Description: The receiving partner takes the top facing the penetrating partner, with the legs interlocked rather than simply straddling. The interlock is what the classical name marks: the legs alternate rather than sitting outside, which keeps the pelvises tighter than a plain straddle.

Variations: One leg through, both through, or a straddle with the ankles hooked behind. Unhooking returns it to a standard astride position.

On camera: The leg weave is only visible low and in profile. From above it reads as an ordinary cowgirl, which is why the name rarely survives into modern catalogs.

AI design considerations: Alternating legs between two figures with the upper one upright. As with the fitter-in, the weave order has to be decided explicitly or the limbs merge.

Image to video (Ride (grind))

upper figure stays seated and moves forward and back, no vertical travel, 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.

Expected figure count: 2. Global pose conditioning does not make a diffusion model count bodies. Count figures and limbs at full size before judging quality, because thumbnails hide the failure. The tag cowgirl_position is broader than this position: cowgirl_position covers the facing ride over a supine partner at any torso angle and asks only that the receiving partner straddle the partner below. It discards the interlock this record treats as defining, the receiving partner's legs alternating with the partner's instead of sitting outside them, which keeps the pelvises tighter than a plain straddle. interlocked_legs carries the weave, but it is a thin posture tag with no sexual sense.

  • Fishes InterlockcloseSu Nü Jing (Classic of the Plain Girl)

    Attested source name. Eighth of the Nine Ways, not the seventh as the seed note says: the partner supine, the receiving partner astride with the thighs forward, a slow shallow entry, and the receiving partner alone moving. The text describes a plain straddle and no leg interlock, so the weave this record treats as defining is not attested.
