Common camera framing

Side profileWide / full bodyLow angle

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.

Image to video (Thrust (shallow))

short-range reciprocating motion along the body axis, small amplitude, hips leading, 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 missionary is broader than this position: missionary records only that the receiver lies on their back facing the partner, and its wiki's list of leg options (a leg lock, a folded body, or the legs held) never singles out one leg, so it spans the whole supine face-to-face family. It discards the asymmetric split that is the entire content of this entry: one leg carried up toward the head while the other stays stretched flat along the surface, with the pelvis rotating to follow the raised leg. leg_lift and split restore that shape as a posture only.
