An even deeper squat, often with the hips almost touching the ground ~ legs open or closed depending on the mood.

legs_apart

Standing or sitting with a visible gap between the legs—confident, grounded, open stance.

suggestive_pose

Hints without showing ~ body placement and angles do the talking.

Legs moved apart in a deliberate way ~ open, bold, and full of energy.

legs_up

Legs are lifted ~ whether vertical, playful, or dramatic, it directs all eyes.

arched_back

Spine curves inward, chest forward, hips back ~ adds drama, shape, and sensuality.

looking_back_seductively

The classic over-the-shoulder glance ~ flirty, mysterious, with just enough tease.

resting_on_one_knee

More relaxed than a full kneel ~ balanced and easy, like a soft break in motion.

bent_over

Torso leans forward, hips back ~ can be playful, strong, or risqué depending on angle.

all_fours

Hands and knees on the ground ~ animalistic, grounded, and very body-focused.

lying, (on_stomach)

Body stretched out on the belly ~ soft lines, relaxed, or subtly inviting.

lying_on_side

Side-lying, one leg maybe bent ~ great for curve emphasis or a dreamy feel.

thigh_gap

When the thighs don’t touch ~ often highlighted when standing or posing with feet apart.

legs_together

Legs placed closely ~ neat, elegant, or reserved, depending on the vibe.

hips_thrust_forward

The hips tilt or twist toward the front ~ showing off the curve, like a POW moment.

Posing isn’t just about shapes ~ it’s about expression, movement, and the story we tell through the body. With a shared language, even a simple shift in the hips or tilt of the head becomes a creative choice.

So next time u’re stuck or curious, flip through this guide, pick a tag, and try a new angle ~ literally. U might be surprised what a fresh pose can do.

I hope u had a lot of fun reading and of course even more trying it out.
