The 69 sex position, also known by its French name soixante-neuf, is one of the most commonly known sexual positions. It allows simultaneous mutual oral sex.
 The 69 position
In this position, the two individuals generally lie down, one on top of the other or side to side. However, instead of lying face to face, each places their head next to the other's genitalia, enabling the genitalia of both partners to be orally stimulated at the same time. It is common for one or both members to insert a finger into the vagina or anus of the other to add additional stimulation and pleasure. Alternatively, a similar position can be taken by one upright and one inverted individual. However, some individuals find it difficult in this position to concentrate on giving while receiving. Also, the position places the more sensitive underside of the penis against the top of the mouth rather than against the tongue, thus reducing the quality and variety of the stimulation. The clitoris is not disadvantaged by the position.
It is known as "Congress of the Crow" in the Kama Sutra, "because each partner takes something unclean into the mouth." People who are affiliated with this sex position are called "69ers".
A variation on the 69 position is the "73", which is the 69 position with two fingers inserted into each partner's anus. One finger in each other's anus is a "71".
An old joke suggests that a 68 means one partner will perform oral sex and the other will "owe the performer one".
