Common camera framing
Description: A fully folded missionary: the receiving partner's knees are pressed back toward the chest while the penetrating partner leans their weight over the fold, pinning the hips at maximum tilt.
Variations: Ankles held by the penetrating partner, or hooked behind their arms; depth of the fold varies with flexibility.
On camera: A video-era staple named in internet vernacular; shot in profile or from overhead to read the fold.
AI design considerations: The receiving figure is compressed — knees near shoulders — with the penetrating figure's mass directly above; the fold angle defines the pose.
