Get the failing up mug.

An advanced position in sexual intercourse involving one man and one woman. The woman, on top of the man, does the splits while hanging from something. The man lies on his back on a lazy-susan, inserts his erection into the woman, and starts to spin on the lazy-susan while remaining inside her.

STRETCH AND LUBRICATE PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING!
