What are your favorite Japanese gravure idol poses?

Gradol (gravure idol) shoots have a certain kind of culture. The locations gradually start to feel familiar and the way the models pose is also often repeated.

In this post, we bring together a few typical poses.

We start with the raised-arm pose, where the armpit(s) are exposed along with the neck and chest area. This hints at what the gradol looks like when pressed down on a bed or up against a wall.

The sideways-on-all-fours pose has obvious appeal: you get to see what she looks like when poised for doing it doggy. A common variation of this pose is from behind — again, with obvious appeal.

The raised-leg(s) pose shows off the graceful length of the leg and thigh. Depending on the angle or whether the idol is standing or sitting, this has the benefit of accentuating her buttocks or groin.

The leaning-over pose draws attention to the bust.

The lying-down pose can be optimized if the lady has a great butt. Or even for slimmer ladies, the effect is still hot.

The before-a-mirror pose is deservedly popular because it shows off the back/buttocks as well as, alluringly, the front of the model while she looks back at you through the mirror.
