Sorry, thats wrong. Geschlecht means gender and cannot be translated as sex (like your sex can be used both ways). You could use Verkehr (traffic) which would have a double meaning in German (sex & traffic). And we put the nine before the sixty (doesnt make anysense, but at least our number system is not as ****ed up as the french one) So Sixty-nine becomes Neun-Sechszig (Nine-Sixty). The position is called the same though (69).

Japanese gameshows are the best. Since you guys seem to be enjoying that, watch this one. I wish our reality shows were like this:

People in the classroom have to sit and NOT LAUGH. Whoever LAUGHS gets a good spankn'
