Common camera framing

Side profileWide / full bodyRear

Description: Both partners kneel one behind the other, and the front partner leans back onto locked arms so the torso opens away from the body behind. The lean is the hinge, and it turns an upright kneeling position into something with a working angle.

Variations: Hands on the floor behind or on the partner's thighs, and the depth of the lean sets the depth of entry. Sitting fully upright closes the hinge and ends the position.

On camera: The open torso is exactly what an upright kneeling position hides, so this is the version productions reach for when they need a rear-entry shape with the front of the body visible.

AI design considerations: Two kneeling figures stacked front to back, the forward one leaning back at roughly thirty degrees with weight through the arms. The lean angle is the identifying feature.

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 sex_from_behind is broader than this position: sex_from_behind encodes only rear entry, and its wiki names doggystyle, standing doggystyle, prone bone, spooning and reverse cowgirl inside it, so it also covers the catalog's upright kneeling-rear-embrace. It discards that both partners kneel and that the front partner leans back about thirty degrees onto locked arms with the torso opened away from the body behind, the hinge that gives the position its working angle; leaning_back and arm_support carry the lean, though leaning_back's wiki names standing or sitting figures rather than kneeling ones.
