Sex positions are the various configurations of bodies during sexual activity—how partners arrange themselves relative to each other.
Common positions have acquired names: missionary (face-to-face with one partner on top), doggy style (from behind), cowgirl (one partner riding on top).
The term appears frequently in advice columns, sex education, and casual conversation: We tried a new sex position last night.
