This is what Anne Hooper has to say on the subject in her "Great Sex Guide"
page 125:

THE SETS OF NINE
The key action in this activity is thrusting and this is thrusting done with a
great deal of bodily control.  The Sets of Nine are therefore best carried out
from a man on top position.  The following 90 deep and shallow strokes need to
be done in order:
1. He thrusts only the penis head into the vagina before withdrawing.  He does
this shallow stroke 9 times, and then he thrusts the entire penis into the
vagina once.
2. He follows this up with eight of the shallow strokes (penetrating with the
penis head only) and 2 deep strokes (penetrating witht he entire penis).
3. Next, he makes 7 shallow strokes and 3 deep ones.
4. 6 shallow strokes followed by 4 deep ones.
5. 5 shallow strokes and 5 deep ones.
6. 4 shallow strokes and 6 deep ones.
7. 3 shallow strokes and 7 deep ones.
8. 2 shallow strokes and 8 deep ones.
9. Finally, he makes one shallow stroke followed by 9 deep ones.

Anne also offers this word of advice:
"If you want to carry out further sets, check with your partner first that she
really wants this.  Thrusting for the sake of thrusting may have an important
purpose, but you can also have too much of a good thing.  Use your common
sense!"

Hope this helps.
