Concerning everything favourable to Coition
77

cooperation is indispensable for it. If the man apprehends that his member may come out entirely, he takes her round the waist, and she receives otherwise no other impulse than that which is imparted to her by the feet of the man upon which she is sitting.

Fifteenth manner.—Dok el arz; (the pounding on the spot).[1] The man sits down with his legs stretched out; the woman then places herself astride on his thighs, crossing her legs behind the back of the man, and places her vulva opposite his member, which latter she guides into her vagina; she then places her arms round his neck, and he embraces her sides and waist, and helps her to rise and descend upon his verge. She must assist in his work.

Sixteenth manner.—Nik el kohoul (coitus from the back) . The woman lies down on her stomach and raises her buttocks by help of a cushion; the man approaches from behind, stretches himself on her back and inserts his tool, while the woman twines her arms round the man's elbows. This is the easiest of all methods.

Seventeenth manner.—El keurchi (belly to belly) . The man and the woman are standing upright, face to face; she opens her thighs; the man then brings his feet forward between those of the woman, who also advances hers a little. In this position the man must have one of his feet somewhat in advance of the other. Each of the two has the arms round the other's hips, the man introduces his verge, and the two move thus intertwined after a manner called neza' el dela, which I shall explain later on, please God the Almighty. (See first manner.)

  1. The vulgar expression of this position is nekahet el gada, signifying the coitus whilst sitting.
