88 Sex Position
“88” is a non-standard or slang sex position term that is defined in various ways:
- Side-by-side 69: Two people positioned next to each other rather than stacked, sometimes imagined as mirroring the shape of “88.”
- Body-type variation: Larger partners performing a 69, where the “88” visually represents two round body shapes.
- Butt-to-butt: Sex positions where two people put their butts together, often while using a double dildo.
- Breast-to-Breast: Sex positions where two people press their breasts together.
- General or improvised use: Some definitions use “88” loosely to mean sex or mutual activity without specifying a particular position.
There are also less common or highly specific definitions that vary widely, especially in user-generated slang sources. This further reflects the lack of a consistent meaning.
Because of this variation, “88” is best understood as a non-standard, user-defined term rather than a distinct or widely recognized sex position.
Origins of the Term
The idea of the “88 sex position” has circulated online since at least the mid-2010s, especially in forums and on social media. It comes from a simple joke:
“Why is 88 better than 69? Because you get 8 twice!”
More recently, the joke has gone viral again through short-form video platforms in late 2025 and 2026. Numbered sex positions like this often spread because they offer a playful, coded way to talk about sex that fits within the rules of mainstream social media.
