Doggy style
- This article is about the sexual position. For the album by Snoop Doggy Dogg, see Doggystyle.
The doggy position (also known as: "doggy style"; "kitty style"; in Latin as coitus more ferarum ("sex in the manner of a beast"); in the French language as levrette ("greyhound bitch")' in the Italian language as pecorina ("little sheep"); and in the Kama Sutra as "the Union of the Cow") is a sex position. The position recalls the positions assumed by dogs when mating.
In the doggy 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. For some women this position provides the best stimulation of the G spot.
One drawback of this position for some is the difficulty of maintaining direct eye contact. Some consider the position humiliating or degrading.
