Doggy style, also called doggie style or the rear-entry position, is a sex position in which a person bends over, crouches on all fours (usually on hands and knees), or lies on their stomach, for sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration. 


The sex positition is called “doggy style”; the name is taken from the sex position usely practiced by the dogs while having sex.

Non-penetrative sex in this position may also be regarded as doggy style sex. 

When between sex partners, the person in the doggy style position is passive or submissive, while the other partner is active or dominant. 

The passive partner is open to a variety of sexual activities, with the active partner being able to penetrate the vagina, or anus during anal sex, as well as having the option of performing oral sex (cunnilingus, fellatio or anilingus).
