Side profileOverheadClose-up

Description: Both partners lie on the same side with the receiving partner curled forward into a tight C and the penetrating partner nested into the curve behind. The forward curl is what separates it from ordinary spooning: it opens the angle from behind without either partner rolling.

Variations: Depth of the curl, upper knee drawn toward the chest or left straight, and the rear partner's top arm over the waist or under the head.

On camera: The curl leaves a visible gap at the hips that flat spooning does not, so it is the version chosen when the shot has to show anything at all.

AI design considerations: Two side-lying figures with strongly matched C curves, the rear one nested inside the front one's arc. Parallel straight spines produce spooning instead.

Image to video (Grind (rocking))

pelvis rocks forward and back through a short arc, contact never breaking, 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 spooning is broader than this position: spooning defines two partners lying on their sides front to back, and its wiki applies it to cuddling as readily as to the sex position. It discards the receiver's forward curl into a tight C with the penetrating partner nested into that curve, the feature that opens the angle from behind and separates this entry from the catalog's own spooning entry, which owns the same tag.
