Pelvic thrust

Pelvic thrust is a body motion primarily used in sexual activities or as a dance move. The motion involves the rotation of the hips in an anterior and posterior direction, mimicking the act of sexual intercourse. It is also a common exercise in Pilates and Yoga, where it is often referred to as a "bridge" or "hip lift".

Sexual Activity

In sexual activity, the pelvic thrust is often the motion that accompanies penetration. It is a natural movement that is instinctively performed during sexual intercourse and other sexual activities. The intensity and speed of the thrust can vary greatly depending on the individuals and the sexual position being used.

Dance

In dance, the pelvic thrust is often used as a provocative move, particularly in modern Western dance forms such as pop, rock, and hip hop. It is also seen in traditional dances from around the world, including the Lambada from Brazil and the Belly dance from the Middle East.

Exercise

As an exercise, the pelvic thrust strengthens the gluteus maximus and hamstrings, and can help improve flexibility in the hips. It is often performed with the individual lying on their back, knees bent and feet flat on the floor. The hips are then lifted towards the ceiling, engaging the core and glute muscles.

In Popular Culture

The pelvic thrust is often used in popular culture to signify sexual desire or activity. It is famously featured in the Time Warp dance from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, where it is accompanied by the lyrics "Let's do the Time Warp again".
