The woman lies on her back with her legs bent as the man kneels over her, placing one hand on each side of her head. The woman raises one leg and places it over his shoulder. She straightens her other leg along the bed. The man straightens the same leg as the woman on the same side (i.e., his left, her right). His tucked leg is the same one that the woman has over his shoulder (i.e., his right, her left).
