Common camera framing

Wide / full bodyLow angle

Description: Borrowed from wrestling: the penetrating partner, lying or seated behind, hooks their arms under the receiving partner's knees and locks hands behind the neck, pinning them folded and open, both facing up. A gonzo-era signature hold.

Variations: Seated or standing carries of the same lock; the hold's depth varies with flexibility.

On camera: Presents the receiving partner completely frontal to camera — the reason for its genre currency.

AI design considerations: Two stacked face-up figures with the top figure folded — knees near shoulders — and the bottom figure's arms threaded under the knees; the arm lock is the defining detail.

Image to video (Thrust (deep))

long-range reciprocating motion along the body axis, full amplitude, torso following the hips, 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 full_nelson is broader than this position: full_nelson denotes an arm lock, not a sex position. Its wiki defines a wrestling hold, so the tag covers clothed non-sexual wrestling art in which no penetration occurs at all, and where it is sexual the wiki's stated default pairing is reverse suspended congress, in which the receiver is held in midair. The tag therefore fixes neither that penetration is happening nor that the penetrating partner is lying or seated behind, leaving the carry versus lying versus seated axis that the catalog record pins wide open.
