About

The Bull Rider Pose or Bull Riding Pose, also known as the Breakup Pose, is a slang term for a sexual position in which the man performs doggy style on a woman and then whispers the name of another woman in her ear, with the intention being that the woman will try and get away from the man and the man must try and continue having sex with her, like a bull rider trying to stay on a bull. The position was first defined online in 2006 and garnered an increase in attention on TikTok in late 2024, with many expressing shock over the idea of the position and many seeing it as rape.
