Joy of Sex - a la negresse (not SPAM)
abzorba
1972? Very classy, and with beautiful and ever so tasteful drawings of
a young couple in various sex positions. Of course we all read it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Joy_of_Sex
One thing that stuck in my mind was the term “a la negresse” for the
sex position which everyone knows as “doggie style”. Maybe I am too
much of an aesthete, but while I love that position, the name “doggie
style”, bringing an image of copulating dogs, is not one that is to my
taste. Now “a la negresse” sounds the exact opposite. Being French, it
has NO hint of anything unrefined. But it struck me then that the term
suggests that black people are more likely to prefer sex in this
position, or even that it is their NATURAL position. This then makes
sense of the other term, the Missionary Position, in which the couple
are face to face, man on top. The idea, now disputed, was that
missionaries taught natives that this was the only correct position,
and it was so named.
The “Joy of Sex” was recently updated for the times and re-released. I
read a review, and to my surprise, found that “a la negresse” was not
dropped, it’s still there in the most recent editions, all political
correctness ignored. This review: http://www.amazon.com/New-Joy-Sex/dp/0671778595
regards the use of the term as “beyond disgraceful”.
Here’s an odd thing. Looking up “a la negresse” in Google, I found NO
mention of it in the sexual sense whatsoever. Nothing at all. In fact,
the ONLY place it appears to be used for the sexual position is in,
you guessed it, “The Joy of Sex”. Political correctness being what it
is, Wikipedia goes out of its way to stress that the term Missionary
Position does NOT mean that Africans and Polynesians et al were more
inclined to prefer other positions. But it’s dubious.
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.usage.english/browse_thread/thread/92bd1e825115a1a5/50c6ae4890ff427e?lnk=gst&q=missionary+position#50c6ae4890ff427e
There does not seem to be any consensus on whether different cultures
have different preferences in bed, and frankly, I don’t think that it
says anything negative about them if they did. Is it some kind of
taboo to do a census on what different cultures do in bed? I mean,
what, after the Kinsey report, we’ve all suddenly become shy?
I HAVE heard that Afro-American men are more disposed to doggy type
sex, and I heard this from a few of them, but what of it? But, do the
French use the term a la Negresse, and what is it called in other
languages? And do posters think that “a la Negresse” is deeply racist,
implying that black people are more likely to favour sexual positions
that are associated with animals. (Humans the one animals who have sex
face to face).
Incidentally, this topic HAS been discussed before on aue, but none of
the threads have a great deal of substance. Here’s the best one I
found:

I suppose that there's nothing wrong with combining yoga and sex, if
that's your inclination. Of course, I know that there isn't a
wheelbarrow asana, but that's just because buddhists manage to get out
of doing the gardening by the cunning ploy of suggesting that
meditating is more important.

Well negresses seem to have bigger asses but maybe Afro-American men
just don't want their partner to see the silly expressions on their
faces.

I thought that maybe I’m out of date, but a quick look at Frenching
and Greek in the urbandictionary (as opposed to the Arcadian Arcana)
reassured me that the terms now mean EXACTLY what they had meant when
I was a youth. Frenching is tongue kissing, and Greek is anal.
Dr Hot Salt, I don’t know where you have been, but maybe we should
have a long talk. You see, when a man and a woman love each other VERY
VERY much, then they can start to feel things in unusual places in
their bodies. Then one thing leads to another, and we will discuss
what that is some other time.
(Have a look at the spelling in the definition for Frenching, and note
that it has been like that since 2004. And the bloke who wrote it
actually signed it.)

I'm quite sure it's racist. The phrase I am more familiar with, Greek
style, is equally so.

See, that's why I mentioned them. I knew about them.
What I want to know is, do the French and the Greeks take collective
offense at the existence of those terms as such? Well, the French are
excessively prone to being offended so maybe they don't count.
Also, what about Albanianing? Aussie-style? "The Mauritanian way", and

And, while we're at it, do the French take offence, offense, umbrage, or
an actual French word for it? (the Internet wants to tell me that the
French for "offense" is "offense", or possibly "infraction")

No pictures, but I've read respectable experts opining that the reason
for the unusual path of an elephant's vaginal canal is that at one
point in its evolutionary history, elephants were aquatic and
copulated face to face (technically "ventro-ventrally").

Sorry about my little joke, on looking at my post again, I can see I
misinterpreted your mentioning of the French and Greek terms, not
realizing that you meant them as examples of possibly racist and
offensive stereotypes (the Greek rather more so than the French).

Seriously, about 20 years ago, I INVENTED a new sexual position, and
it's fun. I can recommend it. You wouldn't want to do it all the time,
but hey, once or twice a night would be fine. By new I mean it's not
in Kama Sutra, or Joy of Sex, or Wikipedia, and I haven't seen it
pictured or described anywhere else. This mightn't be the right froup
to go into it, but if there is any interest, I will describe it, on
the grounds that it has no name, and I would like it have one. My
initial suggestion would be the Abzorposition 1. (1 because there may
be others later on) If you can patent human genes, can you patent
sexual positions?

There seems to be some confusion in the Wiki and Google literature on
this. Some sources say that gorillas and bonobos are the ONLY non-
human animals to engage in face-to-face sex, but the Wikipedia Dolphin
article says that dolphins do it "belly to belly" ALL the time. This
seems to be more like human lthan the gorillas and bonobos, because
they seem to do the face-to-face thing only very rarely, and even
then, it might be because the ground is swampy and the female doesn't
want to go face down there. I know that elephants evolved from
acquatic animals, and that their trunks were, and still are, perfect
snorkels, but I can't find anything else on what their sexual
behaviour might have been when they were acquatic animals.

This can't be true, it'd have been an ancestor species that did this,
not elephants.

Ok, I appreciate the joke, but it did make me wonder if there ARE such
valves in the trunk. The fact that they can pump in huge amounts of
water and expel it at velocity, suggests that there must be something
like that in there.

That's the one.
If God, the Creator of the Universe, is using Reverse Polish then all
religions claiming to have instructions from Him/Her/It are faulty. The

that is complete will He/She/It say how the participants are required to

Well, to get back OT a little, I gather from your name that you are
French, and so you are more than qualified to make these observations.
Now it turns out the French say "en levrette", which STILL refers to
canines, but at least this one is a lean and handsome greyhound. And,
as they said in my youth "You ride for speed, not comfort". And as I
say right up till now, "Uh? Come again?"
If the French don't say "a la negresse" then wtf DOES it come from,
and how did it get into the World's No. 1 (modern sex manual) The Joy
of Sex?
Incidentally, (as we used to say before BTW was invented) if we HAVE
to use an animal reference for a sex postition, could we not have used
"tiger style" or something like that, not something that reminds you
of a couple of flea ridden mongrels on the back verandah, having a
damn good go at it? Speaking of which, I'll just tell my Tasmanian
cousins to stop it.

No idea! I've never heard it, I've never read it (from Rabelais onward...)
and it rings slightly odd, in that the expected preposition would be "en"
not "a [la/le]" (e.g. en canard (sideways), en epicier (missionary), en

I'm sorry to say that this thread has no connection with reality or
cause in my real-life today...nice prose...I'm still astounded that
real-people are permitted to have sexual relationships ONLY when the
women are NON fertile...but there it stands

It can be either, but here it means stonemason/bricklayer.
