There must be a list of names that people who make these videos use for describing the positions.

Then the next step showing (in detail of course) these positions in action.

Someone must know... and hey maybe there are 69 of them. Them someone can assign the number to the position and produce an "official" list of positions.
Hmmm. sounds like a hot idea for marketing a book or video of these positions... that everyone will of course want to try

In fact, that's one problem with numbering and cataloguing positions - it becomes a competitive, left brain logic thing. The other problem is that there are only 5 or so basic positions. Spoon is much like doggie (rear entry) but without the leverage. But doggie has the same name whether he's on his knees or on his feet squatting (up-and-over) or standing. We still call it doggie when the woman is lying flat on her stomach, with his legs either inside hers or outside hers. Yet they are very different. Mish is still mish with her legs on his shoulders, or with a big pillow under her butt and her legs held out wide, but again, a different experience.

The kama sutra was said to have hundreds of positions, but they are all variants of a few (although there are some crazy ones too which are virtually un-doable, and some which can be done, but not enjoyably).

Here's a webpage with some more positions.

Now, when his legs move outside, I can see that being called froggie (though it's a flattened up-and-over doggie). Although, again, is it a different position if he is in 'froggie' and then hooks his arches over her heels to use as stirrups -- not very frog-like?

You can have as few or as many 'positions' as you want, if you want to name every little variant.

Or you can just say, "Raise you legs, squeeze 'em together. Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhh...."
