Frontbend
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A frontbend is a contortion position where the body is curved forward at the hips and spine. In an extreme frontbend, some contortionists can place the backs of their knees behind their shoulders.
Frontbending is used for autofellatio (and would be required for autocunnilingus could someone accomplish that) as well. Unlike traditional frontbending, this would rely solely on spinal flexion, hip flexibility is completely immaterial. Replacing it would be neck flexibility.
