Making the beast with two backs is a euphemistic metaphor for two persons engaged in sexual intercourse. It refers to the situation in which a couple – in the missionary position or standing – cling to each other as if a single creature, with their backs to the outside. In English, the expression dates back to at least William Shakespeare's ''Othello'' (Act 1, Scene 1, ll. 126-127):〔()〕 The origin of the phrase is in (フランス語:la bête à deux dos), because it appears in Rabelais' ''Gargantua and Pantagruel'', c. 1532. This was translated into English by Thomas Urquhart and published posthumously around 1693:. In contrast, it is believed that Othello was written by Shakespeare in approximately 1603. ==See also== *''The Beast with Two Backs'', a studio album by the goth rock band Inkubus Sukkubus. *''A Beast With Two Backs'', a British television play first broadcast in 1968. *''Back with Two Beasts'', an album by the Australian band The Church (band). *''Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「beast with two backs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
