 Today I learned that the Romans called doggy style sex "coitus more ferarum" which is to say "sex in the manner of wild beasts". 

I'm a guy. Apparently we think about the Roman empire a lot more than women think we should. Just doing my manly part to support the team!

 This has reminded me of a blogger sex blogger named Jen (aka "the drunken whore") from 20 years ago who preferred to call this position "puppy style".  Those links have not survived, but another blogger whose links have not survived took "puppy style" and ran with it: http://www.erosblog.com/2004/03/01/more-puppy-style-sex/
