Common camera framing

Side profileLow angleOverhead

Description: The penetrating partner kneels and carries both of the receiving partner's legs up onto the shoulders, folding the body until the hips lift clear of the surface. It is the steepest of the classical folded positions short of a full inversion.

Variations: Legs on the shoulders or held at the calves, hips supported by the partner's hands, and the shoulders left flat rather than curled up.

On camera: Shot low and in profile to show the fold. Overhead works when the intent is the receiving partner's face rather than the contact point.

AI design considerations: Extreme hip flexion with both lower legs across the upper figure's shoulders and the pelvis lifted off the surface. Watch the lumbar curve: a flat lower back here is not physically possible.

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 missionary is broader than this position: missionary spans the supine face-to-face family and admits a folded body without requiring one. It discards both of the receiving partner's legs carried up onto the kneeling partner's shoulders and the fold deep enough to lift the hips clear of the surface. legs_on_another's_shoulders, folded and hips_in_air restore the leg placement, the fold and the lift in support.

  • Monkey's AttackcloseSu Nü Jing (Classic of the Plain Girl)

    Attested source name. Third of the Nine Ways: the receiving partner supine with the thighs carried on the partner's shoulders, the knees pressed back past the chest, and the buttocks and back lifted, the partner pressing deep. The text rests the thighs rather than the lower legs on the shoulders and leaves the partner's stance unstated, so the kneeling carry this record renders is the catalog's staging.
