Yogasanas imitated various animal positions. Similarly, many ancient sex techniques were also developed from the sex postures of various animals and listed in Kama Sutra.

It is said that the specific characteristics of these animals can be imbibed, ingested, and displayed by acting like them while having sex.

A few of these animal sex positions are named as "sex-position of a cow", "sex-position of a dog", "sex-position of a goat", "sex-position of a deer", "the forceful sex-mounting of an ass", "the sex-union of cats", "the sex-jump of a tiger", "the sex-pressing of an elephant", "the sex-rubbing of a boar", and "the sex-mounting of a horse".

It is said that animal sex positions also produce sympathetic, magical bonds with specific animals. Their powers and qualities, e.g., strength, agility, smell, sight, speed, etc. can be, thus, ingested by the couple having sex in these positions and the animal-specific becomes an 'ally'.

Position of a cow: The woman stands on all fours, with her hands and feet on the ground like a quadruped. The man mounts from behind like a bull does. In this position, every stimulation a man generally does on the breasts, is to be done on the back of the woman.

The same description goes with the position of other animals.
