A dynamic physical activity involving two people, definitionally neither sexual nor romantic in nature, characterized by the uke adopting a superior position relative to the other participant, who, depending on circumstances, is described by theorists as the nage, tori, or shite.

See for criticism the works of the Jakarta Nihilists, who argue, with shocking abruptness, that platonic facesitting is neither possible nor desirable.
