Lordosis

The term lordosis refers to the curve of the lower (Lumbar) spine.

The seductive female gesture in which the Lumbar Lordosis is exaggerated to accentuate the buttocks, and the head is turned invitingly back toward the viewer, has been called the “Lordosis Pose”.

This pose is seen in many female species, notably horses when ready to mate.
