This is the newly discovered seventh position. Dorsal is 'back' and straddle is 'spread both legs' in a position where a male frog covers a female frog. At this time, males put their hands on the leaves and tree trunks, not on the female body, and contact is minimized. Males get off the body knowing the end of the act by the back of the female several times.
The six body positions that have been discovered so far are as follows. The most popular type is a type in which a male covers from behind a female, and those that hold around the waist are called 'inguinal position'.
