This is what I found…

Sixty-nine or 69, also known by its French name soixante-neuf (sixty-nine), is a group of sex positions in which two people align themselves so that each person’s mouth is near the others genitals, simultaneously performing oral sex.  The participants are thus mutually inverted like the numerals 6 and 9, hence the name.

This position may involve one partner lying on top of the other or with both partners being side by side. Alternatively, one partner can stand while holding the other upside down. In this position, the genitals are stimulated from the opposite direction, which some claim creates a different sensation to that of the basic oral sex positions. In an act of 69 that includes a female partner, her clitoris is licked, possibly through the clitoral hood, which provides a buffer if the clitoris is too sensitive for direct stimulation.

If a male partner is present and if he is uncircumcised, his frenulum rubs against the roof of the performing partner’s mouth, while the foreskin and the front of the glans may be stimulated by his partner’s tongue.

Variations of the 69 positions include mutual anilingus or “double rimming,” and fingering of either partner’s anus or vagina.  Fingering the pussy can also stimulate the G-spot.

In these positions, the partners are said to experience sexual stimulation simultaneously, but this can also distract those who try to focus solely on pleasuring themselves. The position can also be awkward for partners who are not similar in height.

So basically, what this confirmed for me is that this is a great position that can lead to so much fun and variation.  We all need to 69 more often!
