Donkey punch
From Freepedia
Donkey punch is a slang term for a supposed sex move performed during doggy style or anal sex. The major cause of the propagation of this term is its shock value when explaining it to an unsuspecting friend or colleague. Thus, it is considered by many to be merely a misogynist joke. In reality, were it to be practiced, it would qualify as sexual abuse, and potentially battery or assault.
The supposed move involves the male punching the female in the back of the head or neck immediately prior to orgasm, accompanied in most tellings of the technique with a victorious cry of 'Donkey punch!'. The alleged purpose is to cause the muscles around the vagina or anus of the female to contract around the male's penis, creating a supposedly enhanced orgasm for the male. A variation of the practice may be enacted to distract the female, allowing for the surprise penetration of the anus. It has been speculated the term may refer to the surprised female at this point "bucking" (like a donkey).
Though most commonly described as being performed on a female, the move could also be performed on a male during anal sex.
In reality, punching someone in the back of the head (rabbit punching) can damage the brain stem, causing death or permanent injury. It is illegal in professional boxing for this reason. The move is potentially prosecutable as sexual assault and, in the case of surprise penetration of the anus, rape.

Variation: The Tony Danza
The Tony Danza is a variation on donkey punching named for Tony Danza, star of the '80s sitcom Who's the Boss? During sex, a male would ask "Who's the boss?" (the partner may be expected to respond "you are," but it is not necessary to continue) as he proceeds to perform the donkey punch on his partner while exclaming, "Tony Danza!" It is important to note that not all donkey punches are Tony Danzas. The Danza Slap is a similar act where a male being fellated by his partner and after asking, "who's the boss?" strikes her face with his penis, open hand, or fist.
Urban Legend
Though it has been claimed the practice can be seen in pornography dating back to the 70's, due to the commonly perceived absurdity of the donkey punch, it is often thought of as an urban legend. Andrea Nemerson, sex columnist for the San Francisco Bay Guardian, commented:It seems most unlikely, but I have no idea if it's true. . . . I can see it going something like this: Guy punches girl in the back of the head during butt-sex. Girl pulls away, turns and punches guy in the face, gets dressed, and leaves.
