What does “69” refer to?
This is the position two people get into when performing oral sex on each other at the same time. It can be two people of the same sex or the opposite sex. They are usually laying down (the adventurous are standing!) and may be both on their sides with each others’ head at each others’ genitals or they may have one of them laying on their back while the other is face down above them but still able to nibble, lick, suck, kiss and generally indulge in orally pleasing their partner.
