69 sex position
Encyclopedia : 6 : 69 : 69S : 69 sex position
The 69 position, also known by its French name soixante-neuf, is one of the most commonly known sexual positions. It allows simultaneous mutual oral sex.
In this position, the two individuals generally lie down, one on top of the other or side to side. However, instead of lying face to face, each places their head next to the other's genitalia, enabling the genitalia of both partners to be orally stimulated at the same time. It is common for one or both members to insert a finger into the vagina or anus of the other to add additional stimulation and pleasure. Alternatively, a similar position can be taken by one upright and one inverted individual. However, some individuals find it difficult in this position to concentrate on giving while receiving. Also the position places the more sensitive underside of the penis against the top of the mouth rather than against the tongue, thus creating a variation in stimulation. The clitoris is not disadvantaged by the position.
It is known as 'Congress of the Crow' in the Kama Sutra, "because each partner takes something unclean into the mouth." People who are affiliated with the sex position are called "69ers".
A variation on the 69 position is the "73", which is the 69 position with two fingers inserted into each partner's anus. One finger in each other's anus is a "71".
An old joke suggests that a 68 means one partner will perform oral sex on the other, who will then 'owe the performer one'.
Origin
The name comes from the fact that the digits 6 and 9 are the same character, just rotated 180 degrees. Note that this is not the number "69", but the digits 6 and 9. The letter/digit combination L7 is similar and forms a box shape.
The 69 also is commonly known to represent each partner, in terms of one partner being on the other, but flipped. The pointed piece of the six or of the nine refers to the genitals of one partner, and the circular areas on the opposite number refer to the other person's mouth.
