Common camera framing
Description: The penetrating partner lies supine; the receiving partner sits astride facing them and controls the motion. The defining member of the receiving-partner-on-top family.
Variations: Leaning forward onto the hands (prone-cowgirl), leaning back, squatting on the feet rather than kneeling, and the reverse-facing variant (reverse cowgirl).
On camera: Favoured for penetrating-partner POV and low-angle framing; the upright receiving partner is fully presented to camera.
AI design considerations: An upright astride figure over a supine figure; the two pelvises must register while the upper bodies separate vertically.
