Common camera framing
Description: The receiving partner crouches low on the elbows and knees with the hips high, and the penetrating partner kneels behind. The crouch is deeper than a standard all-fours position, which drops the chest and steepens the angle of the back.
Variations: Forearms flat or hands clasped in front, knees close together or wide, and the head turned to the side rather than down.
On camera: The steep back line is what distinguishes it from a flat rear entry, and only a profile or a low angle shows it. From behind the two look identical.
AI design considerations: A crouched figure with the shoulders below hip height and a strong downward slope through the spine. The steep angle is the identifying feature and is what a default all-fours skeleton will not give.

Image to video (Thrust (deep))

Motion only. The still you condition on must already carry the position, wardrobe and scene: restating them causes drift.

How this position is denoted elsewhere, and what each mapping discards. Full table in the crosswalk.
doggystyle covers the whole kneeling rear-entry family with the receiving partner on hands and knees, and its wiki admits postures only close to all fours. It discards the deep crouch that defines this entry: the receiving partner lowered onto the elbows with the chest dropped below raised hips, so the spine slopes steeply down to the shoulders. top-down_bottom-up restores that wedge, but no tag separates this record from the catalog's leapfrog, which has the same chest-down, hips-high shape.
Tiger's TreadcloseSu Nü Jing (Classic of the Plain Girl)Attested source name. Second of the Nine Ways: the receiving partner bowed face down with the hips raised and the head low, the partner kneeling behind with the arms around the receiving partner's belly and entering deep for a count of five eights. The record sets the receiving partner on the elbows, a support the text does not name, and leaves the hold at the belly and the count open.
