Common camera framing
Description: An on-top position driven by grinding rather than upright riding: the receiving partner lies flat along the supine partner's body, chest to chest, and works the hips in place. Full-length contact replaces the vertical travel of standard cowgirl, and motion stays small and pelvic; the supine partner lies flat beneath, taking the rider's full weight along the torso.
Variations: The rider's legs may run inside or outside the supine partner's; propping onto the forearms lifts the upper body into a half-raised line.
On camera: Coded as an intimate on-top variant in video; side-profile framing shows the full-length body contact, with rear angles as the alternative.
AI design considerations: The two face-to-face figures overlap almost completely, so introduce a deliberate vertical offset and separate at least one limb pair per figure; without that separation the stacked silhouettes merge into a single mass.

Motion only. The still you condition on must already carry the position, wardrobe and scene: restating them causes drift.

cowgirl_position fixes only that the receiving partner straddles a supine partner while facing them. It does not constrain the receiver torso angle, so it covers the upright ride and this flat variant equally, discarding the defining chest-to-chest full-length contact and the small in-place grind that replaces vertical hip travel.
