Common camera framing
Description: Missionary with the receiving partner's legs wrapped around the penetrating partner's waist, pulling the bodies together and adding pelvic tilt.
Variations: Ankles crossed at the small of the back, or legs higher around the ribs.
On camera: The wrapped-leg silhouette reads intimacy; common in couples-oriented material.
AI design considerations: The receiving figure's legs arc over the top figure's back — ankle crossing behind the partner is the defining detail.
