Common camera framing

Side profileClose-upLow angle

Description: A cushion is placed under the receiving partner's hips and the knees are drawn up, deliberately shortening the working depth so that contact stays shallow and constant. The old text is explicit that the aim is a fuller fit rather than a deeper one.

Variations: One cushion or a stacked pair, knees held by the partner or by the receiving partner's own hands, and the shoulders left flat rather than propped.

On camera: The prop is the position, and a visible cushion reads as set dressing rather than technique, so productions usually hide it under a sheet.

AI design considerations: A wedge under the pelvis tilting the hips up while the shoulders stay down. Without the wedge the figure is just a missionary and the position disappears.

Image to video (Thrust (shallow))

short-range reciprocating motion along the body axis, small amplitude, hips leading, 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, and the record itself says that without the wedge the figure is just a missionary. It discards the cushion under the hips that tilts the pelvis up while the shoulders stay flat, and the knees drawn up, which together shorten the working depth on purpose. No tag places a pillow under the hips (verified absent), so pillow in the support set asserts only that one is in frame, not where it sits.
