Please forgive me…I’m over 30 and was never a clubber.

In a number of songs, women “get low”. In “Low”:

Shawty got low low low low low low low low

In “Belly Dancer”, they drop down and touch the ground;

Hey, ladies drop it down, just want to see you touch the ground

…

You ain’t even gotta drop down if you want to

What activity is being described here? What are these women doing?

    I mean it very loosely approximates the appearance of lordosis as defined in the article you linked. But it isn’t in fact lordosis, which makes the resulting reply chain pretty unbearable.

      It is in fact lordosis. Lordosis is the posture and the presenting for copulation.

      I can’t imagine why you’d say loosely approximates. Bending over and sticking out your ass is literally presenting of the vagina.

      The fact is human behavior is more complex and is not as 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 sticking out your ass is literally NOT LORDISIS and only roughly resembles what your cited source describes as lordosis, which for example, specifies an involuntary response that lowers the chest to the ground.

        I’m just going from the fucking source you provided. Feel free to provide another.
