Reason: doggystyle is quicker to type, and is the more known moniker of the act.

It's already aliased the other way.

wtf, nothing showed up when I checked a few weeks ago. Must've been fixed since then.

sorry for the ultra necro-post but

it's still doggy_position

which is stupid

it should be doggystyle, like the op says

Basically. I've never heard it called doggy position anywhere else.

sure why not

Well it should probably be doggy_style rather than doggystyle. And maybe it's just that way to fit the rest of our *_position tags. Either way, doggy doesn't look like a word any more.

why underscore though?

Because it's 2 words, not one?

Exactly. Every other tag on the site uses underscores between words.

doggy_position is now listed as aliased to doggystyle, but the former still has 3926 uses, while the latter has only 1757. How is this possible?

facedown_doggy Reopening this related thread, rather than making yet another one. Sigh, necro versus spamming. This tag needs renaming? I think it's doggystyle/doggy_position/doggy_style but with face on the ground? I was actually looking for faceplanting like here: https://e621.net/posts/3991077 (See Absol in the background)

Looks more or less the same as leapfrog_position/rear_admiral_position.

yeah, what interstition said

on a partially related note: is there a reason why leapfrog_position is a separate tag from rear_admiral_position? rear admiral seems to be broadly about ass-up doggystyle while leapfrog is the same except the penetrating partner is on the knees

why such a specific position tag? am i missing something? are there really that many people where ass-up doggystyle doesn't do it for them but they go crazy specifically for ass-up doggystyle when the penetrating partner is kneeling?

I wonder if the first use was an accident where someone had facedown and doggystyle combined. (joke, not likely)
Seriously though, isn't there a separate tag for face pushed into ground like that, that should be used alongside doggystyle?
