belly to belly

Front to front

Belly to belly describes two bodies positioned front-to-front, with torsos facing and often touching.

The phrase appears in descriptions of close physical contact—dancing, wrestling, intimate embrace: They slept belly to belly.

In wrestling, a belly-to-belly suplex involves lifting an opponent while chest-to-chest.
