Description: Both partners stand facing each other, the receiving partner's leg raised and hooked over the penetrating partner's hip to open the angle.

Variations: Raised leg held at the knee or ankle; against a wall for stability; heights matched with a step.

On camera: The raised-leg line is the frame; a shower and location staple.

AI design considerations: Two upright facing figures with one hooked leg bridging them — the lifted knee's height sets the read.
