etymology

The etymology of the term results from the typeface, since the number 9 looks like the number 6 standing on its head. The combination of both numbers symbolizes the opposite body orientation of those involved. In the English-speaking world, the abbreviation L7 (L-Seven) is therefore occasionally used, even if the term sixty-nine occurs much more often there. Sometimes it is used as Anglicism in the German-speaking area, while the French name Soixante-neuf was used earlier .
