Common camera framing

Side profileOverheadClose-up

Description: Partners interlock scissored legs with pelvises pressed together, heads at opposite ends, grinding vulva-to-vulva. The defining tribadism position of FF scenes.

Variations: Both reclined, one upright and one lying, or side-lying; the leg interlock angle varies widely.

On camera: Overhead or profile framing to read the X of the interlocked legs; close-ups at the contact point.

AI design considerations: Two figures crossed at the pelvis with heads at opposite corners — the X-shaped leg interlock is the entire read.

Image to video (Grind (rocking))

pelvis rocks forward and back through a short arc, contact never breaking, 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 tribadism is broader than this position: tribadism covers all vulva-to-vulva grinding, including the stacked form with one partner lying on top of the other; it throws away the defining scissored leg interlock with the two heads at opposite ends.
