The pelvic thrust is used during copulation by many species of mammals,[1][2][3] including humans,[4] or for other sexual activities (such as non-penetrative sex).
In 2007, German scientists noted that female monkeys could increase the vigor and number of pelvic thrusts made by the male by shouting during intercourse.
The sideways pelvic thrust is a famous female dance move in India and Bangladesh and known as thumka.
The athlete will get into a reclined position and thrust their hips upward to lift weights balanced on their lap.
These observations led ethologist John Bowlby (1969) to suggest that infantile sexual behavior may be the rule in mammals, not the exception.
