Common camera framing

Side profileLow angleClose-up

Description: The receiving partner lies back with the legs crossed at the ankles in a folded, cross-legged shape and the knees dropped wide, while the penetrating partner kneels into the opening. It takes the seated lotus shape and lays it down.

Variations: Ankles crossed loosely or drawn in tight, hips propped on a cushion, or the penetrating partner holding the knees down to keep the fold open.

On camera: The wide knee spread makes it one of the more open kneeling shapes, so it holds a low profile framing better than most folded positions.

AI design considerations: External hip rotation with crossed ankles and knees falling laterally. The crossed ankles are what distinguish it, and they are the first thing renders drop.

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 records only that the receiver lies on their back facing the partner, so it spans the whole supine face-to-face family and discards the folded lotus shape that defines this entry: the ankles crossed with the knees dropped wide in external rotation, the seated lotus laid down. crossed_ankles and knees_apart_feet_together restore that shape as a leg posture; lotus_position and indian_style cannot carry it, since both wikis define a sitting position.
