The Clapper is a standing or kneeling variation of rear-entry sex, but with a crucial twist: both partners are upright, facing the same direction, with the receiving partner supported entirely by the penetrating partner's body.

And in the quiet after the clap, in the new position they occupy together, they finally breathe.
