Common camera framing

Side profileLow angleWide / full body

Description: The receiving partner lies back and draws both heels in toward the buttocks with the knees falling wide, and the penetrating partner squats rather than kneels into the space. The folded, splayed leg shape is what the old name is describing.

Variations: Heels tucked right under, or held a hand's width clear so the hips can still move. The penetrating partner may kneel instead of squat, which lowers the angle and softens the depth.

On camera: The wide knees leave the contact point fully open, so it shoots better than most folded positions. Low profile framing is standard.

AI design considerations: Deep knee flexion with heels close to the buttocks and strong external hip rotation. The squatting upper figure is the harder half: the heels stay flat and the knees track outside the elbows.

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 missionary is broader than this position: missionary records only that the receiver lies on their back facing the partner; its wiki names a leg lock, a folded body or held legs only as options and fixes no leg shape for either partner, so it spans the whole supine face-to-face family. It discards the two features this entry pairs: the receiver's heels drawn in to the buttocks with the knees falling wide, and the penetrating partner squatting into the space rather than kneeling or lying over. m_legs restores the first closely and squatting the second, but no tag joins them into one arrangement.
