Common camera framing
Description: The penetrating partner sits with legs crossed and the receiving partner settles into the lap facing them, arms over the shoulders and heads close together. The classical name points at the necks rather than the hips, which tells you what the position is actually for.
Variations: Legs wrapped behind the back or resting outside the thighs, and the receiving partner leaning back on locked arms to open the angle.
On camera: Reads as intimacy rather than act, so it carries suggestive sequences well and hardcore ones poorly. A close two-shot is the natural framing.
AI design considerations: Two seated figures with heads at the same height and arms crossing at the shoulders. The face proximity is the point, so avoid the head offsets that most stacked-figure poses need.
