Comment on What does it mean to "get low" or "drop it down"?
PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 1 year agoYes this is partially true but when you get low you usually also spread your legs, which has the secondary effect of flashing whatever you happen to be wearing (or otherwise). It’s very difficult to dance and get low keeping the knees together.
So my point is, that there is more than just lordosis
The entirety of sexual presenting behavior is lordosis.
So no, there is not more than lordosis here. By definition.
Oh boy this chain has been the cringiest way to describe twerking.
Why would describing human sexual behavior using the proper biological terminology be cringey?
You realize that lordosis is a neurological reflex, not a sexual position, right? The position lordosis causes in animals may resemble similar positions in humans, but they are not the same thing.
It’s both.
I mean it very loosely approximates lordosis as defined in the article you linked. But it isn’t in fact lordosis, which makes the resulting reply chain pretty awful.
It is in fact lordosis. Lordosis is the posture and the presenting for copulation.
The fact is human behavior is more complex and is not a simple as a cat in heat should not need to be stated.
Bending over and sticking out your ass is literally presenting of the vagina.
Bending over and stining out your ass is literally NOT LORDISIS and only roughly resembles what your cited source describes as lordosis, which for example, requires the chest to the be lowered near or onto the ground.
How do you bend over without lowering your chest to the ground?

New word to me, thank you. And apparently, in animals which display that behavior, it is reflexive, not a voluntary action. But a point of interest from your article:
So therefore, while twerking mimics lordosis, it's really just dancing, albeit rather sexually.

We’re not talking about twerking. You are correct in twerking is a dance that does in fact present the person sexually. That is it’s appeal.
It is the bending over and sticking out your ass that is lordosis.

No. That is not lordosis. That is a simulation of lordosis. You are confusing a metaphor for the literal thing.
