggy style) is a popular sex position.
In the doggy position, the woman crouches on all fours, spreading her legs slightly, while the man crouches over her, and penetrates her vagina with his penis from behind.
This position is similar to that used for mating by quadrupeds such as horses and dogs, hence the name.
A feature of the doggy position is that penetration is quite deep. Disadvantages include that there's no direct eye contact, and that achieving alignment between the penis and the vagina may take practice.
Some people feel this position is very primitive and animalistic; because of this some feel it is demeaning, whilst others view these associations as a major advantage instead.
Many people do not regard this position as demeaning in any way for either partner, and enjoy the position for its own merits.
