above: the doggy position is one of the most basic position. It is a position where quadrupedal animals copulate. Bipedal animals such as men, can simulate quadrupeds just as quadrupeds can simulate bipeds by standing on their hindlegs. The name doggy-position came from that of dogs, the most common quadruped in contact with men in modern times.
above: In doggy-style, if the woman lay prostrate on the surface, as in this illustration, it's known as leapfrog position, because with respect to the woman one feels like a frog ready to leap great leaps.
above: the Kneeling sex position, is a variant of doggy style where the woman stands on twos, instead of all-fours.
above: Stand'n'carry, or, reverse-piggy-back position. As one gets into exotic and esoteric positions, the name becomes less and less serving.
above: A variant of the lotus sex position. In lotus position, a person sits with legs in a intertwined crossing such that the right foot rests on the left thigh and the left foot rests on the right thigh, with soles facing up. This position is called the lotus position because it is said that it resembles Buddha↗ or oriental gods who sits on lotuses. This is also one of the most basic posture of yoga, and does take some flexibility and getting used to.
If a man assumes a lotus posture and a woman sits on the penis of the man, then that's the lotus sex position. That'd be the ultimate zen of copulation. In the illustration above, the boy kneel instead, which decreases penis exposure and does not provide a flat surface for the woman to sit on.
above: Lap-sitting position. This term, is reminiscent of lap-dancing. That is to say, girls astride on men's lap and dance. In this practice, it is not so much of a performance of dancing, but intimacy as a service.
