Common camera framing
Description: The rider lies flat along the supine partner's body, chest to chest, driving a grinding motion from the hips instead of upright riding.
Variations: Legs inside or outside the partner's; propped on the forearms for a half-lift.
On camera: An intimacy-coded on-top variant; profile framing reads the full-length contact.
AI design considerations: Two stacked face-to-face figures with near-total overlap — vertical offset and limb separation are essential to keep the silhouettes distinct.
