Commentary
The wife of a person is a means of having children, the place of sowing the
seed (for children) is a woman's vagina, her front private part. So this is the intended place for intercourse, but no form and style is specified for it. Sexual intercourse may be made making her lie on her back, and may be from behind, but nevertheless the place of entering for intercourse is particular, which is only the vagina.
