A highly sexual pose, used often in modeling, dance and gymnastics, mostly by
women. It requires lying face up on the
floor, with the back arched and head back, the toes pointed down, and the legs independently writhing up and down. Commonly the legs are together, with the thighs rubbing against each other, but sometimes can be performed with the writhing legs spread wide open as well.
Suggests pleasure or
orgasm, although can also be used to suggest pain.
Also known as "The Writhing Goddess" pose.
