Common camera framing

Side profileOverhead

Description: The wrap is the working mechanism: from a standard missionary stack, the receiving partner lifts both legs and closes them around the penetrating partner's waist. The clasp pulls the torsos together, tilts the receiving pelvis upward, and lets the wrapped legs draw the partner into each stroke rather than leaving depth to the top figure alone. Body lines stay long and horizontal; only the leg arc breaks the base silhouette.

Variations: Ankles cross at the small of the back for a low, loose hold, or climb higher around the ribs for a tighter clasp and steeper tilt; grip pressure sets the intensity.

On camera: Side profile catches the leg arc against the flat bed line, while overhead framing shows the crossed ankles centered on the partner's back. The wrapped silhouette reads as intimacy, keeping it common in couples-oriented photo and video material.

AI design considerations: Render the receiving figure's legs as a continuous arc over the top figure's lower back, with the ankle crossing as the defining detail. Knees should flare outside the partner's hips; a wrap drawn too low collapses into flat missionary.

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 leg_lock is broader than this position: leg_lock covers legs wrapped around a partner in any configuration - standing sex, suspended congress, cowgirl, and around the head as well as the waist - and discards the supine face-to-face missionary stack on a flat surface that this entry builds the wrap onto.
