Common camera framing
Description: Grinding replaces thrusting in this missionary refinement, usually abbreviated CAT. The penetrating partner rides high, shifting bodyweight up the receiving partner's torso until the pelvises stack in direct alignment, and motion becomes a small rocking oscillation instead of withdrawal and return. The geometry keeps continuous clitoral contact through every phase of movement, which is the technique's entire purpose: depth stays constant while pressure does the work.
Variations: The receiving partner's legs may lie together or wrap the partner's body; either way the defining elements remain the upward ride and the rocking rhythm.
On camera: This is a sex-manual staple more than a shoot staple, so its record is largely illustrative. Side profile is the informative angle, showing how far the top figure has slid toward the partner's head.
AI design considerations: Build the standard missionary stack, then translate the top figure headward so the pelvises coincide and the shoulders overshoot the partner's. Bodies stay pressed full-length; any daylight between torsos breaks the pose.
