A form of the doggy style position
Doggy style (also known as doggie position, or in Latin more ferarum, the "wild animals' way") is a group of sex positions in which the receiving partner crouches on all fours, while the inserting partner penetrates the receiving partner's vagina or anus from behind. This name refers to the initial position assumed by dogs when mating (see canine copulation. It is also known as retrocopulation, or simply rear entry.)
This position has been used since antiquity. It is described in the Kama Sutra as "the congress of a cow"[1] and is listed in The Perfumed Garden.[2]
