Common camera framing
Description: An extreme asymmetric split: one of the receiving partner's legs is carried up past the head while the other stays stretched flat along the surface. The classical description is literal about the shape, and it demands hamstring range most performers do not have cold.
Variations: The raised leg supported at the calf rather than forced to the head, or braced against the penetrating partner's shoulder. Reducing the angle turns it into the half-pressed position.
On camera: Shot wide and in profile because the split is the entire image. It is a hold rather than a working position and rarely survives more than a few seconds of a take.
AI design considerations: A near-180-degree split with one leg vertical and one horizontal. The pelvis must rotate with the raised leg, since a level pelvis under a vertical leg is anatomically impossible.
