This may sound crazy and obvious, but i don't necessarily think so, and i've got lots of time on my hands for thinking lately.

Man is the only animal which copulates face to face, so the dog, even though it is Man's Best Friend [as i have recently and belatedly learned] was not the overwhelmingly obvious choice.

I googled "origin of the term: doggiestyle" and was sent to another site, www.questia.com, but the hacks and turnkeys are announcing lights out in the library, so I can get any frther.

I won't be online again until next week, and i hope to find many informed and witty responses.  Thanks you.

Man is not the only animal that copulates face to face.

It has to do with the tricks they teach dogs. When you are over 60, "doggie style" is when the husband sits up and begs, and the wife rolls over and plays dead.

Doggy style is a sex position. This name refers to the initial position assumed by dogs when mating. It is also known as kitty style, retrocopulation, or simply rear entry, or by its Latin name, coitus more ferarum ("sex by the way of beasts").

This position has been used since antiquity. It is described in the Kama Sutra as "the congress of a cow".

In this 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. Having the arms and hands free allows the penetrating partner to stimulate the buttocks, genitals, nipples, or anus of the receiving partner.

or 'bag-piping'. Somebody needs to update the Definitions list here. Or how about 'intercrural intercourse'?

Would make for some interesting reviews. As in:

"We quickly went from DFK and moved to Axillary. From there it was a trip to some nice intercrural before ..."

I have a favorite who is great at that sumata.  Now I know what to call it.

It is highly erotic.
