Common camera framing

OverheadSide profileWide / full body

Description: The receiving partner lies flat with both arms and both legs stretched wide, and the penetrating partner works above. Nothing is folded or held, which makes it the most open of the supine positions and the easiest to shoot from directly overhead.

Variations: Wrists held down by the partner's hands, legs wide and flat or lifted slightly, and the whole shape reversed into a prone spread.

On camera: The only common penetrative position that is fully legible from above, so it is the standard choice when a production wants an overhead master shot.

AI design considerations: A supine figure with all four limbs abducted and no flexion anywhere. Symmetry is the point here, unlike most positions in this catalog, where symmetry is a rendering error.

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 spread_eagle_position is broader than this position: spread_eagle_position is a posture tag, listed in Tag group:Posture, and its wiki fixes only that a person lies with arms and legs outstretched and spread apart, so it covers solo, clothed and non-sexual sprawls as readily as this entry. It discards the entire pairing, the penetrating partner working above the receiver face to face, which only the missionary and face-to-face support tags restore.

Identifiers in other vocabularies

How this position is denoted elsewhere, and what each mapping discards. Full table in the crosswalk.

  • Beyond its label 'eagle position', the same name in Lithuanian, Serbian and Esperanto, and the description 'sex position', the item has no aliases, no sitelinks and no statement except instance of sex position (Q8394), so the match rests on the shared name alone. It drops the spread qualifier and fixes neither the four limbs stretched wide nor the partner working above that define this entry.
