Common camera framing
Description: The receiving partner lies on one side; the penetrating partner kneels astride the lower thigh, lifting the upper leg — combining rear-entry depth with face-to-face contact. A production favourite for keeping the receiving partner's body open to camera.
Variations: Upper leg wrapped around the kneeling partner's waist or held at the ankle; degrees of the receiving torso's twist.
On camera: The twisted, open silhouette shoots well in profile and low angle — a staple of every studio's rotation.
AI design considerations: A side-lying figure with a kneeling figure straddling its lower leg, upper leg raised against them — the leg-over-leg weave is the defining detail.

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.
Identifiers in other vocabularies
How this position is denoted elsewhere, and what each mapping discards. Full table in the crosswalk.
on_side records only that a character lies on one flank. Its wiki body is one sentence of general posture and its see-also list runs to curled up, fetal position and spooning, so the tag covers non-sexual side-lying and rear-entry spooning equally. It carries none of this entry's geometry: the penetrating partner kneeling astride the receiver's lower thigh, the upper leg lifted against them, or the face-to-face contact that separates the pretzel dip from spooning. the permitted vocabulary contains no face-to-face tag, so that axis is genuinely unreconstructible rather than merely omitted.
