Common camera framing
Description: The receiving partner lies flat and face down with the legs together, and the penetrating partner lies along the back, clinging rather than driving. The classical description emphasizes stillness and full contact along the length of both bodies.
Variations: Arms spread or tucked, a slight hip lift to open the angle, and the upper partner's weight taken on the elbows rather than the chest.
On camera: Almost fully occluded, so it works as an intimacy beat and not as a hardcore shot. Overhead is the only framing that shows anything of the arrangement.
AI design considerations: Two prone figures in maximum contact with legs together. Because the silhouettes nearly coincide, the separation has to be carried by shoulder offset and limb placement.

pelvis rocks forward and back through a short arc, contact never breaking, camera is locked on a tripod and does not move.
Motion only. The still you condition on must already carry the position, wardrobe and scene: restating them causes drift.
Identifiers in other vocabularies
How this position is denoted elsewhere, and what each mapping discards. Full table in the crosswalk.
prone_bone constrains only the receiving body, flat on the stomach and entered from behind, and is the tag the catalog's own prone-bone entry already uses. It discards the legs held together, the upper partner lying full length along the back, and the clinging stillness the record emphasizes. legs_together and lying_on_person restore the first two; the stillness is a matter of motion, which no still-image tag carries.
Cicada ClingscloseSu Nü Jing (Classic of the Plain Girl)Attested source name. Fourth of the Nine Ways: the receiving partner prone with the body stretched straight and the partner lying behind. The text then calls for deep entry with a slight lift of the hips and a counted set of strokes, so the stillness and grinding this record emphasizes are not in the source.
