Common camera framing
Description: The receiving partner raises both legs straight up, ankles together, while the penetrating partner kneels close. Unlike the pressing position the knees stay extended, so the thighs close without the torso folding.
Variations: Ankles held together in the penetrating partner's hands, legs parted into a V, or one calf resting on a shoulder. Letting the legs fall apart returns it to a standard kneeling entry.
On camera: The straight vertical of the legs gives a clean graphic line that profile framing uses well. It is one of the few positions that reads clearly in silhouette.
AI design considerations: Full knee extension with the legs near vertical and the hips flexed to ninety degrees. The common failure is bending the knees back into a press, which is a different position.
