Shrimp Mode

When a woman is on top riding a short king and has to dramatically curl her body forward to kiss him at the same time — resembling a shrimp. 🦐

Background:
The term “shrimp mode” plays off the visual of a curled shrimp and the physical act of hunching forward or folding mid-thrust. Most common in cowgirl position when the girl’s the same height as or has a few inches on her man.

“He was 5’6” and I’m 5’8”, so every time I tried to kiss him while on top, I had to go full shrimp mode. Felt like I was gonna fold in half.”
