Common camera framing

Side profileClose-upWide / full body

Description: Both partners sit clasped together, legs wrapped, and move without ever separating. The old name is precise about the mechanic: all of the motion is rocking and pressure, and there is no withdrawal at any point in the cycle.

Variations: Arms locked behind the back, hands on the floor behind for leverage, or one partner leaning back to change the angle while the wrap holds.

On camera: Intimate and close rather than explicit, so it appears more in suggestive sequences than in hardcore ones. The clasp reads well in a tight two-shot.

AI design considerations: Two seated figures with legs wrapped and torsos in full contact. Small amplitude is the point, so avoid any pose cue that implies a large stroke.

Image to video (Grind (rocking))

pelvis rocks forward and back through a short arc, contact never breaking, 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 upright_straddle is broader than this position: upright_straddle covers every face-to-face straddle of a seated partner, the catalog's chair-based face-off and cross-legged lotus included, and its wiki lists a leg lock only as optional. It discards the clasp that defines this entry, both partners seated and wrapped together with the torsos in full contact, and the record's motion, rocking pressure with no withdrawal, which no still-image tag can carry.

  • Pounding on the spotcloseThe Perfumed Garden of Sensual Delight

    Attested source name. al-Nafzawi's 15th manner, Dok el arz: the partner seated with the legs stretched out, the receiving partner astride the thighs with the legs crossed behind the partner's back and the arms around the neck, and the partner helping the receiving partner rise and descend. Burton calls the chapter's sixth movement, a firm pressing motion with no withdrawal, particularly well adapted to this manner; the record keeps only that movement and drops the rise and descent the manner itself describes.
