Finishing Position

N. Alternate name for doggy style. The name is derived from men's inability to last very long in this position. Hence, once he starts getting it doggie, he's finished.

"Ward's ass came home drunk and frisky. He was on top of me riding away- blowing his beer breath all over me, I couldn't take anymore so I rolled over into the finishing position and let nature take it's course."
